If you’ve noticed your exterior deck looking a little dilapidated, your first thought may be to replace it. In many cases, however, a deck that looks to be in poor condition can actually be refurbished, repaired and/or remodeled. While some contractors will agree to replace a deck regardless of whether it’s warranted, a good contractor will offer the option of refurbishing your existing deck to save you the expense of a full replacement.

Getting your old deck refurbished doesn’t mean it has to look refurbished; rather, a skilled contractor can utilize numerous measures to bring your deck back to like-new condition. For example, simple steps like refinishing and resealing can instill new life into old deck boards. Another economic alternative is to replace only the most dilapidated boards and leave those that are still in good condition. Also, a contractor can give your existing deck a new look by adding a modern style of railing.
