Replace, Don't Rebuild
If your existing deck is old, shabby, and a maintenance nightmare, you don’t have to tear it all down and start over. Chances are that the structural parts are still in good shape. If so, you can simply remodel it with new decking, rails, and stairs, saving tons of money over the cost of a complete rebuild.
A Sound Structure
The number one thing we check before deciding to reuse the deck framework is whether the deck footings, posts and joists are structurally sound. Here are the main things you should examine when making the decision. We look at many things from the footings, to the wood condition to structural integrity to ensure your foundation is solid.
Solid Installation
Our next step is the replacement where we remove the existing railings and decking. Once everything has been removed we start installing the new decking and new rails. Once we have it all replaced we will apply 2 coats of color-enhanced sealant.
WHY composite?
If you choose to replace your deck with DeckGuru, we use Trex composite decking materials. There are many different benefits to composite decking over wood, including its low maintenance upkeep and durability. Composite decking also comes in a variety of colors and finishes so you can build an outdoor area that you love!
There is a reason we think it’s the best deck replacement material around!
3 Easy Steps to A Fresh Deck
Replace Old Decking with New Kiln Dried Wood Decking
The first step in revitalizing your deck involves removing the old, worn-out decking and replacing it with new kiln-dried wood decking. Kiln-dried wood is a superior choice because it has been dried in a controlled environment, reducing its moisture content. This process makes the wood more stable and less prone to warping, cracking, or splitting over time. The new decking not only improves the structural integrity of your deck but also enhances its aesthetic appeal, providing a fresh, clean surface for you and your family to enjoy.
Replace Old Railings with New Railings
The second step focuses on replacing the old railing with a new, sturdier, and more visually appealing rail system. Over time, deck railings can become loose, splintered, or otherwise damaged, posing a safety risk. By installing new rails, you ensure that your deck is not only safer but also more attractive. Modern railings come in various designs and materials, allowing you to choose an option that complements the overall look of your home while providing the necessary support and security.
Apply 2 Coats of Color Enhanced Sealer
The final step in the deck renovation process is to apply two coats of a color-enhanced sealer. This sealer serves multiple purposes: it protects the wood from the elements, enhances its natural beauty, and adds a rich, vibrant color to the decking. The first coat penetrates deep into the wood, providing a strong foundation, while the second coat reinforces this protection and ensures an even, durable finish. The color-enhanced sealer not only safeguards your deck against moisture, UV rays, and wear but also gives it a polished, professional look that will last for years to come.
