Rework What's Already There

Your deck in Jasper may have boards that bounce underfoot, railings that wobble when you lean on them, or a layout that no longer matches how you use the space. North Georgia Elite Decks evaluates the condition of the frame, decking surface, and supports to determine what needs replacement and what can stay in place during a remodel.

We remove damaged or rotted decking boards, replace sections of the frame that show signs of moisture damage, and install new railings if the existing ones don't meet current safety codes. If you want to change the footprint—such as adding a wider staircase or extending one side of the deck—we modify the structure to accommodate that. Material options include pressure-treated lumber, cedar, or composite decking, depending on what fits your maintenance preferences and budget.

If your existing deck in Jasper needs structural updates or a layout change, reach out to schedule an inspection and discuss remodeling options.

What's Included in This Service

When you hire us for a deck renovation in Jasper, we start by inspecting the frame, joists, and ledger board to identify rot, rust, or structural weakness. You'll receive a breakdown of what needs replacement and what can remain in the remodel.

After approval, the crew removes the old decking surface and any damaged framing members. North Georgia Elite Decks installs new joists where needed, reinforces the ledger connection to your house, and lays new decking boards with proper spacing for water drainage. Railings and stairs are rebuilt to current code standards, and any hardware showing corrosion is replaced with galvanized or stainless steel fasteners.

If you're changing the deck's footprint, we add or remove posts and beams to support the new layout. We also handle permits and inspections when required. The remodel typically takes one to two weeks depending on the extent of the work, and the finished structure will feel solid when you walk across it without the flex or noise that signaled the need for repairs.

Homeowners in Jasper often want to know whether a remodel makes more sense than tearing down and rebuilding, and what parts of the existing deck can be salvaged without compromising safety.

What parts of the deck do you replace during a remodel?

We replace any boards, joists, or posts that show rot, cracks, or structural weakness. Railings are often updated to meet current safety codes, and fasteners are replaced if they're rusted or loose.

How do you decide if the frame can be reused?

We inspect each joist and beam for moisture damage, insect activity, and structural integrity. If the frame is sound and properly attached, we keep it and focus the remodel on the surface and railings.

Can you change the size or shape of the deck?

Yes, we can extend one side, widen stairs, or adjust the layout as long as the foundation supports the change. This requires adding or relocating posts and may involve additional permitting.

What happens to the old decking material?

We remove and haul away all old boards, railings, and damaged framing. The site is cleared before new materials are installed, and debris is disposed of properly.

How long does a deck remodel take?

Most remodels in Jasper take one to two weeks depending on the scope. Projects that involve frame repairs or layout changes may take longer than surface-only replacements.

After the remodel is finished, you'll notice the deck no longer shifts when you walk on it, and the railings feel secure when you grip them. If you're ready to update your deck in Jasper, contact us to schedule an inspection and get a detailed remodeling plan.
