Deck Replacement & Rebuilds
Replace your old, unsafe deck with a brand new structure built to modern standards that will serve your family for decades.
When Replacement Makes Sense
Sometimes a deck is beyond repair. Widespread structural damage, extensive rot, or outdated construction that does not meet current safety codes often means replacement is the smart choice. If your deck sways when you walk on it, has major sagging areas, or shows rot in multiple joists and posts, repairs become a band-aid on a bigger problem. Starting fresh gives you a safe, code-compliant deck built with modern materials and techniques.
Deck replacement also makes sense when you want to change the size, layout, or features. Maybe your family has grown and you need more space. Maybe you want a multi-level design instead of a single flat deck. Maybe you want to switch from wood to composite materials. These changes are best done with a complete rebuild rather than trying to modify an existing structure. Our Paradise deck building team handles deck replacements daily and makes the process straightforward and stress-free.
Many older decks in Paradise were built before current codes took effect. They may lack proper flashing, have inadequate footings, or use fasteners that have corroded in our climate. While these decks served well for years, they do not meet modern standards for safety and durability. Replacing your old deck brings everything up to code and incorporates better building practices we have learned over the decades. The result is a deck that performs better and lasts longer than your old one ever could.
Our Replacement Process
We start every deck replacement with careful planning. During our site visit, we assess your existing deck, take measurements, discuss what you want in your new deck, and identify any challenges. We talk through material options, design possibilities, and your budget. You get a detailed quote that breaks down all costs so there are no surprises later.
Once you approve the plan, we handle all permits and inspections. Then we schedule demolition of your old deck. We work efficiently to minimize the time your home is without a deck. Most demolition takes just one to two days. We haul away all debris and leave your yard clean. Then we build your new deck using quality materials and proven construction methods. Most residential deck replacements take one to three weeks from demolition to final walkthrough.

When replacing your deck, you can choose any material you want. Many homeowners upgrade from wood to low-maintenance composite decking. Others prefer the natural beauty of quality wood species like cedar or redwood. We explain the pros and cons of each option and help you choose what fits your lifestyle and budget. This is also a great time to add features like built-in seating, lighting, or pergola structures.
Design Opportunities
Replacing your deck gives you a blank canvas to create exactly what you want. You are not limited by the old deck's footprint or layout. Want to make it bigger or smaller? Add multiple levels? Include built-in planters or benches? Change the stair location? All these options are on the table when building new.
Modern railing options have come a long way in recent years. Glass panels create unobstructed views. Cable railings offer a contemporary look. Traditional wood or composite railings come in countless styles and colors. We can incorporate different railing types in different areas to create visual interest. Lighting integrated into railings, stairs, or deck posts adds safety and ambiance for evening use.
Think about how you will use your deck and design accordingly. Do you entertain large groups? A larger, single-level deck with plenty of open space works well. Prefer intimate outdoor dining? A smaller elevated deck might be perfect. Need both? A multi-level design separates cooking and dining areas from lounging space. We help you think through these questions and design a deck that matches your lifestyle and your home's architecture.
Investment and Value
Deck replacement is a significant investment, but it delivers real value. A new deck increases your home's market value and appeal to potential buyers. It expands your usable living space and creates an outdoor room for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying Paradise weather. Most importantly, it provides safety and peace of mind knowing your family and guests are not at risk from a failing structure.
The cost of deck replacement varies based on size, materials, features, and site conditions. We provide detailed quotes that help you understand where your money goes. We also offer different material and feature options at various price points. This lets you adjust the scope to match your budget while still getting a quality deck you will love. Many homeowners find that investing in better materials and construction now saves money over the long run through lower maintenance and longer lifespan.
