Deck Extensions & Re-Decking in Virginia

Keep What Works. Improve the Rest.

Re-Decking and Extensions That Add Value Fast

If your deck is still structurally sound, you don’t need to start from scratch. At Alliance Deck Builders of Virginia, we offer re-decking to replace worn boards, rails, and stairs—while keeping your existing frame. Or, we can extend your deck to add space for furniture, grilling, or entertainment zones. It’s a smart way to upgrade without overspending.

More Space, Less Disruption

What to Expect from a Deck Expansion or Re-Deck

We start with a structural inspection to ensure your current framing meets code. Then we design your new layout—whether it’s added square footage, new stairs, or a full resurfacing. You choose the materials; we handle the permits, demolition, and rebuild. We can also shift layouts, add steps, or install railings to meet updated safety standards.

  • Replace decking boards with composite or wood

  • Add new platforms, stairs, or seating areas

  • Update railings, fascia, and trim for a fresh look

From Faded to Fresh

Re-Decking: A Smart Alternative to Full Replacement

When your boards are splintering or fading but your structure is still strong, re-decking is the best move. We strip away old wood or composite boards and install new decking using modern materials and hidden fasteners. It’s faster than full replacement, more affordable, and lets you keep the layout you already love—just with a cleaner, stronger surface.

Build Onto What You Already Love

Deck Extensions That Match and Flow

Need more space for seating, a hot tub, or a second zone for dining? We design deck extensions that look and feel like part of the original build. We match decking materials, rail styles, and trim details to keep the entire deck visually seamless. Whether you’re adding three feet or an entire new platform, we build with structural safety and style in mind.

Update Looks, Improve Performance

Upgrade to Composite During Re-Decking

Re-decking is the perfect time to switch from high-maintenance wood to low-maintenance composite. We’ll remove your old boards and install new planks in your choice of color, texture, and trim style. Composite resists fading, splinters, and rot—while keeping the same structure underneath. You get the appearance of a brand-new deck without the full tear-out price.

Don't worry, we can help!

What’s Included in a Deck Extension or Re-Deck Project

Whether you’re replacing surface boards or adding new space, our process includes a full inspection, material matching, and expert installation. We’ll help you choose the best layout and materials, then handle all the heavy lifting—from teardown to trim. Every project is quoted clearly, built to code, and designed for long-term use.

  • Structural inspection and framing checks

  • Full removal of old decking and safe disposal

  • Permits, material ordering, and finish work included

Great Fit for Aging or Underbuilt Decks

Reinforce While You Rebuild

Older decks often have good bones—but not quite up to today’s standards. During re-decking or extensions, we upgrade joists, blocking, and hardware to meet current codes. This means a safer structure, stronger support, and longer lifespan for your investment. You’ll get the look of a new deck and the strength of a new build.

Deck Expansion & Re-Decking Questions

What to Know Before Updating Your Deck

Adding onto an existing deck or replacing surface boards can save time and money. Here’s what homeowners ask before starting.

Question 1: Can I reuse my current deck frame?

If it’s structurally sound and up to code, yes. We’ll inspect it first to make sure it’s safe to keep.

Question 2: Will the new section match my existing deck?

We carefully match materials, stains, and trim to keep the look consistent.

Question 3: How long does a re-decking project take?

Most jobs take 2–5 days, depending on size and whether you're switching to composite.

Question 4: Can I extend a deck with composite if the original is wood?

Yes. We can blend materials, or re-deck the full surface in composite for a uniform finish.
