ABOUT Deck Restoration

What is Deck Restoration?

Deck restoration is the process of rejuvenating an existing deck by repairing and resurfacing its structure, rather than replacing it entirely. This process involves inspecting the deck’s footers and framing, replacing damaged components, and installing new deck boards and railings. Using materials such as Trex composite decking, we can breathe new life into your deck, transforming it into a beautiful and low-maintenance outdoor space.

The Deck Restoration Process

2. Assessment for Restoration Feasibility

Based on the inspection, we determine whether the deck can be restored with approximately 80% accuracy. While no inspection is 100% foolproof, our experienced consultants provide a highly accurate assessment to guide the restoration process.

1. Inspection of Footers and Framing

The first step in restoring a deck is to assess the condition of its foundation. Footers are inspected to ensure they are structurally sound. The framing, including joists and beams, is also checked for rot, damage, and levelness. If the deck is enclosed or difficult to access, a few boards may be removed for a thorough evaluation.

3. Frame Repair and Reinforcement

If any of the framing components, such as joists or beams, are found to be compromised, they can be replaced or reinforced (“sistered”). This ensures the structural integrity of the deck for years to come.

4. Joist and Beam Protection

After repairing or reinforcing the framing, we apply a protective epoxy to the top of the joists and beams. This step is crucial to extending the lifespan of the deck, as it shields the wood from moisture and weather-related damage.

6. Rebuilding the Steps and Railings

The final steps in the process include rebuilding the stairs (which often need replacing in older decks) and installing a new railing system. This completes the transformation of the deck into a modern, functional outdoor space.

ADVANTAGES

Benefits of Deck Restoration

Breathe new life into your existing deck without the cost or chaos of a full rebuild. Deck restoration targets what matters—safety, structure, and surfaces—so you get a sturdier, better-looking space on a clear timeline and budget.

01

Enhanced Safety

Restoring a deck ensures its structural components are secure and stable, enhancing overall safety for family and guests. We replace compromised joists, tighten connections, and update railings to current best practices for confident, everyday use.

02

Lower Cost

Restoring a deck is significantly more affordable than replacing it entirely, as only the damaged components are repaired or replaced. You keep the sound structure, invest where it counts, and stretch your budget further for finishes and upgrades.

03

No Permit Required

In most cases, deck restoration does not require a building permit, streamlining the process and avoiding bureaucratic delays. We still verify local bylaws and ensure all work aligns with safety and compliance standards.

04

Minimal Disruption

Since the framework remains intact, deck restoration is less messy and time-consuming compared to full deck replacement. Faster timelines, fewer dumpster loads, and a tidy site mean you’re back to enjoying the space sooner.

05

Second-Story Waterproofing Option

For elevated decks, waterproofing options can be added to protect the deck’s framing and create a dry, usable space beneath it. Integrate soffit lighting, fans, or storage to turn under-deck space into a true outdoor room.

06

Increased Property Value

A well-maintained deck adds significant value to your property, improving both functionality and curb appeal. Fresh surfaces, safe stairs, and modern railings present a cared-for home that resonates with future buyers.
