Deck Replacement & Rebuilds

When Your Deck Needs Complete Replacement

Sometimes repair just isn't enough. If your deck has extensive rot, structural problems, or was built incorrectly from the start, replacement is the smart choice. A new deck gives you peace of mind knowing everything is safe, up to code, and built to last. Plus, you get the chance to redesign your outdoor space exactly how you want it.

Many older decks in Missouri City were built before current building codes existed. They might lack proper ledger board attachment, have inadequate footings, or use fasteners that aren't suitable for deck construction. These issues create serious safety risks. Rather than trying to patch an unsafe deck, starting fresh ensures your new deck meets all current safety standards and will serve your family well for decades.

Your deck replacement also gives you the opportunity to upgrade. Want a larger deck? Better layout? Different materials like composite instead of wood? Now is the time to create the outdoor living space you have always wanted. We help Missouri City homeowners reimagine their backyards with functional, beautiful new decks that increase home value and improve quality of life.

Signs Your Deck Needs Replacement

Not sure if you need repairs or complete replacement? These warning signs indicate it's time for a new deck. If you notice several of these issues, replacement is likely your best option for safety and value.

Red Flags That Mean Replacement

• •Widespread Rot: When multiple joists, beams, or large sections of decking are rotted beyond repair
• •Failing Foundation: Posts that are leaning, sinking, or no longer properly supporting the deck
• •Ledger Board Issues: Separation from the house or rot in the connection area creates collapse risk
• •Age and Materials: Decks over 20 years old, especially those built with lower quality materials
• •Code Violations: Missing or inadequate railings, improper stair construction, unsafe height
• •Poor Original Construction: Decks built without permits, improper framing, inadequate fastening

We offer free inspections to assess your deck's condition honestly. If repairs make sense, we will tell you. If replacement is the safer, smarter choice, we will explain why and show you what's possible with a new deck. Our goal is always to help you make the best decision for your situation and budget, not to push services you don't need.

Our Deck Replacement Process

Replacing your deck is a big project, but we make it as smooth and stress-free as possible. From design through cleanup, we handle every detail so you can focus on imagining the great times you will have on your new deck.

How We Build Your New Deck

First, we carefully remove your old deck and dispose of all materials. We check the house structure where the ledger board attaches to make sure everything is sound. If we find any issues with your home's rim joist or siding, we fix those before proceeding. This ensures your new deck has a solid, safe connection point.

Next comes the foundation work. We dig footings to the proper depth for Texas soil conditions and pour concrete piers. Then we install posts, beams, and the ledger board using proper flashing and fasteners. This structural phase is critical. Everything must be level, square, and built to code before we move on to the decking surface.

Now we install the joists and decking. Whether you choose traditional wood or low-maintenance composite, we use proper installation techniques for the material. We add railings, stairs, and any special features you have chosen. Finally, we clean up thoroughly, haul away all debris, and walk you through your beautiful new deck.

Throughout the project, we keep you updated on progress. We show up when we say we will, work efficiently, and respect your property. Most deck replacements take 1 to 2 weeks depending on size and complexity. We handle all required permits and inspections so everything is done right and legally.

Design Your Dream Deck

Deck replacement gives you a blank slate. You can keep the same size and layout if you loved it, or redesign completely. Want to add a second level? Create separate zones for dining and lounging? Include built-in benches or planters? This is your chance to get everything right.

We help you choose materials that fit your lifestyle and budget. Pressure-treated wood offers traditional beauty at an affordable price. Composite decking costs more upfront but requires almost no maintenance. Cedar and redwood provide natural rot resistance and gorgeous color. We explain the pros and cons of each option so you can make an informed decision.

Many homeowners also add features like pergolas for shade, built-in lighting for evening entertaining, or privacy screens. We can incorporate these elements into your new deck design. The result is a cohesive outdoor space that looks great and functions perfectly for how you live.
