When repairs aren't enough, we'll build you a better deck from the ground up.
Sometimes a deck is just too far gone to save. When the structure is compromised, when repairs would cost nearly as much as starting over, or when you simply want something better, replacement is the answer. We handle complete deck teardown and rebuilds throughout Norwalk, CT, turning unsafe or outdated decks into beautiful outdoor living spaces.
Here's the truth. We make money whether you repair or replace your deck. So when we recommend replacement, it's because that's genuinely the better option for you. These are the situations where starting fresh makes sense:
We provide side-by-side estimates showing the cost of major repairs versus complete replacement. Sometimes the difference is only a few thousand dollars, and replacement gives you a brand new deck with a warranty instead of a patched-up old one. The choice is always yours, but we make sure you have all the information to decide wisely.
We start by carefully removing your old deck. This isn't a demolition derby. We disconnect electrical lines if you have lighting, cap gas lines if there's a grill hookup, and protect your landscaping and house siding. All debris is hauled away the same day, so you're never left with a pile of old wood in your yard.
Once the site is clear, we inspect the ledger board connection and footings. If they're in good shape, we can reuse them, which saves you money. If they need replacement, we pull permits and do it right. This is the foundation of your new deck, and it needs to be perfect.
Then we build your new deck using the same careful process we follow for custom deck installations. You choose the materials, style, and features you want. We handle the construction, inspections, and finishing touches. Most replacement projects in Norwalk take one to two weeks from teardown to completion, depending on the deck's size and complexity.
Deck replacement is the perfect time to improve on the original design. Maybe your old deck was too small for your needs. Maybe the stairs were in an awkward spot. Maybe you always wished you had built-in seating or better lighting.
We've helped dozens of homeowners reimagine their outdoor space during replacement projects. Common upgrades include expanding the square footage, adding multiple levels, installing composite materials for less maintenance, and incorporating features like pergolas or built-in planters.
This is also when we ensure everything is up to current code. Railing heights, baluster spacing, stair dimensions, and structural requirements have all evolved over the years. Your new deck will be safer, more durable, and more valuable than what you're replacing. Many homeowners add upgraded railings and safety features that weren't available when their original deck was built.
