Should I Repair or Rebuild my Deck?

Should I Repair or Rebuild my Deck?

May 14, 2020

Do you have a deck at home that you want to revamp? Trying to decide if it is worth fixing or if you should just rebuild it all together? Sometimes there is so much to be done, that it would make more sense to rebuild. Trying to make the right decision can be hard. Especially, when you are not familiar with all that goes into it. 

Hiring someone to come and look at the project might be a good idea. That way you have an opinion from a professional to give you your options. The staff at Cavalier Builders is trained and educated in making these helpful insights. 

Repairing Isn’t Always Cheaper

When you are making the decision to repair your deck you have a lot to consider. It may seem like the most cost effective thing is to just repair what needs fixed. That isn’t always the case though. These are just some of the questions you need to ask yourself:

  • How old is it? 
  • How much needs to be done? 
  • What shape are the boards in?
  • What is the cost of everything?
  • If hiring, what is the cost of labor?

When you are evaluating everything, the cost may add up pretty quickly. It may start growing to just as much as it would be to rebuild. At that point, you may want to consider rebuilding the whole thing. 

The age of the deck will play a big role in what you decide to do. Even though the things seem simple to fix, the things you have to replace due to being outdated can add up very fast. Asking a professional for some help to make the right decision will help ease your mind. 

Making The Decision To Rebuild My Deck

If you have evaluated your deck and decided that rebuilding it is the best option for you. Now, you need to think about if you are going with the same layout, or changing things up. Going with the same layout would be the easiest option.

Since you are starting over though, this gives you the opportunity to change a few things. It never fails that when you build something, you begin to think about all the things you would have done differently. The stuff you would have changed if you had the ability to.

Do some research and find a reputable builder. They will be able to help you with all of your questions. They will also give advice on the best way to accomplish your wishes. 

Helping The Aesthetics of Your Deck

To finish the look of your new deck in your yard, laying new grass and sod will make everything look fresh and new. All the work being done, has a good chance of messing up the grass. This way everything will look fresh and clean when you’re finished. Just make sure you have a level surface to put it down.

You can then go around and add some flowers or shrubs. During the spring, summer and fall. The outside areas of our home become where we love to hang out. By adding a little something pretty to look at, will make you enjoy it that much more.
