Sometimes starting fresh is the smartest choice. Get a brand new deck that is safer, more functional, and built to last.
Your old deck served you well, but nothing lasts forever. Maybe the wood is rotting in multiple places, the structure feels unsafe, or the design just doesn't work for how you want to use your outdoor space anymore. Whatever the reason, replacing your deck opens up exciting possibilities.
A deck replacement is not just about swapping old boards for new ones. It is your chance to rethink the entire space. Want to make it bigger? Add built-in seating? Switch to low-maintenance materials? Create multiple levels? Now is the time to do it right.
We have replaced countless decks throughout Albany, from small backyard platforms to large multi-level entertainment spaces. Each project starts with understanding what worked with your old deck and what you want to improve. Then we design and build something better.
How do you know if your deck is past the point of repairs? Here are the telltale signs:
If you are nodding along to several of these, replacement probably makes more sense than ongoing repairs. We offer free consultations where we assess your current deck and discuss your options honestly.
Replacing a deck is a bigger project than repairs, but it moves quickly with experienced builders. We handle everything from removing the old deck to building the new one, including permits and inspections.
We start by discussing your vision for the new deck. How do you plan to use it? How many people do you typically entertain? Do you want space for furniture, a grill, or other features? What is your budget?
Then we measure your space and create a design that works with your home's layout and your yard's characteristics. We will show you material options, from traditional wood decking to modern composite materials. You will see exactly what your new deck will look like before we start building.
We carefully remove your old deck, being mindful of your landscaping and home. The debris gets hauled away, not left sitting in your yard. We also inspect the area where the deck attached to your house to check for any damage that needs repair before the new deck goes up.
Now the fun part begins. We build your new deck to current building codes with proper materials and techniques. This includes concrete footings below the frost line, pressure-treated framing, proper flashing where it meets your house, and quality decking boards installed correctly.
Your new deck will be stronger and safer than what you had before. Modern building standards require better connections, more support, and improved details that prevent rot and extend the deck's life.
One of the best parts of a deck replacement is the opportunity to fix what didn't work before. Common improvements we make include:
Adding more space for furniture and movement. Many older decks are too small for comfortable entertaining. We can often expand within your property lines to create a more functional area.
Improving traffic flow with better stair placement. If your old stairs were in an awkward spot or felt steep, we can redesign them for easier, safer access.
Creating distinct zones for dining, lounging, and cooking. Multiple levels or partial walls can define different areas without feeling cramped.
Upgrading to better materials that require less maintenance. Many homeowners switching from wood to composite decking when they replace their deck, and they love not having to stain and seal every few years.

Most deck replacements take two to three weeks from demolition to completion. We keep you informed throughout the process, maintain a clean work site, and deliver a finished deck you will love using for years to come.
