When to replace your decking or do a full replacement
This is a question that we get a lot, and it comes down to your deck itself. If your deck has structural decay, such as shifting, deep rot, or sagging of your support beams, joists, or posts, it might be best to consider a whole-deck replacement. Same if you are looking to change the layout of your deck, need to meet modern building codes, or are simply dealing with a deck that is nearing two decades old, it might be best to consider a replacement. On the other hand, if you want an aesthetic upgrade, have localized surface wear or have a younger, well-maintained deck with sound substructure, a re-decking might be the best course of action. If you don't have a deck at all and are looking for one that's where the new build comes in!
Deck Replacement
For an aging deck, a deck replacement might be the best solution for your decking needs. Many older decks have sub-decking that is subpar and needs to be replaced to ensure that it can handle the weight of newer features or decking materials. Our team can work with you to complete a full deck replacement, including pouring new footers, installing new header boards, and designing your sub-deck to better support the weight of BBQs, patio furniture, or even a new hot tub.
Re-Decking
Our re-decking services allow you to work with a seasoned contractor who can re-deck your existing deck frame with new timber or composite boards while keeping your sub-deck in place. This process will save you thousands in terms of total construction costs, and can extend your deck’s life by years, if not decades, when done properly.
New Decking
Our team can create an entirely new outdoor living space with a brand-new deck where there wasn’t one before. Whether you want a comfortable place to relax, entertain guests, or enjoy more time outdoors, we’ll design and build a deck that fits your home and lifestyle. We use quality decking materials and professional installation to deliver lasting performance, beauty, and curb appeal. From the design to the completed build, our team handles it all.
Deck Materials
Types of Decking
Here in New England, there are two main types of decking material that we use due to the nature of our climate and the fact that we get four seasons. Wood decks are the most common here and can withstand the rain, snow, and sun we get in Connecticut. Composite decks have started to increase in popularity due to their relatively low maintenance and expanded life span.
Wood
Wood is the traditional and most popular option for decking material here in New England for a reason. It is budget-friendly, aesthetically pleasing and what you think of when you think of a deck here in Connecticut. The type of wood will also matter, and many homeowners will choose pressure-treated lumber, normally yellow pine, or Western Red Cedar for their deck. Others seeking a more luxurious decking option will turn to a tropical hardwood like Ipe, which is resistant to severe weather and insects. Whatever your choice, your new wood deck will be a perfect option to sit back and enjoy a beautiful Connecticut summer night.
Composite
Composite is quickly gaining on wood as its long lifespan and relatively low maintenance make it an attractive option for many homeowners. Composite is typically made of a mix of plastic and recycled wood fibres and is resistant to rotting, fading and warping over years of use. With hundreds of patterns, colours, and textures, composite decking is a great option for those who are looking for a 20+ year deck and do not want to re-deck. Now, one thing to note is that these decks are going to be hotter, especially if you choose a dark colour, than your normal wood deck, which can be a bit of a surprise for someone who has never walked on one before.
