Deck Resurfacing

Deck Resurfacing and Repair in Seattle, WA | Mill Decking

Deck resurfacing is one of the smartest investments a Seattle homeowner can make. If your joists, beams, and posts are structurally sound, there's no reason to tear the whole thing out. We remove the old boards, do a thorough structural inspection, and install a brand-new surface in composite, cedar, or hardwood. Over your existing frame, at a fraction of full replacement cost.
