How a replacement goes
Two-story house with wooden fence, the kind of home where we inspect the ledger first
( 01 )We check the ledger, posts, joists and footings before we talk about boards. Rot usually starts where the deck meets the house.
Bare wooden framing under construction with crew on top
( 02 )If the frame is sound, we strip the boards and rail and resurface. If it is not, the whole deck comes out and goes to the dump.

( 03 )New footings where needed, treated framing, a flashed ledger, and composite or cedar on top. Permitted if the size or height needs it.
Repair or replace

We will tell you which, in writing.

Not every tired deck needs to go. Sound framing with worn boards can be resurfaced for far less than a rebuild. A rotted ledger, sunk posts or joists you can push a screwdriver into mean a rebuild, and we will say so.

Either way you get a written price. Replacement decks that meet the Lake Stevens permit triggers get a permit like a new deck would.

Deck replacement questions

How do I know if my deck needs replacing or just repair?

Push a screwdriver into the ledger, posts and joists. If it sinks in, or the ledger has pulled from the house, that is a rebuild. Worn boards on a sound frame can be resurfaced. We check all of it at the free estimate and put the answer in writing.

Does a deck replacement need a permit in Lake Stevens?

If the new deck is 200 sq ft or more, 30 inches or more above grade, attached to the house, or serves the exit door, yes, the same as a new build. We handle it.

Can I switch from cedar to composite when I resurface?

Usually. Composite boards need joists on the spacing the manufacturer calls for, so we check the frame first and add blocking or joists if needed.

Do you take away the old deck?

Yes. Tear-out and disposal are included as a line on the written price.
