Redecking a deck to have a longer-lasting, low-maintenance option is ideal!
Did you know that redecking a deck is possible? In some cases, you don’t have to replace your entire deck, saving a lot of money. So it’s crucial to know when your deck is still salvageable and when it has reached the point of no return. If you’re an Ellicott City resident that wants to give your deck your new life without spending money on new construction, Freedom Fence has you covered. Here is the difference between redecking and deck replacement.
Redecking Defined
Redecking refers to the recycling of a deck’s substructure. When you resurface a deck, the new elements are its boards, rails, and stairs. Redecking can only happen when a deck’s structural integrity is still durable and safe. The framework should not have any damage. If so, you need a new deck. Typically, redecking doesn’t require a permit or inspection because there are no significant changes to the layout or structure. Why does this matter? Because you save money and upgrading your deck will take less time.
If you’re a homeowner that now desires a low-maintenance option, the resurfacing process benefits you because you can now look forward to composite materials. It doesn’t take a lot to not only modernize your deck but enhance its longevity.
