Deck Extensions & Re-Decking in Vermont

New Life for Your Old Deck

The Benefits of Re-Decking & Extensions

Not every aging deck needs to be torn down. If your framing is still solid, re-decking gives you a clean, safe surface without the cost of a full rebuild. And if your deck feels too small, a well-designed extension can double its functionality. We inspect your substructure, reinforce where needed, and replace surface boards, railings, or stairs with modern materials. Whether it’s wood or composite, the upgrade is fast, cost-effective, and built to last in Vermont’s challenging climate.

Smart Upgrades, Built Strong

What’s Included in Our Re-Decking & Extension Services

Every deck is different, and so is every upgrade. We start by evaluating your existing posts, beams, and joists for structural integrity. For re-decking, we remove old boards, tighten hardware, and lay new surface materials with modern fasteners. For extensions, we match elevations, add framing, and blend materials for a seamless look. Railings, stairs, and fascia are also upgraded as needed. The result is a safer, stronger, and better-looking deck—all without starting from zero.

  • Full surface board replacement in wood or composite

  • Seamless deck extensions built to match existing structure

  • Upgrades to railing systems, stairs, and trim

Built for Vermont Conditions

Engineered for Longevity in Tough Weather

Vermont winters and wet springs are hard on outdoor structures. That’s why our re-decking and extensions include moisture barriers, upgraded flashing, and stainless or coated fasteners to prevent long-term issues. We also assess footings and beam connections to ensure your expanded or resurfaced deck holds up under snow load and freeze-thaw movement. Whether you’re switching to composite or keeping natural wood, we install with climate-resilient practices you can trust.

Thoughtful Design That Blends

Extensions That Match Style and Structure

When extending your deck, we don’t just tack on extra boards. We ensure the new addition aligns with your existing layout, railing design, and home architecture. Our team works with your current materials—or helps you upgrade them—for a seamless look. Transitions are carefully planned, elevations are leveled, and framing is reinforced for stability. Whether you want a wider lounging area, a new grilling zone, or stairs down to a patio, we design with both function and aesthetics in mind.

Our Process Keeps It Simple

From Inspection to Upgrade, We Handle It All

We start with a detailed inspection of your existing deck to determine if re-decking or expansion makes sense structurally. If it does, we create a plan for materials, layout, and budget. Once approved, we handle demo, framing, install, and finishing—plus cleanup and optional staining. Most projects are completed in a few days. We’ll walk you through every step and make sure your new space looks great, feels solid, and meets all Vermont building codes.

Deck Extension & Re-Decking FAQs

Before you decide to rebuild, learn what deck extensions and re-decking really involve. Here are the most common questions we answer.

Question 1: How do I know if my deck can be re-decked?

If the frame is still in good shape, we can often reuse it. We perform a full inspection to verify it meets safety and code standards.

Question 2: Will the new boards match my old ones?

Yes. We offer color-matching and layout options. If you're switching to composite, we can create a cohesive design with new railings and trim.

Question 3: Can I add to an old deck?

Absolutely. We blend new framing into the existing structure and reinforce as needed to meet today’s codes.

Question 4: Do I need a permit for deck extensions?

Most Vermont towns require permits for structural changes. We handle permitting and ensure your deck complies with local regulations.
