Deck Replacement & Rebuilds

How do you know when it's time to replace instead of repair? Here are the clear indicators we look for when evaluating decks in Waco:

• Widespread structural rot: If the support posts, beams, or joists have significant rot, repairs become more expensive than starting over
• Age and outdated design: Decks built 20+ years ago often used smaller dimensional lumber and outdated building methods that don't meet today's codes
• Multiple failing components: When you need new decking, railings, stairs, and structural repairs all at once, replacement usually makes more financial sense
• Safety concerns: Decks with severe structural issues, loose connections, or ledger board failure pose real dangers and need complete rebuilding
• Poor original construction: Some decks were never built correctly, with improper footings, inadequate framing, or code violations that require a full rebuild
• Desire for major changes: If you want to significantly change the size, shape, or layout of your deck, starting fresh is often the best approach

We make the replacement process as smooth as possible. First, we remove your old deck carefully and responsibly. We haul away all the debris and make sure your yard is clean before we start building. If we discover any issues with the ledger board connection to your house or problems with the ground where the posts were, we take care of those too.

Next, we build your new deck using proper techniques and quality materials. This means concrete footings that go below the frost line, pressure-treated lumber for the frame, and your choice of decking material on top. We can build with traditional wood decking options or modern low-maintenance composite materials depending on what you prefer.

The framework is where quality really matters. We use properly sized joists spaced at the right intervals, galvanized or stainless steel hardware that won't rust, and connections that meet or exceed local building code requirements. Your new deck will be engineered to support the loads it needs to handle safely.

We also handle all the finishing details including railings, stairs, fascia boards, and any custom features you want. This is your chance to add built-in benches, planter boxes, privacy screens, or other elements that make your deck more functional and enjoyable.

Starting fresh with a new deck gives you advantages that repairs simply can't match. You get a structure that's built with modern materials and techniques that will last 25 to 30 years or more with proper maintenance. Everything is under warranty, and you know exactly what's under those deck boards because we built it right.

A new deck also gives you the opportunity to improve your outdoor living space. Maybe your old deck was too small for entertaining or didn't have stairs going to the yard where you needed them. Now you can design the perfect layout for how you actually use your backyard. We can incorporate multiple levels, better flow to your doors, or wider stairs that make the space more accessible.

Plus, a beautiful new deck adds real value to your home. When it comes time to sell, buyers will see a well-built outdoor space that doesn't need any work. That's attractive, and it can help your home sell faster and for a better price. In the meantime, you get to enjoy a deck that looks amazing and provides safe space for your family and friends to gather.
