- Can my original Bow deck be saved, or is it a rebuild?
- It depends on what’s under the boards. Decks from Bow’s 80s-2000s build-out often have sound framing but worn decking and railings — in that case, re-decking in composite over the existing structure saves real money. The disqualifiers are undersized or shallow footings, corroded fasteners, and an unflashed ledger, because decking over those just postpones a failure. The structural read is part of the free estimate, with photos of whatever we find.
- What do Bow families typically add when replacing a builder-minimum deck?
- Space and program, mostly: room zoned for a table and a sitting area instead of a grill-only platform, stairs placed for how the yard actually gets used, and low-maintenance composite so weekends go to using the deck instead of sealing it. Railing upgrades — aluminum or cable in place of bulky wood — open up the yard visually. All of it is designed at the consultation and priced line by line in the written estimate.
