St. Augustine's Reliable Deck Rebuild & Replacement Team

Aging framing, rotting boards, and outdated layouts all push deck owners toward replacement at some point. Maritime Docks and Decks Inc. takes on deck rebuild & replacement work across Florida for homeowners, restaurants, hotels, and waterfront properties facing exactly those conditions. Every job balances what can be saved against what needs to come out, with the goal of putting a structurally sound deck back in place.

Our Services

Existing Deck Assessment

Before any pricing or planning, the existing deck gets a full evaluation. Boards come up where needed to check joist condition, footings get probed for movement, and fasteners get checked for corrosion.

Demolition and Site Prep

Removing an old deck is more involved than it looks. The crew works in sections to keep landscaping intact, protects siding and stucco where the deck meets the building, and clears all debris off the property.

Foundation Review and Repair

Old footings often fail to meet current code or sit in soil that has shifted over the years. The rebuild includes new helical piers, diamond piers, or concrete footings wherever the existing foundation falls short.

Framing Rebuild

Fresh framing means fresh load calculations. Wood, composite, or PWT pressure-treated LVL goes in based on what the new surface and use case require, which often differs from how the original deck was built.

Permit Acquisition

Florida requires permits for deck rebuild & replacement work, and code has likely changed since the original build. The in-house permitting team handles applications, plan reviews, and the inspections that come with each phase.

Surface Installation

A rebuild is the moment most owners switch decking materials. Wood, hardwood, composite, and PVC are all on the table, and the install method shifts depending on which one ends up on top.

Railing and Lighting

Old railings rarely meet current height and spacing requirements. Replacement railing options include wood, composite, glass, vinyl, aluminum, steel, and cable, along with lighting upgrades for posts, steps, and the landscape around the deck.

Wheelchair and Accessibility Ramps

A rebuild is also a chance to add ramp access that the original deck lacked. New ramps tie into the main surface with matching materials and meet accessibility requirements.

Types of Decks We Rebuild and Replace

Platform Deck

Low-profile platform decks tend to trap moisture against the framing underneath. Replacement addresses the drainage and ventilation issues that shortened the original deck's life.

Raised Deck

Once the surface comes off a raised deck, hidden framing and fascia damage usually surfaces. The rebuild addresses those structural problems before any new boards go down.

Multi-Level Deck

Replacing a multi-level deck involves stair geometry and railing transitions that need to meet current code at every level. Each section gets rebuilt with the others factored in.

Freestanding Deck

A freestanding deck stands on its own foundation, so the rebuild does not have to coordinate with attached structures. Foundation conditions still get a full review since soil settles over time.

Rooftop Deck

Pulling up an old rooftop deck exposes whatever waterproofing issues sat hidden underneath. Replacement addresses both the deck surface and any roof repair the underside requires.

Pool and Spa Deck

Constant wet exposure breaks down pool deck framing faster than dry environments. Replacement here usually means moving to materials built for moisture and updating the layout for better traffic flow.

Curved Deck

A curved deck rebuild can match the original radius or change it depending on what the owner wants. Material choice affects how the curve forms during installation

Cantilevered Deck

Cantilever spans get fresh engineering during a rebuild, since code requirements may have tightened since the original was approved. The unsupported distance and the load above both factor into the new calculations.

Screened or Covered Deck

Replacing a screened or covered deck often means replacing the cover too, since both age at similar rates. The two structures get rebuilt as a coordinated project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers to common questions about our deck building process, customization options, permits, and materials.

Still have questions?

Do you offer complete deck replacement services?

Yes, full deck replacement is one of the core scopes. The work covers demolition, debris removal, foundation review, new framing, surface installation, railings, and lighting. Most owners use the project as an opportunity to switch materials or update the layout.

Can you rebuild decks while maintaining existing layout?

Yes, a deck rebuild & replacement can keep the original footprint where the owner prefers. The framing and surface get fully replaced with current materials, but the size, shape, and access points stay the same. Any code updates that have happened since the original build still get applied.

Do you handle deck repair as part of the rebuild process?

Yes, targeted repair work fits into any deck rebuild contractor plan when parts of the existing structure are worth saving. The assessment phase identifies what can be repaired and reused versus what needs to come out. Framing or foundations sometimes get repaired while the surface gets fully replaced.

How do you ensure the rebuilt deck is safe and durable?

Every deck rebuild & replacement runs through the local permit and inspection process from demolition through final walkthrough. The work follows current Florida building code rather than the standards that applied when the original deck was constructed. Material selection, foundation engineering, and fastener choice all factor into how long the new deck holds up.
