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.
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
