Why is deck resurfacing different in Central San Diego?
Central San Diego's large stock of 1980s and 1990s decks makes resurfacing one of the most common services we provide in this region. The original pressure-treated framing on those decks, when maintained, often remains structurally sound well into the 2020s, making them ideal resurfacing candidates that do not need the full cost of a foundation-up rebuild.

How do I know if my deck qualifies for resurfacing?
We assess the framing during the estimate. The ledger, beams, joists, and posts all need to be structurally sound and free of rot. If more than a quarter of the joists have significant rot or the ledger needs re-flashing, a partial structural repair or full rebuild usually makes more sense financially. We give you both numbers.
Can I resurface from wood to composite?
Yes. Composite boards can be installed directly over a properly spaced pressure-treated subframe. Most composite manufacturers require joist spacing no greater than 16 inches on center for their boards; some allow up to 24 inches at an angle. We check the existing joist spacing and add blocking where needed before the new boards go down.
