Deck Restoration 101: Reviving Your Outdoor Space in Surrey

If you live in Surrey, known for its damp oceanic climate, then your deck probably takes a beating. Sometimes decks need to be restored. This is one of the services that our company offers. We are based in Surrey, BC, and are experts on all aspects of building envelope restoration. Today we are going to talk about what is involved in deck restoration.

Decking

It may be obvious to the naked eye that decking needs to be replaced. Perhaps you have cracked or missing boards. Or boards that are mushy when you walk on them.

Structure

But the structure and support below the deck is critical for the safety and integrity of the deck. So, professionals would examine this part first to make sure that the deck meets building code requirements for weight and snow loads, for example, and that everything is solid.

Draining

Another major issue for decks is whether water drains off the deck. Decks should tilt a few degrees down, and away from the house of building just for this purpose. This angle is not enough for you to notice, but it is enough for water not to pool on the surface. If your deck was not built correctly the first time, when a deck is restored by professionals, this is one thing that will not be neglected.

Even though we do lots of large projects with big buildings, we also work on smaller projects on residential homes in Surrey such as deck restoration. Get your deck assessed by professionals now so you have time to have it redone for next spring.
