Already have a deck but it’s looking tired, outdated, or just not working for your family anymore? You don’t always have to start from scratch. A deck upgrade can breathe new life into your outdoor space—and in many cases, it’s more affordable than a full rebuild.

Signs It’s Time for an Upgrade

  • Boards are cracked, splintered, or warped
  • Railing feels loose or looks outdated
  • The layout doesn’t suit how you use the space
  • You want a more modern, low-maintenance finish

Upgrade Options to Consider

  1. Replace the Surface Materials
    If your deck frame is still in good shape, swapping out the surface boards for a composite material like Wolf Decking gives you the look of a new deck—without starting over. Bonus: it’s low maintenance and backed by a 50-year fade warranty.
  2. Add New Railings
    Modern railings like STAR Aluminum instantly improve safety and style. Sleek, durable, and customizable, they’re a smart way to update your deck’s look.
  3. Reconfigure the Layout
    Do you need more room to entertain? Do you want better access to your yard? We can redesign your current deck footprint to fit your needs—while using as much of the original structure as possible.
  4. Add Lighting or Privacy Features
    Simple additions like post lighting, privacy walls, or pergolas can make a huge difference in how your deck looks and feels.

 

Not sure where to start?
We’ll inspect your current deck, review what can be reused, and create a plan that fits your style, budget, and lifestyle.
