What Affects the Scope
Footings, framing, building connections, stairs and guards all affect the scope. Worn boards alone do not show whether the structure is sound. Repair or surface replacement needs a review of the supporting components and any concealed conditions that remain unresolved.
What to share
- Proposed size and use
- Height
- Photos
- Existing deck condition
- Preferred materials
- Survey and access information
Can only the deck boards be replaced?
Sometimes, but the framing, connections, footings, stairs, guards, drainage, and signs of decay must
support that scope. Surface replacement should not hide structural concerns.
Share the proposed size, use, site conditions, and existing structure if one is present.
