Structure Comes First
Deck boards are only as good as the structure underneath. Before recommending resurfacing, Energy Plus reviews the visible condition of the framing, joists, beams, posts, ledger, footings, stairs, and railing. If the existing structure is not suitable, repairs or a rebuild may be recommended before new decking is installed.
