The existing 20' x 6' deck off the back of our house is structurally sound but the floor boards are old, rotted in
several places and unsafe. Our original intent was to replace the deck in its entirety but after speaking with several
contractors, we believe if we replace the floor boards,we can extend the life of the deck by an additional 3-5 years.
Our plan is to replace with pine boards, prime and paint the same light gray color that exists today.
