When do you know if a deck replacement is necessary?

You’ll want to consider the age and condition of your deck. Generally speaking, a cedar deck will last 20-25 years and the age is a good indication of when replacement will be needed. Most of the time you will start to see signs of rot/softness on the ends of boards and around the screws/nails. If your deck has widespread rot, damage and deterioration on the surface boards, steps, or railings, likely, you need deck replacement. If you notice significant damage or rot to the decks framing underneath also probably time for a deck replacement. If only a few boards need to be repaired or replaced, we also offer deck repair and restoration to extend the life of your existing deck.
