When Repair Is Enough

When Replacement Makes More Sense
Sometimes, repairing an old deck is like patching an old tire - it works for a while, it won’t hold forever, and it's a terrifying ride. If the foundation or support beams of your deck are compromised, or if there’s widespread rot, then the safest and most practical option is usually a deck replacement.
In fact, many homeowners choose this moment to upgrade their deck design by expanding the layout, adding built-in seating, or switching to low-maintenance composite materials.
In many ways, a deck replacement in Carrollton can be more affordable that a repair. Consider the cost of recurring repairs, the frustration of dealing with issues over and over again, and the safety risks. Compare that with a new replacement's extended warranty, new style, and more assured safety.
