- The three specs that matter
Deck Boards: Material, Fasteners and Joist Protection
The board you see is the smallest part of how long the deck lasts.
Material: Wood or Composite
Pressure-treated pine costs least and needs sealing every two to three years. Cedar resists rot naturally. Trex and similar composites cost more per board, never need stain and do not splinter.
- Both are itemized in the same quote so you can compare the real difference.
Fasteners: Screws, Not Nails
Coated structural deck screws or hidden-clip systems for composite. Nails back out as wood moves, which is where most loose boards start.
- Hidden fasteners on composite leave a clean, screw-free surface.
Joist Tape and Flashing
Self-adhesive joist tape over every joist and new flashing at the ledger stop water sitting in the cut, which is how joists rot under good boards.
- Included on every FIXO deck, not sold as an upgrade.

Do the Boards Need Replacing or Just Refinishing?
Grey, dry wood with no soft spots usually just needs cleaning and sealing. Boards that are soft when you press a screwdriver in, cupped so water pools, or splitting along the grain are past saving. We test every board at the measurement.
- Frame inspected first
What Board Replacement Actually Involves
Surface board replacement keeps the structure you have and replaces everything you walk on. Old boards come up, the joists underneath are checked for rot and sistered or replaced where soft, joist tape goes on, and new boards go down fastened with screws or hidden clips, gapped for drainage and trimmed in a straight line at the edge.
- Every joist probed before the new boards go on, with repairs itemized
- Picture-frame border available in composite for a finished edge
- Boards gapped for drainage and expansion, not butted tight
- Old boards and fasteners hauled away the same day

Where we talk you out of it: decks where the ledger, posts or beams have rotted. New boards over a bad frame is money wasted, and we will say so.

- FAQ
Deck Board Replacement: Questions We Get Every Week
Straight answers. If yours isn’t here, call (757) 589-6859 — an installer picks up.
Yes, in wood. Matching new boards to weathered ones is visible for a season or two until they grey together. In composite, partial replacement depends on whether the original color is still made.
Most composites need joists at 16 inches on center or closer. We check at the measurement and add blocking or joists where needed, itemized on the quote.
A typical 300 sq ft deck is one to two days for boards. Add a day for rails or stairs.
Replacing boards like for like usually does not need one. If we are changing the structure we tell you and handle it.
Rails are quoted as their own line on the same visit. See railing and baluster upgrades.
Yes. The number you sign is the number you pay. If we find hidden rot under a board, we show you before touching it and you decide.
