What we call “Redecking”, is basically removing all the old floorboards, railings and steps, replacing them with new, low-maintenance products. This is a great, cost effective and low impact way to upgrade your outdoor space.
Fall and winter are perfect to have your deck redone for lots of reasons. Here are the top 5:

The windows and doors of your home will all be closed up, so the noise our deck builders make will not be a problem.
The kids will be playing inside, so you won’t have to worry about keeping them away from the construction area.
