Deck Replacement

Deck Replacement in Calgary, AB

When an old wood deck goes soft, starts to sag, or the railing moves when you lean on it, patching it rarely pays off. We tear it down, haul it away and build a new composite deck in its place, with one fixed price for the whole job.

Signs Your Calgary Deck Needs Replacing

Many wood decks in Calgary were built when the house went up, and our winters age them fast. Water gets into the boards, freezes and expands, and over enough seasons the wood checks, cups and rots from the inside. By the time a board feels soft, the joist underneath it is often worse.

If you are seeing any of the signs below, it is worth having the deck looked at before another winter.

Soft or spongy boards

A board that gives underfoot usually means rot in the board or the joist below it.

Sagging or a deck that bounces

Often a sign of undersized or decayed framing, or footings that have heaved or settled.

Railings that move

A loose railing is a safety problem, especially on a raised deck. Guards have to hold a real load.

Pricing

How Much Does Deck Replacement Cost in Calgary?

Most Serenity deck replacements in Calgary run between $18,000 and $70,000+ CAD, including demolition, disposal and the new build. The spread comes down mostly to size, height, the railing you choose and whether the existing footings can be reused.

Wes gives you one fixed written price for the whole job after the site visit. Tear-down, disposal, permit and the new deck are all in that number, and there is no deposit.

What moves the price

  • •Size and height of the old deck and the new one
  • •Whether the existing footings and framing can be reused
  • •Demolition access, especially for second-storey decks
  • •Board and railing choices for the new deck
  • •Stairs, landings, skirting and lighting

How It Works

How a Deck Replacement Project Runs

1

Inspection and consultation

Wes looks at the old deck, checks the footings and framing, and talks through what you want from the new one.

2

Fixed written estimate

One price for demolition, disposal, permit and the new build. It only changes if you change the plan.

3

Permit

A replacement is usually treated as new construction, even on the same footprint, so we prepare and submit the permit for you.

4

Tear-down and rebuild

Demolition usually takes 1 to 2 days. Larger replacements take 1 to 3 weeks start to finish depending on size, permits and weather.

5

Walkthrough, then payment

We clean up, walk the new deck with you, and you pay when you are happy with it.

Wes has been great to work with. Came out and prepared a detailed estimate, provided recommendations for product and references for work he'd done in the area. His crew tore down our old deck and built new one in 2 days. We love our new deck and the price was good too.

Wes and his crew rebuilt our deck while we were recently away on holidays, during which time they had complete access to our house. We returned to find an amazing new deck and the house spotless. Can't say enough about the quality of the work, definitely the A Team!

Wes and team came out in January and gave a quote, they then were able to come mid April and complete it. Communication and expectation setting was great, materials used are awesome and they cleaned up the site nicely too. Would highly recommend to anyone.

We had a large project that we had quoted by numerous other companies and Wes came in much more reasonable than anyone else. He and his crew are pleasant to deal with and did a great job. We would definitely recommend to anyone looking for someone they can trust!

FAQ

Deck Replacement Questions

Usually, yes. A replacement deck is generally treated as new construction, even when it goes back on the same footprint. We handle the drawings, application and inspections.
Sometimes. We inspect the existing piles or piers and reuse them only when they are sound, the right size and in the right place for the new design. If they are not, we install new ones.
Demolition usually takes 1 to 2 days. Most replacements are finished within 1 to 3 weeks of starting, depending on size, permits and weather. You get a timeline with your estimate.
If the problems are limited to a few boards, a repair can make sense. If the framing is rotting, the deck sags, or the railings are loose, replacement is usually safer and better value. Wes will tell you honestly which one your deck needs.
We remove it and dispose of it. Demolition and disposal are included in your fixed written price.
No. You pay when the new deck is finished and you are happy with it.
