ELC Wins Best Overall in the 2024 DSI Photo Contest

Following some very kind press in Northwest Columbus City Magazine, we’re thrilled to announce that The Exterior Living Company (ELC) has been awarded Best Overall in Digger Specialties Inc.’s 2024 Photo Contest! This incredible recognition highlights the craftsmanship and attention to detail that are the hallmarks of our work. We take great pride in all our projects and cherish being recognized for our team’s execution of this stunning cable rail deck build. The honor of receiving this award is the cherry on top of an exterior-living vision brought to life.

The Winning Project

The award-winning design features DSI’s Westbury® Tuscany and Westbury® VertiCable Railing which were carefully selected to complement the architecture of the home while enhancing sightlines across multiple deck levels for a seamless blend of elegance and functionality.

This deck was thoughtfully designed to support both everyday living and entertaining, achieved with multiple defined spaces, while creating a cohesive look through consistent material choices. The Westbury® Tuscany railing provides a refined, architectural look with a durable aluminum frame, while the Westbury® VertiCable infill adds a contemporary edge.

By implementing vertical cable, this design maintains unobstructed views, ensuring the homeowner’s enjoyment of the surrounding landscape. These premium wire railings combine modern aesthetics with unmatched durability for the perfect finishing touch on a gorgeous, multi-level deck design.

Partners in Excellence

Winning the DSI Photo Contest is a testament to our commitment to quality, creativity, and attention to detail. This recognition highlights our team’s ability to pair premium materials, like deck cable railing systems, with expert design and installation, resulting in outdoor spaces that are as durable as they are beautiful.

This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without our trusted partners:‍

• Source of Purchased Materials: Northwest Building Resources
• DSI Distributor: Palmer Donavin

Our sincere thanks to NBR and Palmer Donavin. Their support and high-quality products, including cable railing systems, have ensured the success of this and so many other projects from start to finish.
