Deck Replacement
Maybe the deck started pulling away from the house. Maybe rot showed up in a second place this spring. Maybe the repair list just keeps growing, season after season. Whatever brought you here, you need two things: a straight answer about whether your deck is actually done, and one crew that can handle everything if it is. Flicker Construction LLC does both — tear-out, haul-away, and rebuild under one project scope, with an honest inspection first.
Rebuilt by the Crew That Builds Decks
Flicker Construction LLC is a family-owned company with over 10 years of dedicated decking experience. Every replacement is handled by our in-house crew — the same people who build our new decks — with no subcontractors and no handoffs. We are fully licensed and insured, and you work directly with the builder from the first phone call to the final walkthrough.
Replacement is where cut-rate work hides best. Once the surface goes down, the footings, framing, and connections underneath disappear from view for the next twenty years — so who builds them matters more than anything you can see. We build replacement decks the same way we build everything: to current code, with the right hardware, by people accountable to the name on the truck.
We also give 10 percent of our profits to local causes, including our partnership with the ASPCA.
What's Included in a Deck Replacement
One scope, one crew, no gaps between "demo company" and "build company":
- Demolition and haul-away — the old deck comes out completely, and disposal is scoped in your free estimate. You never arrange a dumpster or a second contractor.
- New structure, built to current code — footings, framing, ledger connection, and hardware, all new. We do not reuse a failing frame.
- New surface and railings — decking and code-compliant railings, in the material you choose.
- Permits handled — we manage the permit process and inspections for the rebuild.
- Site cleanup — your yard is left clean, not a scrap pile.
Signs Your Deck Is Beyond Repair
Some problems are repairs. These usually aren't:
- The deck is separating from the house. A failing ledger connection is the most serious problem a deck can have — it's how decks collapse. If you can see a gap opening between the deck and your home, stop using the deck and have it inspected promptly.
- Rot in more than one framing member. One soft joist can be repaired. Rot appearing in multiple joists, beams, or posts means moisture has been winning for years, and the structure is failing as a system.
- Connections failing everywhere. Loose hardware in one spot is maintenance. Wobble, sway, or movement across the whole deck means the connections have aged out together.
- The repeat-repair spiral. If you've replaced boards one year, tightened railings the next, and you're staring at a new problem this season, the structure is telling you something no single fix will change.
An inspection settles it either way — and if what you actually have is a repair, that's what we'll tell you.
Rebuilt in Place — Same Size, Same Layout, New Bones
Our default replacement is a rebuild: your new deck goes up on the same footprint as the old one — same size, same layout — with everything underneath it new and built to today's code. It's the fastest, most predictable way to replace a deck, and for most homeowners it's exactly right.
If the old deck never really fit the space, a redesign is absolutely something we can do — but we'll say so up front, plan it together, and scope it as the design-and-build project it really is. What we won't do is blur the line: a redesign is not a simple swap, and you'll never find that out midway through a project.
And one honest clarification before you spend replacement money: if your deck's frame is sound and only the surface is worn, you may need resurfacing rather than replacement. That's a different, smaller project — and our inspection will tell you which one you're actually looking at. Either way, you can see everything we offer in the full lineup of our deck building services.
What Deck Replacement Costs
A replacement is a new deck plus the removal of the old one. Pricing varies by material: Pressure-Treated Wood: $30 – $40 per sq. ft. (The lowest upfront cost, but requires staining every 2–3 years to handle intense Colorado sunshine). Cedar or Redwood: $40 – $55 per sq. ft. (Naturally pest-resistant and handles local temperature swings well). Standard Composite (e.g., Trex, Fiberon): $35 – $60 per sq. ft. (The most popular local choice; resists fading and requires zero staining). Premium PVC / Capped Composite: $55 – $75+ per sq. ft. (Top-tier brands or multi-toned boards with extended warranties) — that's published on our site, not a number we save for the phone call — and the demolition and haul-away of your existing deck is scoped in your free estimate, so the price you see covers the whole project from tear-out to walkthrough.
The price on your estimate is the price you pay. No upselling, no surprises midway through — and if the inspection says you don't need a full replacement, we'll tell you that before we ever talk numbers.
