Deck Replacement & Rebuilds

Not sure if your deck needs repair or replacement? Here are the warning signs that indicate it is time for a new deck:

• Widespread rot: If multiple boards, joists, or posts are rotted, the structural integrity is compromised. Replacing individual pieces might not be enough.
• Loose or wobbly structure: If your whole deck shakes when you walk on it, the frame may be failing. This is a serious safety hazard.
• Age over 20 years: Most wood decks last 15 to 20 years. If your deck is older than that, replacement is usually more cost-effective than extensive repairs.
• Missing or failed ledger board: The ledger board attaches your deck to your house. If it is loose, rotted, or improperly attached, it can cause the deck to pull away from the building.
• Damage to more than 25 percent of boards: When a quarter or more of your deck is damaged, the cost of repairs quickly adds up. New construction often makes more sense.
• Outdated design: Maybe your deck still functions but no longer fits your lifestyle or aesthetic. A rebuild gives you a chance to redesign the space.

Replacing a deck is a bigger project than repair, but we make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Here is what you can expect:

Step 1: Inspection and Consultation

We visit your home to inspect your existing deck and discuss your goals. Do you want to keep the same footprint or change the design? Would you like to upgrade to low-maintenance composite materials? We answer your questions and help you make informed decisions.

Step 2: Design and Estimate

We create a design for your new deck and provide a detailed written estimate. We explain what materials we will use, how long the project will take, and what the total cost will be. No surprises, no hidden fees.

Step 3: Permits and Scheduling

We handle all permit applications with the city of Antioch or your local jurisdiction. Once permits are approved, we schedule your project and give you a start date.

Step 4: Demolition

Our crew carefully tears down your old deck and hauls away all debris. We protect your landscaping and property during this process. Demolition usually takes one to two days depending on the size of the deck.

Step 5: New Construction

We build your new deck from the ground up using quality materials and proper construction techniques. This includes pouring footings, building the frame, installing decking boards, adding railings and stairs, and finishing all details. Most deck builds take one to two weeks.

Step 6: Final Inspection and Walkthrough

After construction is complete, we schedule a final inspection with the city to ensure everything meets building codes. Then we walk through the finished deck with you to make sure you are completely satisfied. We clean up the work area and you are ready to enjoy your new outdoor space.

Replacing your deck is an investment, but it comes with real benefits:

• Safety and peace of mind: You do not have to worry about weak boards, loose railings, or structural failure. Everything is new and built to code.
• Improved home value: A new deck is a valuable addition that increases your property's resale value and curb appeal.
• Modern materials: You can upgrade to composite, PVC, or premium wood that lasts longer and requires less maintenance.
• Better design: Redesign your deck to better fit your lifestyle. Add levels, built-in seating, better stairs, or expanded space.
• Warranty protection: New construction comes with warranties on materials and workmanship, giving you long-term protection.
