Sometimes, a great deck doesn’t need to be rebuilt – it just needs a refresh.

If the existing framing is structurally sound, deck resurfacing can be a cost-effective way to upgrade your outdoor space. By replacing worn wood deck boards with low-maintenance composite or PVC decking, Cincinnati homeowners can get the look and performance of a new deck while saving on the cost of a full rebuild.

Planning on resurfacing your deck?

What Is Deck Resurfacing?

Deck resurfacing – sometimes called redecking –  involves replacing old deck boards while keeping a structurally sound frame in place. The existing substructure is carefully inspected before new decking is installed. 

This 180 square foot deck in Milford was resurfaced with Fiberon composite decking in the color ‘Cottage’.

Save Money with Deck Resurfacing

Deck resurfacing can be a more cost-effective option than a full deck re-build. If the posts, beams, joists and connections are still structurally sound, our Cincinnati deck builders may be able to reuse the existing framing and replace only the worn deck boards and finishes. That means less demolition, lower material and labour costs, while still giving your deck a completely new look.

Deck Resurfacing vs. Full Deck Replacement

Not every deck should be resurfaced. Our team of Cincinnati deck builders first inspects the existing structure to determine whether resurfacing, repairs or a complete replacement makes the most sense for your home.

Deck Resurfacing May Be Right If:

  • The framing is structurally sound
  • The foundation is still in good condition
  • The main issue is deteriorating or high-maintenance deck boards
  • You are happy with the existing size and general layout
  • You want to upgrade to composite or PVC while controlling project costs

A Full Rebuild May Be Better If:

  • There is significant rot or structural deterioration
  • Posts, beams or joists are compromised
  • The deck does not meet appropriate structural requirements
  • You want to significantly change the deck’s size, shape or layout
  • The existing structure is not suitable for composite or PVC decking 
Wondering whether your deck can be resurfaced?

Nathan was very easy and pleasant to work with and addressed any questions or concerns we had. The crew was very experienced and detail oriented as well as organized. The rehab of our old deck using new composite decking materials looks great.

Hickory Dickory Decks did an amazing job on our deck! The whole process was super easy — they helped us figure out what would look best in our yard and actually listened to what we wanted. The crew was always on time, worked hard, and cleaned up after themselves, which we really appreciated. The deck turned out even better than we imagined — it’s solid, beautiful, and already our favorite hangout spot. Friends and family keep complimenting it every time they come over. Honestly, if you’re thinking about getting a deck, these are the people to call.
