Deck Replacement & Rebuilds

When Replacement Makes Sense

Not every deck can be saved with repairs. If your deck has widespread rot, major structural damage, or outdated construction, replacement is often the smarter choice. At BlueCrest Poinciana Decks, we give you an honest assessment. We will never try to sell you a replacement if a simple repair will do. But when replacement is the right call, we make sure you understand why.

One of the biggest reasons homeowners replace their decks is safety. If the structural frame is compromised, no amount of surface-level repairs will fix it. A weak frame can lead to dangerous collapses, especially if you have a lot of people on the deck at once. If we find serious issues with the joists, beams, or ledger board, we will recommend a full replacement to keep you and your family safe.

Another reason to replace your deck is if it no longer meets your needs. Maybe your family has grown, and you need more space. Maybe you want to add features like built-in seating, a pergola, or better stairs. A deck replacement gives you the chance to redesign your outdoor space from the ground up. You can choose new materials, a new layout, and new features that match your lifestyle.

Signs You Need a Deck Replacement:

• More than 30 percent of the deck is damaged or rotting
• The frame or support posts are structurally compromised
• The ledger board is pulling away from the house
• The deck is more than 20 years old and was not built to current codes
• You want to expand the size or change the layout
• The deck is sagging or uneven in multiple places

Our Replacement Process

Replacing a deck is a big project, but we make it as smooth and stress-free as possible. We start by inspecting your current deck and discussing your goals. Do you want to keep the same size, or do you want to expand? Are you happy with the current layout, or do you want to change it? Do you want to upgrade to composite, or stick with wood? We help you think through all of these decisions.

Once you have a plan, we tear out your old deck. We remove all the old boards, railings, and structural framing. We also haul away the debris, so you do not have to worry about a mess in your yard. If the old footings are still in good shape, we can sometimes reuse them. Otherwise, we pour new concrete footings to support your new deck.

Next, we build the frame using pressure-treated lumber. This is the backbone of your deck, and we take our time to make sure it is level, square, and built to code. We install the joists, beams, and ledger board, making sure everything is properly attached and supported. We also add blocking and bracing where needed to make the structure as strong as possible.

Once the frame is complete, we install the decking, railings, and stairs. You can choose from wood, composite, or PVC decking, depending on your budget and preferences. We also handle deck railings and safety upgrades to make sure your new deck meets all safety standards. By the time we are done, you will have a brand new deck that looks amazing and lasts for decades.

Choosing New Materials

One of the best parts of a deck replacement is getting to choose new materials. If your old deck was made of pressure-treated wood, you might want to upgrade to composite this time around. Composite decks require almost no maintenance and last much longer than wood. On the other hand, if you love the look of natural wood, you can stick with it and just build a better version of what you had before.

We offer a full range of decking materials, including pressure-treated wood, cedar, composite, and PVC. Each material has its own pros and cons, and we help you pick the one that fits your budget and lifestyle. If you are not sure what to choose, we can show you samples and explain the differences. You can also check out our composite deck installation and wood deck installation pages for more details.

In addition to decking, you also get to choose new railings and stairs. Modern railing systems come in a variety of styles, from classic wood balusters to sleek metal cable railings. You can also add features like built-in lighting, bench seating, or decorative post caps. A deck replacement is your chance to create the outdoor space you have always wanted.

We also build custom features like pergolas, privacy screens, and outdoor kitchens. If you want to take your new deck to the next level, we can design and install these extras as part of your rebuild. The sky is the limit when it comes to customization.

Costs and Value

A deck replacement is an investment, but it is one that pays off in multiple ways. First, you get a safer, more functional outdoor space. Second, a new deck can increase your home value. Buyers love a well-built deck, especially in Florida where outdoor living is so important. Third, a new deck saves you money on maintenance and repairs over the long run.

The cost of a deck replacement depends on the size, materials, and features you choose. A basic wood deck costs less than a high-end composite deck with custom railings and built-in seating. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from a few thousand dollars for a small, simple deck to tens of thousands for a large, elaborate build. We give you a detailed quote upfront, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

It is also worth comparing the cost of replacement to ongoing repairs. If you have been spending hundreds or thousands of dollars every few years to keep your old deck going, replacement might actually save you money in the long run. A new deck comes with a warranty, so you do not have to worry about costly repairs for many years.

We also offer financing options to make your deck replacement more affordable. Instead of paying everything upfront, you can spread the cost over time with a payment plan that fits your budget. Ask us about financing when you request your quote.
