Why Remodel or Resurface Your Deck?

Upgrading your deck goes beyond aesthetics—it’s about creating a safe, functional, and inviting space for outdoor living. Deck remodeling and resurfacing offer unique benefits depending on your deck’s condition and your goals:

• Enhanced Safety: Address worn boards, loose railings, and other hazards to ensure your deck is safe for your family and guests.
• Increased Home Value: A beautifully updated deck boosts curb appeal and property value, making it an excellent investment.
• Improved Outdoor Experience: Whether you’re entertaining friends or enjoying a quiet evening, an updated deck creates a more enjoyable atmosphere.

When to Choose Remodeling vs. Resurfacing

Every deck requires a different approach to bring it back to life. Whether you need remodeling or resurfacing depends on the deck’s current condition and your long-term goals.

• Deck Remodeling: Choose remodeling when your deck has major structural issues or no longer suits your needs. It’s perfect for replacing framing, adding new features, or redesigning the layout to match your lifestyle.
• Deck Resurfacing: Opt for resurfacing when the frame is solid but the boards or railings are worn out. This approach gives your deck a fresh appearance without the expense of starting from scratch.
• Focused Services: Decks By Murray handles full remodeling and resurfacing projects to provide lasting results. During a consultation, we’ll determine the best solution to meet your needs and ensure your deck is safe and beautiful.

Signs You Need Deck Resurfacing

Knowing when to resurface your deck can save you time and money while keeping your outdoor space safe and attractive. These common signs indicate that resurfacing may be the right choice for your deck.

• Worn or Splintered Boards: Boards that feel rough, splintered, or excessively weathered need replacement for safety and comfort. Resurfacing removes these issues while preserving the solid frame underneath.
• Fading or Staining: Discoloration and stubborn stains from weather or spills can make your deck look old and uninviting. New boards and finishes restore the deck’s visual appeal.
• Minor Structural Wear: Small cracks or gaps in boards or railings can compromise the deck’s usability. Resurfacing addresses these issues without requiring a complete rebuild.
• Outdated Appearance: A dated or mismatched look can diminish the charm of your outdoor space. Resurfacing lets you choose updated materials and styles for a modern and cohesive design.

Decking Materials Options for Your Remodeling or Resurfacing Project

The right materials can make a significant difference in the durability and appearance of your deck project. Decks By Murray offers a variety of options, from natural wood to cutting-edge composite deck materials, to ensure your deck suits your needs and style.

• Composite Decking: Choose from top manufacturers like Trex, TimberTech/AZEK, Fiberon, and Deckorators for a surface that’s low-maintenance, fade-resistant, and eco-friendly. Composite decking is ideal for homeowners who want lasting beauty with minimal upkeep.
• Pressure-Treated Lumber: A cost-effective choice, pressure-treated wood resists moisture, rot, and insects. It’s a durable option for budget-conscious deck construction projects.
• Cedar and Redwood: Naturally resistant to decay and insects, these woods offer timeless charm and a warm appearance. Both are excellent choices for outdoor decks that balance beauty and functionality.
• Exotic Hardwoods: Premium woods like ipe and mahogany provide unmatched strength and luxurious appeal. These decking boards require minimal maintenance and are perfect for high-end deck remodeling projects.
