Decking replacement in Whatcom County, WA — new boards on a frame we've verified.
Whatcom County decks live in moss country — nine wet months a year eat cedar boards from the top and rot ledgers from behind. We replace the decking and railing on structurally sound frames, and flash the house connection like the wall penetration it is.

Deck Resurfacing on Your Existing Frame
Here's the honest economics of Whatcom County decks: the boards fail long before the frame does. Cedar decking grays, splinters, and goes soft within 15–20 wet years — faster on shaded Lake Whatcom and South Fork lots, and with salt-corroded fasteners added near the Birch Bay and Blaine shoreline — while the pressure-treated joists underneath often have decades left. Resurfacing — new decking and railing on your existing frame — captures that difference, typically saving thousands over a full rebuild.
To be clear about what we do: we replace decking on existing, structurally sound frames — we don't build new decks from the ground up. The frame verdict comes first: we probe joists, posts, and the ledger connection before quoting. If the structure passes, you get composite-ready spacing corrections and new boards. If it doesn't, we tell you straight — new boards on a rotting frame is the one project we won't sell.
The detail most Whatcom County decks get wrong is the ledger — the board bolting the deck to your house. Water that gets behind it rots the house wall itself, which turns a deck project into a rot restoration. As a siding contractor, we flash that connection to wall standards, not deck-builder shortcuts.
