Transforming your outdoor space is easy with Proper Built, your trusted deck remodeling and resurfacing experts in Portland and the greater Pacific Northwest. We specialize in updating, upgrading, and restoring decks using high-performance materials built for the region’s climate.
Whether your current deck needs a new surface or a complete structural overhaul, Proper Built is here to deliver safe, beautiful, and long-lasting results. We offer both deck resurfacing and full remodels using TimberTech composite and PVC, Trex decking, pressure-treated wood, cedar, and redwood.
Is Your Deck Ready for an Upgrade?
Knowing whether to resurface or remodel your deck begins with evaluating its structure and how well it serves your needs. Our team starts every project with an inspection to guide you to the best choice.
- Structural Integrity First: If your posts and framing are solid, resurfacing might be the most cost-effective path.
- Deck Age Matters: Decks older than 15 years often benefit from remodeling to resolve hidden structural problems.
- Safety Signals: Loose railings, uneven stairs, or rot beneath the boards are signs that a full remodel might be required.
Deck Resurfacing: A Budget-Friendly Deck Refresh
Resurfacing is a smart solution when your deck’s frame is in good condition but the surface materials have aged. We can give your deck a new lease on life.
- Replace Worn Boards: Old, splintered, or faded boards are replaced with TimberTech, Trex, cedar, or redwood for a clean new look.
- Upgrade to Composite or PVC: Low-maintenance decking like TimberTech composite and PVC lasts longer and resists Portland’s rainy climate.
- Boost Curb Appeal: Fresh railings, post caps, or built-in lighting modernize your space without the cost of a full rebuild.
Deck Remodeling: A Full Redesign with Premium Materials
When your deck is too small, structurally unsound, or simply outdated, remodeling gives you the freedom to reimagine the space entirely.
- Expand Your Living Space: Change the shape, size, or flow of your deck to better suit gatherings, dining, or relaxation.
- Strengthen the Structure: We replace aged or unstable framing with pressure-treated lumber or stronger options for safety and longevity.
- Add Modern Features: From pergolas to privacy screens or outdoor kitchens, remodeling opens up endless possibilities.
Deck Resurfacing vs. Deck Remodeling Comparison
| Signs of Wear | Resurface | Remodel |
| Deck Boards Are Worn or Splintered | Framing is solid; only surface materials need replacing. | Damage extends to structural framing or substructure. |
| Railings Feel Loose | Minor tightening or refinishing required. | Railings are unstable or rotting—needs full replacement. |
| Deck Is Fading or Discolored | Composite decking or staining can refresh the look. | Age and wear are too advanced for cosmetic fixes. |
| Frame and Posts Are Solid | Ideal candidate for resurfacing. | Rot or instability demands full structural work. |
| Deck Feels Too Small or Outdated | Style upgrades possible, but layout remains. | Remodeling allows full layout redesign. |
