When It's Time for a Complete Deck Replacement

Sometimes repair just isn't enough. If your deck has serious structural damage, widespread rot, or if it's just too old and worn out, replacement is the safest and most cost-effective solution. A failing deck isn't just an eyesore, it's a genuine safety hazard for your family and guests.

We typically recommend replacement when the main support structure is compromised. If your posts, beams, or joists show signs of rot or termite damage, you can't just patch them up and hope for the best. The same goes for decks that sag, bounce excessively when you walk on them, or have pulled away from your house. These are signs that the foundation itself is failing.

Many homeowners in Glendale also choose replacement as an opportunity to upgrade. Maybe your deck is small and you want more space for entertaining. Maybe it's outdated and doesn't match your home's style anymore. Or maybe you're tired of maintaining a wood deck and want to switch to low-maintenance composite materials. Whatever your reason, a full rebuild gives you the chance to create exactly what you want.

Our Complete Deck Replacement Process

Replacing a deck is a significant project, and we handle every step from start to finish. You don't need to coordinate multiple contractors or worry about permits. We take care of everything so you can focus on enjoying your new outdoor space.

What Our Replacement Service Includes:

  • Complete removal and disposal of your old deck, including hauling away all debris
  • Inspection of the area underneath to check for any foundation or house attachment issues
  • Design consultation to discuss size, layout, materials, and features for your new deck
  • Obtaining all required permits and scheduling city inspections
  • Building your new deck with proper foundation work, quality materials, and expert craftsmanship
  • Installation of railings, stairs, and any additional features you want

We build every deck to meet or exceed local building codes. This isn't just about passing inspection, it's about ensuring your deck is safe and structurally sound for decades to come. We use proper ledger board attachment, adequate footings, and appropriate spacing for all framing members based on your deck's size and the materials we're using.

Choosing the Right Materials for Your New Deck

When you're replacing your deck, you have the opportunity to choose materials that better fit your lifestyle and budget. The two main options are traditional wood and modern composite materials, and both have their advantages.

Wood decks have a classic look and a lower upfront cost. Pressure-treated pine is the most affordable option, while cedar and redwood offer natural resistance to rot and insects. Wood does require regular maintenance like staining and sealing, but many homeowners enjoy that process and the ability to change the color when they want a fresh look.

Composite decking costs more initially but requires almost no maintenance. No staining, no sealing, just occasional cleaning. The materials don't rot, warp, or splinter, and they come with warranties of 25 years or more. For busy homeowners who want to spend their time enjoying their deck rather than maintaining it, composite is often the better choice.

We can also incorporate additional features during your rebuild. Built-in benches, planters, lighting, or a pergola for shade can all be integrated into your new deck design. This is your chance to create an outdoor space that truly works for how you live.

What to Expect During Your Deck Rebuild

Most deck replacements take between one and three weeks from demo to completion. The exact timeline depends on your deck's size, the complexity of the design, and factors like weather and permit approval times. We give you a realistic schedule upfront and keep you informed throughout the project.

Demo day is usually quick. We can typically tear down an existing deck in a day or two. After that, we start building your new deck from the ground up. We follow a systematic process, starting with the foundation and working our way up to the decking surface, railings, and finishing details.

We know construction projects can be disruptive. We work efficiently to minimize the impact on your daily routine. We keep the work area as clean and organized as possible, and we do a thorough cleanup when we're finished. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we're not done until you're completely happy with your new deck.
