Deck Restoration

The homeowners loved their large backyard layout, but their existing 15-year-old pressure-treated deck had become a safety hazard. Splintering boards, loose railings, and a few “soft spots” in the floor made the space unusable for their young children. They wanted a solution that looked brand new but didn’t require the complete demolition of the existing frame, which was still structurally sound.

Anchor & Beam executed a complete structural restoration and resurfacing. We carefully removed the old decking and railing, then reinforced the existing pressure-treated frame. We applied specialized joist tape to prevent future rot and installed Trex Transcend composite decking with hidden fasteners for a smooth, splinter-free finish. The result is a stunning, maintenance-free outdoor living space that requires no annual staining or sealing.

We were afraid to walk on our old deck barefoot. Now, it's like having an extra living room outdoors. Anchor & Beam saved us thousands by restoring the frame instead of tearing it all down. The new railing makes the whole backyard look modern.

Hidden Strength: The Restoration Process

Restoration is about more than just new surface boards. Our inspection revealed that the ledger board (where the deck meets the house) lacked proper flashing, posing a risk of water damage to the home’s rim joist. We corrected this immediately. We also installed mid-span blocking to stiffen the frame, ensuring the new composite deck feels solid and has zero “bounce” when walked on.
