Deck Replacement & Rebuilds

When Full Replacement Makes Sense

There comes a time when repairing an old deck just does not make financial or safety sense anymore. If your deck is 20 years or older, shows extensive structural damage, or has multiple failing components, a complete replacement is often the smarter choice. You get a safer, more beautiful space that meets current building codes and gives you decades of worry-free enjoyment.

We recommend replacement when we find widespread rot in joists or beams, major settling or structural movement, outdated construction that does not meet current codes, extensive damage to more than half the deck, or when you want to significantly change the deck's size or layout. A new deck also gives you the opportunity to upgrade materials, improve functionality, and create the outdoor living space you have always wanted.

Our Replacement Process

We make deck replacement as smooth and hassle-free as possible. After your initial consultation and design approval, we handle everything from permits to final cleanup. Our team carefully removes your old deck, inspects the area for any hidden issues, and prepares the site for new construction.

Here is what sets our replacement projects apart:

• Complete removal and disposal of old materials
• Site inspection and any necessary ground prep work
• Modern construction techniques for maximum longevity
• Compliance with current Thousand Oaks building codes
• Updated safety features and improved design
• Choice of traditional wood or low-maintenance composite

Choosing Your New Deck Materials

One of the biggest decisions in a deck replacement is material selection. Traditional wood decks offer natural beauty and a classic look, but require regular maintenance. Cedar and redwood resist rot naturally and look gorgeous, though they need yearly staining. Pressure-treated lumber is budget-friendly and durable when properly maintained.

More homeowners are choosing composite decking for replacements because it eliminates ongoing maintenance while looking great for decades. If you want the appearance of wood without the work, our composite deck installation might be perfect for you. We help you weigh the upfront costs against long-term maintenance savings to make the best choice for your situation and budget.

Improving Your Deck Design

Deck replacement gives you the chance to fix everything you did not like about your old deck. Want more space for entertaining? We can expand the footprint if your yard allows. Need better traffic flow? We can redesign the layout with wider stairs or multiple access points. Looking for more shade? We can integrate built-in planters or prepare the structure for a future pergola addition.

We also bring modern safety features into every rebuild. Updated railing systems provide better protection while improving visibility. Proper lighting integration makes your deck safer at night. Slip-resistant surfaces and code-compliant stair dimensions reduce accident risks. If you are interested in enhancing your new deck further, we also specialize in pergolas and patio covers that can be added during construction or later.
