Deck Replacement & Resurfacing in Austin, Texas.
Keep the structure, replace the surface — or replace the whole deck. We tell you honestly which one you need.
Most Austin decks fail from the frame up, not the top down. Years of afternoon sun, wet-dry swings, and clay that lifts and drops footings leave older decks with rot at the ledger, racked framing, and posts that no longer sit where they were set. The surface may still look passable while the structure quietly loses its footing beneath it.
Our first job is an honest read of what you actually have. Sometimes the framing is sound and the fix is a new composite surface and railing over it; sometimes the footings have moved too far and the right answer is a full rebuild. We tell you which, rather than resurfacing a deck whose structure is already past saving.
Austin questions
It depends on the frame. If the footings, posts, and joists are sound, resurfacing with new decking and railing is a strong value; if Central Texas soil movement or rot has compromised the structure, a new surface only hides the problem. We inspect the framing first and tell you honestly which one your deck needs.
Usually footings. A post footing set too shallow follows the expansive clay as it heaves and shrinks, which racks the frame and loosens connections over the years. A rebuild sets footings deep enough to stay put, which is why a replacement often feels far more solid than the deck it replaced.
Often yes, particularly if the footprint, height, or structure changes rather than just the boards. We confirm what the City of Austin or your county requires for the scope of work and pull the permit when it applies, so a replacement is inspected and above board.
