When it comes to your deck, remember:
Cosmetic issues = Refresh
Structural concerns = Rebuild
If your deck boards are looking faded, grey, or weathered but are still hard and intact, or if you notice minor splintering, peeling stain, or flaking sealant, these are signs that a REFRESH would be a good choice.
A REBUILD would be suggested if the wood feels soft/spongy, if the deck wobbles or sags, if you’re seeing rot in the joists, beams, posts, or ledger board, or if the hardware underneath isn’t holding up the way it should.
