Some decks need new boards; others need a new structure. Here is how the decision usually breaks down for Hampton Roads homeowners.
Where the problem lives matters
Wear on deck boards is often a surface problem: replace the boards and the deck serves for years more. Wear in posts, beams, or the ledger is structural and changes the math.
A professional assessment looks at framing first, then surface. If the structure is sound, repair is usually the honest answer.
Ask these questions before deciding
How widespread is the wear? A few boards are a repair; a deck where every surface shows damage may cost little more to rebuild than to patch.
Has the deck been altered over the years? Layers of past work complicate repairs. And if you are planning other projects, sequencing repair against replacement can save work later.
