Replacing an entire wood deck with composite decking offers several compelling reasons for homeowners seeking an upgrade in their outdoor spaces. First and foremost, composite decking boasts remarkable durability and longevity compared to traditional wood. It is resistant to rot, decay, and insect damage, ensuring a longer lifespan with minimal maintenance requirements.
Composite materials also offer superior resistance to weathering, fading, and warping, maintaining their appearance and structural integrity over time. Additionally, composite decking is renowned for its eco-friendly attributes, often being made from recycled materials, reducing the demand for virgin wood.
With a wide array of colors and finishes available, composite decking allows homeowners to achieve a customized look without sacrificing performance. Lastly, composite decks offer a splinter-free and safer surface, making them an ideal choice for families and those who prioritize safety in their outdoor spaces.

Common FAQs regarding deck renovation
Is redoing a deck a good investment?
Installing a deck can be a valuable investment for two big reasons. First, it can provide a sense of atmosphere and community for neighborhood get-togethers and family events. It also can provide a sense of privacy and solitude for personal quiet time outdoors. Either way, in some regards it serves to extend the square footage of the home by creating added space. For these reasons alone, a deck is a great investment.
Reason number two: According to Remodeling Magazine’s report on cost vs value new composite decking receives a 62.1% value for resale. This puts it into the Top 10 most valued home improvements. https://www.remodeling.hw.net/cost-vs-value/2022/
What is the best way to restore an old deck?
If the frame of the deck is solid, the best way to restore it is to resurface the deck by replacing all of the old deck boards and railing. Everyone loves the look of new wood. However, burning sun, constant rain, snow and ice wreak havoc on the surface boards of your deck. This leads to warping, splintering, fading, and even bug infestation.
To fight these elements the deck boards need to be stained or painted every couple of years. Sadly, it usually only looks good for a few months before you are out there again putting on another coat.
The best way to restore an old deck is to remove the railing and old surface deck boards, examine the deck frame for rot and repair with treated lumber, then use composite decking material and aluminum railing. This will provide for years of beauty and durability. It will cost a little more upfront, but will be considerably more durable, require less maintenance and look fantastic. This will also increase the overall value of your home and allow you to enjoy it year round.
How much does it cost to refinish a deck with composite material?
There are so many options and grades in composite decking material and railing systems, it is tough to give an exact cost. However, if you want to budget a number, a ballpark amount is around $35 – $65 per square foot of surface.
What is the average cost of rebuilding a complete deck?
Resurfacing a deck costs about 40% less than starting from scratch.
How to redo a deck for cheap?
If you are committed to DIY simply power wash, sand, and paint or stain your existing deck and rail every two years. It is a lot of work, but looks great for a year or so.
How do you update a worn deck?
- Give the deck a good clean with a pressure washer / power washer & deck cleaner.
- Check the deck screws to see if they are sticking up or rusted out.
- Replace weathered wood or rotten boards with new exterior wood.
- Consider replacing the railing and post too.
- Use a deck paint or stain (including transparent stains). This typically will take multiple coats of paint or stain to protect your deck for a couple of years.
- Or choose the easy, long lasting method: Replace old worn out decking with composite decking material.
