Deck Remodeling Options
Surface Upgrade (Wood to Composite)
Keep your existing frame and replace only the decking surface with low-maintenance composite boards. A fraction of the cost of full replacement with massive visual impact.
Layout Changes & Redesign
Reconfigure your deck's shape, add bump-outs, change traffic flow, or redesign stairs. We work with your existing footprint or expand it.
Size Expansion
Extend an undersized deck to give you the outdoor space you've always wanted. We match existing materials or create a seamless composite integration.
Adding Levels
Convert a single-level deck into a multi-level entertaining space with defined zones for dining, lounging, and grilling.
Covered Areas & Pergolas
Add a pergola, shade sail, or full covered roof section to create a comfortable outdoor room that's usable in rain and harsh sun.
Built-In Features
Integrate built-in benches, planters, storage, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, or bar areas that make your deck work harder and look better.

Deck Remodeling FAQs
How much does deck remodeling cost?
Deck remodeling costs in Lehigh Valley PA vary widely by scope. A surface resurfacing (replacing wood boards with composite) typically costs $8,000–$20,000 for a 400 sq ft deck. Adding a level or significant layout changes adds $5,000–$15,000. Railing upgrades run $3,000–$8,000 depending on material. We provide detailed, itemized estimates so you know exactly what you're getting.
Can I change my deck layout during a remodel?
Absolutely. Deck remodeling is the perfect time to rethink your layout. We commonly redesign stair placement, add bump-outs, reconfigure zones for dining vs. lounging, and change the shape of the perimeter. Some layout changes require new footings and permits, which we handle on your behalf.
Can I convert my wood deck to composite without full replacement?
In many cases, yes — if your existing frame (joists, beams, posts, and ledger board) passes a structural inspection, we can remove the old wood surface and install new composite decking on the existing skeleton. This saves significant money over a full rebuild. We always perform a thorough structural assessment before recommending the resurfacing approach.
How long does deck remodeling take?
Most deck remodeling projects take 3–10 days depending on scope. A straightforward resurfacing can be completed in 2–4 days. A full layout redesign with expansion, new levels, railings, and built-in features may take 1–3 weeks. We provide a project timeline during your free consultation so you can plan accordingly.
