Deck Replacement & Rebuilds

Is It Time for a Complete Replacement?

Some decks reach a point where repairs no longer make sense. You might be pouring money into fixes that only buy you another year or two. Meanwhile, the underlying structure continues to deteriorate. If your deck is more than 15 years old and showing serious wear, replacement often gives you better value in the long run.

Safety is the biggest concern. An aging deck can be dangerous if the structural supports are compromised. Rotted posts, failing joists, or corroded fasteners put your family at risk. We would rather see you invest in a solid new deck than worry about an old one collapsing during a gathering.

Signs You Need Full Replacement

• Major structural components like posts or beams are rotted or damaged
• More than a quarter of your deck boards need replacement
• The foundation or ledger board attachment is failing
• Your deck does not meet current building codes for safety
• You have ongoing moisture problems that cannot be fixed
• You want to completely redesign the size, shape, or layout

A deck replacement is also your chance to upgrade. Maybe your current deck is too small for how you use your yard now. Or perhaps you want better materials, built-in seating, or improved access to your home. Starting fresh lets you create the perfect outdoor space for your lifestyle.

How We Handle Deck Replacement

We start by removing your old deck completely. This includes tearing out all boards, railings, stairs, and structural supports. We haul away the debris and leave your yard clean. This gives us a blank slate to work with and lets us inspect the area thoroughly before building.

Before we build anything new, we check the condition of your existing foundation. Sometimes we can reuse concrete footings if they are still solid and properly placed. Other times, new footings make more sense to meet current codes or accommodate design changes. We explain our recommendations and make sure you understand the reasoning.

The rebuild follows the same quality standards as our custom deck installations. We use premium materials, follow best building practices, and pay attention to every detail. Your new deck is built to last decades, not just a few years. We also handle all permits and inspections so you do not have to worry about compliance.

Redesigning During Replacement

Replacing your deck gives you the perfect opportunity to rethink your outdoor space. You are not locked into the old footprint or design. We can expand your deck, change its shape, add multiple levels, or incorporate built-in features like benches or planters.

Many homeowners use replacement as a chance to upgrade materials. If you had a basic pressure-treated wood deck, you might switch to composite for lower maintenance. Or you could choose premium hardwood for a more elegant look. The choice is yours, and we help you understand the pros and cons of each material option.

Access improvements make a big difference in how you use your deck. We can add new stairs in better locations, improve doorways from your house, or create better flow to your yard. If you are thinking about adding a pergola or patio cover, a deck replacement is the ideal time to integrate those features into your design.

What to Expect

A typical deck replacement takes two to three weeks from demolition to completion. The exact timeline depends on your deck size, design complexity, and weather conditions. We work efficiently but never rush quality. You will get a detailed schedule at the start of your project with regular updates as we progress.

Cost is always a concern with major projects. Deck replacement is a significant investment, but it adds real value to your home. You are essentially adding functional outdoor living space that buyers love. Plus, you get to enjoy it for years before you ever think about selling.

We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs including materials, labor, permits, and disposal. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges. If you discover additional issues during demolition, we discuss them with you before doing any extra work. Your budget is important to us, and we respect it.
