This is what deck resurfacing looks like in real life. Same frame, same joists — completely new composite surface. The homeowner had been living with a splintering, faded wood deck for years. Instead of a full tear-down, we stripped the old boards and replaced them with low-maintenance composite decking in just a few days.

Our Process

• Inspection: We assess your existing frame, joists, and posts to confirm the structure is sound before any work begins.
• Material Selection: We help you choose the right composite board — color, texture, and brand — to match your home and budget.
• Demolition: Old boards are removed carefully, and any minor structural issues are addressed before new decking goes down.
• Installation: New composite boards are installed to manufacturer specs — clean, tight, and built to last decades without maintenance.

A lot of homeowners assume that when their deck starts looking rough — boards cracking, wood fading, splinters everywhere — the only option is to tear it all down and start over. That's not always true, and it's often not the best use of your money.

If your deck's frame, joists, and posts are still structurally solid, you're sitting on a great foundation. All you really need is a surface upgrade. We strip off the old worn-out wood boards and replace them with low-maintenance composite decking on your existing frame — giving you a deck that looks completely brand new at a fraction of the cost of a full replacement.

We start every resurfacing project with a thorough inspection of your existing structure. If the bones are good, we get to work. We'll help you choose from top composite brands like Trex, TimberTech, and Deckorators — materials that are built to handle the Pacific Northwest climate without the yearly maintenance that wood demands.

Sometimes a deck needs more than new boards. Wobbly railings, sagging joists, rotted posts, cracked ledger boards — these are structural issues that need to be addressed before anything else. Left untreated, they become safety hazards and get significantly more expensive to fix down the road.

Fresh View Construction handles full deck repairs throughout Tacoma and Pierce County. We inspect the entire structure — from the ledger connection to your house all the way down to the footings — and give you an honest assessment of what needs to be fixed and what can be saved. No upselling, no unnecessary work. Just straight talk and quality repairs that make your deck safe and solid again.

Whether it's replacing a few rotted boards, rebuilding a railing system, sistering damaged joists, or repairing a failing connection point, our team handles it all. We know decks inside and out — and we take pride in doing the job right the first time.

Once your deck is repaired or resurfaced, the final step is making sure it stays that way. For wood decks, that means proper cleaning, staining, and sealing to lock in the wood's natural beauty and protect it from moisture, UV damage, and everyday wear. A well-sealed wood deck not only looks great — it lasts significantly longer.

If you went the composite route, maintenance is minimal — but a good clean goes a long way. Our team offers professional deck cleaning and power washing services that remove mold, mildew, dirt, and debris that build up over time, especially in the wet Pacific Northwest climate. Composite or wood, we'll leave your deck looking sharp and ready to use.

From the first inspection to the final rinse, Fresh View Construction handles every step of the deck repair and resurfacing process. We're not just here to fix your deck — we're here to make sure you actually love being out there again.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is deck resurfacing?

  Deck resurfacing is the process of applying a new surface to an existing deck to restore its appearance and functionality. It involves removing the old decking material, repairing any damage, and applying new composite or wood boards over the existing structure — saving you the cost of a full replacement.

• Why should I consider deck resurfacing instead of a full replacement?

  Deck resurfacing is a cost-effective way to update and improve the appearance and functionality of an existing deck without replacing the entire structure. If your joists and frame are still in good shape, resurfacing with composite boards can extend the life of your deck by decades — while eliminating the yearly maintenance that wood requires. It can also increase your home's value and provide a safer, more attractive surface.

• What is composite decking made of?

  Composite decking is typically made of a combination of recycled wood fibers and plastic materials — often recycled high-density polyethylene or PVC. These materials are mixed together with additives and pigments to create a durable, weather-resistant product that mimics the look of wood while offering increased durability, resistance to rot and insects, and dramatically reduced maintenance requirements.

• What does deck or patio repair entail?

  The process varies based on the type of deck and nature of the damage. Repairing a warped board is very different from replacing a footing or rebuilding a railing system. Regardless of your deck's condition, Fresh View Construction always starts with a thorough inspection — we'll walk you through exactly what needs to be done and give you the information to make the best decision for your budget.

• What are the most common deck repairs?

  The most common repairs involve wood boards and fasteners. As wood ages and is exposed to the Pacific Northwest elements, boards warp, crack, and splinter — and fasteners loosen, allowing moisture in. Common repairs we handle include:
  
  — Board replacement
  — Railing replacement
  — Grading and drainage repairs
  — Footing installation and repairs
  — Stair replacement and repair
  — Joist sistering and structural reinforcement

• Is repairing a deck expensive?

  Many factors affect repair costs — the extent of damage, type of construction, materials, deck size, permitting, and even the weather. No matter what kind of damage or deck you have, Fresh View Construction can help you choose the solution that works best for your situation and budget. Whether you decide to repair, resurface, or replace your deck, we'll give you an honest assessment and a fair quote.

• Do I need a permit for deck repairs in Pierce County?

  Minor repairs like replacing a few boards typically don't require a permit. However, structural repairs, full resurfacing projects, or anything that changes the footprint or load-bearing elements of your deck usually does. Fresh View Construction handles the entire permitting process when required — we submit all plans and manage approvals so you don't have to worry about it.

• Do you offer a warranty on deck repair work?

  Yes! We provide a Lifetime Workmanship Warranty covering any defects in installation or fabrication for as long as you own your home. Material warranties are provided by the manufacturer.
  
  Not covered: natural wood changes, knots, splits, damage from misuse, accidents, other trades, or severe weather. Wood is a natural material and will age over time.

• Can you provide examples of your deck repair work?

  Absolutely! Check out our project gallery to see completed deck repair and resurfacing projects. References are also available upon request.
