Benefits of Redecking

Cost-Effective: Redecking is generally more affordable than building a new deck from scratch.
Time-Saving: The process is quicker, allowing you to enjoy your new deck sooner.
Eco-Friendly: By reusing the existing structure, you reduce waste and the need for new materials.
Customization: Choose from a variety of materials and finishes to match your style.

Redecking vs. New Deck

While both redecking and building a new deck have their advantages, the choice depends on your specific needs and the condition of your current deck. Redecking is ideal if the underlying structure is still sound, whereas a new deck may be necessary if there are significant structural issues.

Redecking Materials

When planning a redecking project, selecting the appropriate materials is key to achieving long-lasting results. Archadeck of Central Iowa provides a variety of high-quality options to suit every need. Choose from pressure-treated wood, which combines affordability with durability, making it perfect for those on a budget. Cedar offers natural resistance to rot and insects, along with a stunning, organic appearance. For minimal maintenance and durability in various colors and textures, composite decking is an excellent choice. For a luxurious finish, consider exotic hardwoods like Ipe and Mahogany, renowned for their durability and distinctive beauty.

Redecking Process

With redecking, we follow the same Consult, Design, Build approach we use on all our projects:

Consult: We meet at your home, inspect the existing structure, and discuss what you're hoping to achieve. If redecking isn't the right answer, we'll tell you. With that in mind, when it comes to redecking, a big part of the consult process is spent on structural integrity.
Design: We help you select materials and plan any upgrades or modifications. You'll know exactly what you're getting before work begins.
Build: Our crews handle the installation with minimal disruption. Most redecking projects are completed in one to two weeks.

Redecking & Customization

Redecking is a natural time to make other upgrades. Since we're already working on the deck, adding features is more efficient than doing them separately

New railings (composite, aluminum, cable)
Drink rails for entertaining
Built-in lighting
Planters or bench seating
Updated stairs

If you've been thinking about any of these, bundling them with a redecking project usually makes more sense than tackling them later.

Commonly Asked Questions

How do I know if my deck is suitable for redecking?

To determine if your deck is suitable for redecking, the underlying structure must be in good condition. This includes checking for any signs of rot, decay, or structural damage.

During the consultation phase, our team at Archadeck of Central Iowa will conduct a thorough inspection to assess the condition of your deck and recommend the best course of action.

How long does a typical redecking project take to complete?

The timeline for a redecking project can vary based on the size and complexity of the deck. Generally, most redecking projects can be completed within 1 to 2 weeks. During the consultation phase, we provide a detailed timeline to keep you informed every step of the way. Our goal is to complete the project efficiently while ensuring high-quality workmanship and minimal disruption to your daily life.
