When Should You Replace Your Deck?

Not sure whether it’s time for a complete deck replacement? Here are key signs your deck may be beyond repair:

Rotting or decaying support posts or boards
Widespread surface cracking or warping
Loose, unstable railings and stairs
Visible rust or corrosion on fasteners
The deck structure no longer meets the safety code
Your deck is over 20 years old

Repairing an old deck or an existing one can be challenging, especially if rot is present or the structure is outdated. In many cases, the cost of ongoing deck repair can add up fast, making a complete replacement of the old deck the best job for safety and longevity.

What’s Included in Our Deck Replacement Services

Our deck replacement process is designed to be seamless, safe, and stress-free. We work closely with each client throughout the design process to create a custom deck that fits your unique needs and preferences. Before starting your deck project, we make sure you have all the information you need about the project scope, materials, and timeline. Our team pays attention to every detail to ensure the finished product meets the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship.

1. Site Inspection & Consultation

We evaluate the condition of your current deck and determine whether any structural components can be salvaged. We then assess your goals, layout preferences, and desired materials, working with the homeowner to ensure their vision is fully understood.

2. Design & Planning

Need something custom? We’ll work with you to create a design that fits your space and lifestyle, with our expert designers collaborating on a deck design that matches your preferred style. You’ll get to choose from layout options, material finishes, railing styles, and more.

3. Demolition & Disposal

We safely dismantle and remove the existing deck structure—including decking boards, framing, posts, and railings. All debris is correctly disposed of or recycled.

4. New Deck Installation

We build your new deck using high-quality wood or composite materials, including the best materials such as real wood, cedar decks for a classic look, and composite decks like Trex products for durability and eco-friendliness. We use only the highest quality materials and offer a wide variety of decking materials and deck material options to ensure long-lasting decks with less maintenance and a natural look. You can also choose hidden fasteners for a seamless finish, and we have the expertise to design and build multi-level decks to enhance your outdoor living space. Our builds are fully code-compliant and tailored to withstand Austin’s climate.

5. Finishing Touches

We apply protective coatings, stain (if needed), and ensure your deck meets safety standards with solid railings and stairs, enhancing both the appearance and functionality of your deck. You can also ask us about integrated lighting or decorative features.

By creating a finished product that enhances your outdoor living space and pays attention to every detail, we ensure your deck not only looks great but also enhances your property’s value and enjoyment.

Your Material Options: Wood vs Composite

We offer complete flexibility when it comes to materials, with a wide variety of decking materials available to suit your needs. Most clients choose between:

Wood Deck Replacement

Classic, affordable, and easy to customize, real wood options like cedar decks are especially popular for their natural aroma and rustic appeal. Perfect for natural aesthetics. We typically use pressure-treated lumber, cedar, or redwood. Rot is a common issue with older wood decks, so replacing rotted boards or structures is often a smart choice.

Composite Deck Replacement

Low-maintenance, weather-resistant, and long-lasting. Composite decks offer less maintenance and a natural look, making them an attractive choice for homeowners. Composite decking mimics the look of wood without the upkeep. Brands like Trex and TimberTech are popular for their durability, fade resistance, and eco-friendly features. Trex products, in particular, are known for their quality and sustainability, making them a top choice for composite decks. Installation often uses hidden fasteners for a seamless, screw-less finish that enhances both aesthetics and longevity.
