Lansing Deck Builder

Is your old deck worth saving or worth starting over? That question comes up a lot with Lansing homeowners. The answer usually shows up in the framing, not the surface. Boards are easy to swap out and cheap enough to change in a weekend. Rotted posts, wobbly stairs, and joists that soaked through one freeze and thaw cycle after another are a different story. Our team walks the whole deck with you and points out what we find. You get plain answers before anyone talks about price. Armored has built outdoor living space for mid-Michigan families since 2020, and we are still family owned. Wood and composite both hold up well near the Grand River, so we will help you weigh cost against upkeep.

Professional Deck Replacement

How do you know when it is time for a deck replacement? Your feet usually tell you first, long before anything looks wrong from the yard. Soft spots, popped screws, and rails that give when you lean on them are all clues. Here is what our crews check during a free inspection:

1. Ledger board attachment and flashing
2. Post footings set below the frost line
3. Joist hangers, rot, and rusted hardware
4. Stair stringers, railing height, and spacing
5. Surface boards, fasteners, and board spacing

Once we know what the frame is doing, we can price the work honestly. Some decks need new boards and rail and nothing else. Others come down to the footings and go back up right. We build with treated wood and TimberTrex composite, and we bring samples of both so the choice feels easy. Deck installation moves fast once your material lands, and our crews clean the site every day they are here.
