An existing custom deck — even one that was well-constructed — may just need a repair. Replacing a few rotten boards or refinishing the deck surface can do much to extend the life of your deck and make it a beautiful outdoor living space that you can be proud of. Deck restoration can be a tedious task, especially if there are several layers of old, peeling stain, and if deck boards, and or framing that needs replacing.
As you can see, not all issues are able to be seen. This deck was close to a total collapse. Having a professional survey of your existing deck is a good way to keep your family safe.
