- Can you replace just the boards on my aging Belmont deck, or does the whole thing go?
- It depends on what’s under the boards, and we’ll tell you honestly after looking. If the frame is sound, footings are adequate, and the ledger is properly attached and flashed, re-decking and re-railing — often in composite — saves real money. But many 80s-90s decks hide undersized footings, corroded fasteners, or an unflashed ledger, and decking over those problems just delays the failure. The structural assessment is part of the free estimate.
- Pressure-treated or composite for a Belmont replacement?
- Pressure-treated pine is the budget-friendly build and we do plenty of them — expect cleaning and resealing every year or two to keep NH’s freeze-thaw from checking and graying it. Composite (Trex, Fiberon, TimberTech) costs more up front and then mostly leaves you alone: no rot, no splinters, a wash now and then. If you’re replacing a deck that wore out once already, most Belmont homeowners choose composite the second time. We’ll price both so it’s your call.
