This large Lakeway deck, about 70 feet long and 18 feet wide with four steps on one end and nine on the other, needed a full refurbishment. We replaced 38 deteriorated boards after confirming the support structure was sound, sanded the whole surface, and finished it with high-quality gray paint.
The Problem: Wear, Cracks, and Rot Near Entries and Railings
On first assessment we found significant wear and tear, particularly near entryways and railings, with cracks and areas of rot. The client wanted a thorough refurbishment, including sanding, repairing, and repainting or staining.
Because a deck this size has a lot of surface to protect, the first step was to evaluate which boards were past saving and to confirm the structure below them was sound.
How We Repaired It — Stage by Stage
Initial Assessment
We evaluated the deck’s condition, identified the worn areas and rot, and planned the repairs needed to restore function and appearance.
Remove the Damaged Boards
We carefully extracted the compromised boards, exposing the joists for a thorough inspection to confirm the substructure was sound and could support the new decking.
Install New Decking Boards
With the structure confirmed, we installed new boards to replace the removed sections. The fresh boards were distinct in color from the existing ones, showing the progress of the restoration.
Sand the Surface
To prepare for finishing, we sanded the entire deck, including both new and existing boards, to smooth imperfections, remove remnants of old finishes, and create a uniform surface.
Final Painting and Sealing
We applied a high-quality gray paint, giving the deck a fresh, well-maintained look and a protective layer against the elements.
The Result
In total we replaced 38 deteriorated boards, and the deck is now a durable, attractive feature of the property with a uniform gray finish across old and new wood.
