Restore Your Deck Without the Cost of a Full Rebuild

Decks take a beating from the Georgia sun and humidity. Over time, the surface splintering, checking, and warping starts to make your outdoor space unusable. But if your deck's posts and joists are still strong, you don't need a full rebuild. Rebuilding a deck frame can waste thousands of dollars. Instead, you can restore or resurface the existing structure.

Tier 1: Wash & Stain

For wood structures that are still solid but weathered. We perform a deep pressure wash to remove dirt, algae, and grey fibers, followed by applying a premium penetrating oil stain to seal and protect the wood.

Tier 2: Full Resurfacing

For decks with damaged, rotting, or splitting topboards but a strong frame. We remove all surface boards and replace them with new premium southern yellow pine or low-maintenance Trex composite boards using hidden fasteners.

Common Restoration Questions

Can you resurface a deck instead of building a new one?

Yes. If your deck's structural frame—the posts, beams, and joists—is still strong and free of rot, we can replace just the surface boards and railings. This process is called resurfacing and saves you about 40% to 50% compared to a full deck rebuild.

How much does deck resurfacing cost in Athens, GA?

Deck staining costs $3 to $5 per square foot. Full topboard resurfacing costs $18 to $24 per square foot for wood, and $45 to $60 per square foot for composite decking like Trex. We provide upfront, detailed pricing before starting.

How long does a deck resurfacing project take?

Most deck staining and resurfacing projects are completed in 2 to 3 days. Power washing takes one day, and after the wood dries, staining or board replacement takes another 1 to 2 days.
