What resurfacing covers on a Dunwoody deck
Resurfacing usually means removing the old decking boards and installing new ones on the existing joists. It can also include new railings, new stair treads and risers, and fresh fascia boards around the edge to give the deck a finished look.
Because the footprint and frame stay in place, resurfacing can be a good fit on lots where mature landscaping, a patio below or nearby trees make a full tear-out more disruptive. It keeps what works and replaces what is worn.

The parts that stay must earn their place
Resurfacing only makes sense on a frame that is sound. With the old boards off, we check joists for soft spots and splits, look at how they connect to beams and the ledger, and make sure posts and footings are solid. Any weak members are repaired or sistered before the new surface goes on.
If you would like a written look before deciding, our Free Deck Health Check gives you notes on the frame, boards, railings and stairs of your existing deck. It is an easy way to know whether resurfacing is realistic or whether replacement is the safer path.

New decking: wood or composite on an older frame
Pressure-treated wood boards are a straightforward match for an existing wood frame. Composite boards are popular for resurfacing too, because they do not need staining and resist splintering. Composite does have its own requirements for joist spacing and fastening, so we check the frame against the product before recommending it.
Hidden fastener systems can give a clean surface without visible screw heads, while face screws are simpler and easy to service. We talk through the look you want and what suits the frame you have.
Dunwoody
Rails and stairs: refresh or replace
Old railings are often the first thing guests notice and the first thing to loosen. Resurfacing is a natural time to replace them with a sturdier system, whether wood, metal balusters or composite rails, and to make sure posts are firmly attached.
Stairs get the same attention. New treads, risers and, when needed, new stringers make the stairs feel solid and match the new deck surface instead of looking like an afterthought.
Dunwoody
Mature landscaping and creek-side lots
Many Dunwoody homes have mature landscaping and planting beds, and many residential lots intersect stream buffers. Keeping the existing footprint helps protect landscaping and avoids new ground disturbance. We plan material staging and access so beds and lawns are not torn up during the work.
If your lot is near a creek or drainage area, we look at how water moves around the deck and keep debris out of those areas. Where tree or buffer rules could come into play, we check what applies to your parcel before work begins.

Permits, neighborhood approval and working with B&T
The City of Dunwoody reviews deck work through its Community Development permits and inspections, and what a resurfacing project needs depends on its scope and your address. We confirm it before scheduling. Many Dunwoody neighborhoods have associations, and some ask for architectural approval, so homeowners in Dunwoody North, Brooke Farm and elsewhere should check early.
Breno visits in person, looks over the deck and talks through options. You get a free written estimate that separates boards, rails, stairs and any frame repairs. We work across DeKalb County and nearby Sandy Springs and Roswell, and we stand behind our finished work for a full year.
Straight answers
Dunwoody homeowner questions
Can my Dunwoody Village deck be resurfaced instead of rebuilt?
If the joists, beams, ledger, posts and footings are sound, resurfacing is often a good option. We confirm the frame condition before recommending it.
Can composite boards go on the existing frame of a Dunwoody deck?
Often, but composite has its own joist spacing and fastening requirements. We check the frame against the product before suggesting it.
What if you find bad joists under my Dunwoody deck boards?
We repair or reinforce weak members before installing new decking, and we list that work separately so you can see it.
Will resurfacing near Dunwoody Village disturb my garden beds?
We plan staging and access to protect beds and lawns. Keeping the existing footprint also limits disturbance compared to a full rebuild.
Should I replace the railings when resurfacing my Dunwoody deck?
It is usually a good time to do it. New rails can be sturdier, and they will match the new surface instead of looking dated next to it.
Does a Dunwoody deck near a creek need extra care during resurfacing?
Yes. We keep debris out of drainage areas and check what tree or buffer rules may apply to your parcel before starting.
Do hidden fasteners work on a resurfaced Dunwoody deck?
They can, depending on the board and frame. Hidden fasteners give a cleaner look, while face screws are simpler to service.
Does Dunwoody North or Brooke Farm require approval for new deck boards?
Some Dunwoody associations ask for architectural approval on exterior changes. Check with yours early, and we can provide materials and colors.
Do you resurface decks off Chamblee Dunwoody Road and Mount Vernon Road?
Yes. We work throughout Dunwoody and in nearby Sandy Springs and Roswell.
