Existing Deck Condition (Before)

The original deck showed visible wear:

  • Faded and discolored deck boards
  • Surface debris and aging wood texture
  • Outdated railing system
  • High maintenance requirements

The structure itself remained functional, making it a strong candidate for re-decking.

Scope of Work

BigDeck.com completed a surface and railing upgrade:

  • Removal of existing decking and railing
  • Retention of structural framing and footings
  • Installation of TimberTech composite decking
  • Installation of Westbury aluminum railing
  • Rebuild of stair system to match new materials

Permits were pulled and the project passed inspection.

Completed Deck Installation (After)

The upgraded deck provides:

  • Low-maintenance composite decking surface
  • Durable aluminum railing system
  • Modernized appearance
  • Improved long-term performance

Build Specifications

  • Deck Size: ~14’ x 18’ (~250 sq ft)
  • Deck Height: ~9–10 feet above grade
  • Stair System: Rebuilt to match updated materials
  • Decking: TimberTech composite
  • Railing: Westbury aluminum
  • Framing: Existing structure retained
  • Footings: Existing footings reused

Structural Considerations

Because the structure was reused, the project required:

  • Verification of framing integrity
  • Confirmation of footing performance
  • Code-compliant railing and stair updates

Re-decking is only appropriate when the existing structure is still sound.

Project Cost

Based on similar re-deck projects in the Twin Cities:

  • Estimated Cost Range: $12,000 – $22,000+

Re-decking provides a cost-efficient alternative to full replacement.

Timeline

Projects of this scope are typically completed within 2–3 days, depending on conditions.

Outcome

This project delivered:

  • Reduced maintenance requirements
  • Improved durability
  • Updated appearance
  • Extended deck lifespan

Why Re-Decking Was the Right Approach

In Burnsville, re-decking is a viable option when:

  • The structure remains sound
  • The primary issue is surface wear
  • The homeowner wants a cost-effective upgrade
