Why do old decks become unsafe?
Usually a failing ledger connection or rotted framing hidden under sound-looking boards. When we remodel a deck we evaluate the structure, not just the surface.

Deck Building & Remodeling
A deck is structure first and surface second. The boards you walk on matter, but the framing, footings, and the connection to the house are what keep a deck safe for decades.
We build and rebuild decks with correct footings, code-compliant framing and railings, and proper flashing where the deck meets the house — the ledger connection that, done wrong, is the most common cause of deck failure.
For the surface, we work in hardwoods, cedar, and low-maintenance composites, and we detail railings and stairs to suit the architecture and the view.

Do decks require permits?
Most decks above a certain height or attached to the house require permits. We handle the drawings and approvals where needed.
