Okemos Deck Replacement

How do you know an old deck is finished? Push on a post at the base and see what happens. Rot starts underground and at the ledger, well out of sight from the surface. Deck replacement gives you a chance to fix the framing and change the layout at once. We tear the old structure out, correct the footings, and rebuild to current code. Wood and TimberTrex composite are both on the table depending on your budget. Armored is family owned, A+ BBB accredited, and GAF Master Elite President’s Club certified. Free estimates include a sketch of the new layout. Old footings often sit too shallow, and we fix that during the rebuild. Layout changes are easy at this stage. Adding stairs or widening the deck costs less now than later. Tear out usually takes a single day. A rebuild is also a good time to rethink the size. Financing and warranty coverage are available on every build.

Okemos Deck Builder

What should you ask a deck builder before hiring? Start with footings, since that is what everything else stands on. We dig below the frost line, which matters more in mid-Michigan than almost anywhere. Ledger attachment to the house gets flashed properly so water does not run behind your siding. Joist spacing is set for the decking material rather than a default number. Hidden fasteners keep composite surfaces clean and splinter free. Stairs, railings, and lighting get planned before we order anything. Meridian Township permits are pulled by us, not by you. Every board gets checked before it goes down. Crowned lumber goes back on the pile. Cleanup happens daily, not just at the end. Posts get set in concrete and checked for plumb.
