Our Composite Decking Resurfacing Process
Resurfacing isn’t just about screwing down new boards. Because composite decking lasts 25+ years, we have to ensure the wooden frame underneath will last just as long.
Remove & Inspect
We strip off all the old pressure-treated pine boards. Once the frame is exposed, we inspect every inch of the structure. If we find rotten joists, loose ledger boards, or broken stair stringers, we repair them immediately. We never cover up a structural problem.
Protect the Joists
This is a critical step many contractors skip. We apply Joist Tape (a waterproof flashing tape) to the top of every wooden joist. This seals the old nail holes and prevents water from sitting on top of the wood, ensuring your 15-year-old frame doesn't rot out beneath your brand-new deck boards.
Install Hidden Fasteners
One of the best features of composite is the smooth finish. We use hidden fastener clips that slide between the grooves of the boards. This means no visible screw heads on the surface to pop up, rust, or snag your bare feet.
Railing Options: Keep The Old or Upgrade?
When we replace the floor, you have a choice to make about the perimeter.
Keep The Old Railing
If your existing wood posts and rails are in good shape, we can leave them in place. However, you will still have to stain them, which defeats the "maintenance-free" goal for many homeowners.
Install New Wood
We can install fresh pressure-treated railings for a cost-effective safety update. While this restores structural strength, it will still require regular maintenance and staining to prevent rot.
Upgrade Materials
Most clients upgrade to Vinyl or Aluminum railings to match the new composite floor. This maximizes your investment and eliminates the need for painting, sealing, or staining the perimeter.

Common Questions About Resurfacing
Is my deck a good candidate for resurfacing?
It depends on the frame. If the posts and joists are solid, straight, and rot-free, yes. If the frame is sagging or has significant rot, it is often more cost-effective to tear it down and build new. We will give you honest advice during our site visit.
Why use joist tape?
Composite decking is an investment. Joist tape costs very little but adds years to the life of your wooden frame. It protects the wood from moisture, ensuring the structure survives as long as the 25-year warranty on your new deck boards.
Can you use hidden fasteners on any composite board?
Most modern composite boards come “grooved” specifically for hidden fasteners. If you choose a square-shoulder board (usually for borders or stairs), we use color-matched face screws that blend in almost perfectly.
