Honest Assessment

Repair or Replace? Here's How We Decide

Not every tired deck needs to come down. At your free on-site assessment, Ben Watson walks the deck with you and checks the framing, footings, ledger and railings. Then you get a straight answer about which path makes sense. If a repair or resurface will do the job, we'll tell you.

Repair or resurface when:

  • The joists, beams and posts are dry, straight and solid
  • The problems are limited to surface boards, a few stairs or one section of railing
  • The footings haven't moved
  • You're happy with the deck's size and layout
See deck repair and resurfacing

Replace when:

  • Rot has reached the joists, beams or posts
  • The ledger where the deck meets the house is failing or was never flashed
  • Footings have heaved, sunk or were set too shallow
  • The deck bounces, sways or leans
  • Railings or stairs don't meet current code
  • You want a different size, shape or height

Upgrade While You Replace

A replacement is the easiest moment to change how your deck looks, works and ages. Everything comes off anyway, so you're not tearing out something new later.

The Process

How a Deck Replacement Works

  1. On-site assessment

    We inspect the framing, footings, ledger and railings, measure the space and ask how you actually use the yard.

  2. Design and written estimate

    You see material samples at your home and get an itemized written estimate, so you know exactly what's included before you commit.

  3. Permits

    We pull the building permit and schedule the inspections. You don't have to deal with the city.

  4. Tear-out and haul-away

    We remove the old deck and haul the debris away.

  5. Footings and framing

    Footings and framing are rebuilt or reinforced as needed, and the ledger connection to your house is done properly.

  6. Build and final walkthrough

    We build the new deck, clean up, and walk through it with you before we call it done.

Most standard decks are built in 3 to 7 days once work starts. Tear-out, multi-level designs and covered decks add time, and your estimate spells out the schedule.

Questions

Deck Replacement FAQs

Can you keep my frame and just replace the boards?
Often, yes. If the joists, beams and footings are sound, resurfacing with new boards and railings can be the better fit than a full rebuild. We'll check during the assessment and tell you honestly.
Do I need a permit to replace a deck?
A full replacement usually needs a building permit in Omaha and the surrounding cities. We handle the permit and schedule the inspections for you.
How long does a deck replacement take?
Most standard decks take 3 to 7 days once work starts. Tear-out, multi-level designs, roofs and heavy hardscape add time, and weather can shift the schedule. Your estimate will show the plan.
Can the new deck be bigger or a different shape?
Yes. Replacement is the easiest time to change the footprint, add a level or rework the stairs. We'll make sure the new design works with your lot and the permit.
Do you replace decks in fall and winter?
Yes. We build through most of the year, including colder months. The off-season can be a smart time to build.
