Signs a full replacement makes sense
Some decks only need new boards. Others have problems underneath that new boards would just cover up: rotted posts, joists that are soft at the ends, a ledger board that was not flashed well, or footings that have settled. When several of those show up together, rebuilding the frame is usually the more sensible path.
Our Free Deck Health Check gives you written notes on what we find, from the ledger to the stair stringers. It helps you see clearly whether repair, resurfacing or full replacement fits your deck before you commit to anything.

Tear-out and what happens to the old deck
Removing a deck is more than pulling boards. We take it apart in a controlled way to protect siding, windows, landscaping and any patio below, and we haul away the debris. Once it is gone, we can see the condition of the house wall where the old ledger was attached.
That moment is important. If there is water damage behind the old ledger, it should be addressed before a new deck is fastened to the house. We show you what we find and talk through the fix before moving on.

Cumming
A new frame built for the long haul
The new deck starts with proper footings and posts sized for the structure and the soil. Joists, beams and hardware are chosen to carry the load, and the ledger connection to the house is flashed so water runs away from the wall instead of into it.
Cumming sits in rolling Piedmont country, and even in a planned community some backyards slope. We lay out post heights, stairs and landings to suit the grade so the finished deck feels solid and the stairs are comfortable to use.

Choosing boards and rails for the new deck
Replacement is a good time to rethink materials. Pressure-treated wood is familiar and can be stained to many colors. Composite boards resist splitting and need no staining, which appeals to homeowners who would rather spend weekends on the deck than maintaining it.
Railings change the look of the whole back of the house. Wood balusters, metal balusters or composite rail systems each have a different feel. We bring options to the conversation and help you pick something that fits the home and any community guidelines.

Straight answers
Cumming homeowner questions
How do I know if my Vickery deck needs replacing instead of new boards?
Look underneath. Rotted posts, soft joist ends, a poorly flashed ledger or sunken footings usually point to a rebuild. We confirm it in person.
What happens to the house wall when an old Cumming deck comes off?
Once the ledger is removed, we can see the wall behind it. If there is water damage, we show you and plan the fix before the new deck is attached.
Can a replacement deck in Vickery be a different size or shape?
Often yes, subject to your HOA and the permit for your address. Replacement is a good moment to rethink layout, stairs and where the deck meets the yard.
Is composite worth it for a replacement deck in Cumming?
If you want boards that never need stain and resist splitting, composite is a strong option. Pressure-treated wood remains a solid choice when you prefer the look of natural wood.
Which railing styles look right on a Vickery home?
Wood, metal and composite railings all appear on homes in planned communities. We help you choose something that suits the house and any community guidelines.
Does Vickery need to approve a new deck design?
Many Cumming communities have architectural review for exterior changes. Check with your HOA early so approval does not hold up the project.
Will my Cumming deck replacement go through the city or the county?
It depends on whether your address is inside the City of Cumming. We confirm the right office before scheduling.
Do you haul away the old deck materials in Vickery?
Yes. Tear-out and debris removal are part of the replacement and are spelled out in writing.
Do you replace decks in Windermere and near Polo Golf & Country Club?
Yes. We work across Cumming and in nearby Johns Creek, Alpharetta and Milton.
