Full deck replacement and remodeling services focused on safe structure, updated design, and long-lasting materials for outdoor living spaces.

Deck replacement and remodeling means removing unsafe or dated decking, repairing or rebuilding the supporting structure, and installing new decking, railing, and stairs to match your use and style. Here is why homeowners choose rebuilds: older decks often show decay, loose fasteners, or outdated spacing that creates safety risks. This service restores structural safety, updates appearance, and extends usable life of your outdoor space. Let's break it down so you know what we do and what to expect.
Replace rotten ledger boards, joists, and footings to meet modern load needs.
Choose resistant materials like composite, pressure-treated lumber, or tropical hardwoods for years of service.
Bring older decks up to current building codes and inspection standards.
Reconfigure layout, add multi-level areas, built-in seating, or better access to yard and house.
A rebuilt deck often raises curb appeal and resale perceptions.
We start with an on-site assessment to check ledger connections, joist spacing, fasteners, posts, and footings. Next, we discuss material choices, railing styles, and any design changes. Permits often apply for structural changes; we handle permit submission or guide you through the local process. During demo, we remove old decking and assess hidden framing. If framing shows decay or undersized members, we replace joists, beams, and posts. We set or repair footings to code depth and pour new pads where required. We install new decking, flashing, railings, and stairs. Final steps include cleanup and a walkthrough to verify all handrails, guards, and treads meet safety criteria. Here is why this matters: proper attachment and flashing at the ledger prevent water intrusion and ledger failure.
Composite decking, pressure-treated lumber, cedar, redwood, or hardwoods like ipe.
New footings, pressure-treated or ACQ-rated framing, joist hangers, and hurricane ties if required.
Code-compliant guards, handrails, anti-slip treads, and stair lighting.
Proper metal flashing at ledger, through-wall flashing when required, and gap spacing for drainage.
Built-in benches, planters, pergolas, lighting, and multi-level decks.
Materials and permits drive cost and schedule. Typical timelines vary with scope: a like-for-like deck replacement can take days to weeks; complex remodels with new footings, stairs, or added structures can take longer. We provide a clear project timeline and a written estimate before work begins.
Safety checklist we follow: ledger attachment method, flashing, joist sizing, post-to-footing connection, guard height, stair rise/run, and fastener type. We document critical repairs and provide post-construction care tips for long life.
