Deck Replacement & Rebuilds

When It Is Time to Replace Your Deck

Sometimes repairs are not enough. If your deck has widespread rot, sagging support beams, or major structural issues, replacement is the safer and smarter choice. An old, failing deck is not just an eyesore. It is a safety hazard. Weak boards can collapse, and rotted railings can give way. If your deck is more than 15 years old and showing serious signs of wear, it is probably time for a rebuild.

Replacing your deck also gives you a fresh start. You can upgrade to better materials like composite or choose a new design that fits your lifestyle. Maybe you want a bigger deck for entertaining or a multi-level layout with built-in seating. A rebuild lets you create the outdoor space you have always wanted. We help homeowners across Merced replace old decks with beautiful new ones every year.

Our Deck Replacement Process

Replacing a deck is a big project, but we make it easy for you. We start with a free consultation at your home. We will inspect your current deck, discuss your goals, and show you design options. You will get to see material samples and learn about the pros and cons of each choice. Then we provide a detailed quote with no hidden costs.

Once you approve the plan, we handle everything. We will tear down your old deck and haul away the debris. Then we build a new foundation, install the framing, and add your new deck boards. We finish with railings, stairs, and any custom features you want. Here is what you can expect from our deck replacement service:

• •Complete removal of your old deck and proper disposal of materials
• •New foundation and framing built to current building codes
• •Professional installation of your choice of wood or composite decking
• •Custom railings, stairs, and safety features that meet code requirements
• •Final inspection to ensure everything is safe and up to standard

We keep your property clean throughout the project and finish on schedule. When we are done, you will have a stunning new deck that adds value to your Merced home.

Choose the Right Materials for Your New Deck

One of the best parts of replacing your deck is choosing new materials. You are not stuck with what you had before. Wood decks offer natural beauty and a classic look. They cost less upfront but need regular maintenance. Cedar and redwood are popular choices that resist rot and insects.

Composite decking is the top choice for low-maintenance living. It resists fading, staining, and scratching. You never have to stain or seal it. Just rinse it off with a hose. Composite costs more at first, but you save on maintenance over the years. We can help you compare options and find the best fit for your budget and lifestyle.
