This Redondo Beach condo complex, originally built in the 1960s, had eight suspended balcony decks showing significant deterioration. Years of exposure had led to water intrusion, dry rot, and termite damage, and several of the structural members were no longer reliable. The HOA hired Bay Cities Construction to redesign, engineer, and replace all eight balcony decks with a safer, stronger, and longer-lasting system.

Construction & installation
The original balconies were built with wood framing that had deteriorated significantly due to lack of maintenance. Moisture penetration caused dry rot, structural weakening, and material failure across multiple decks.
A distinctive feature of this property was a 50-foot wooden bridge system that connected two separate structures. The existing design was no longer safe, but the HOA wanted to preserve the architectural intent.
Our design team recreated the bridge system using heavy LVL beams engineered to safely span the distance between the two buildings. This preserved the original layout while delivering significantly improved structural strength and durability.
Each balcony was rebuilt using Trex composite decking, providing:
Weather resistance
Longer lifespan
Lower maintenance
Improved appearance
Bay Cities Construction managed the project from start to finish, including:
Architectural and engineering plans
City of Redondo Beach plan check and permits
Structural framing and installation
Coordination with the HOA and building management
The eight new balcony decks and bridge system restored safe use of the outdoor spaces while modernizing the look and improving long-term durability for the entire complex. The HOA received a fully engineered, code-compliant solution built to last for decades with minimal maintenance.
