What is BETTER DECKS?

Better Decks helps you design, build, and upgrade stunning decks with creative ideas, expert tips, and inspiration to transform your outdoor space.

How often does a wood deck need to be sealed?

We recommend sealing pressure-treated decks every 1-2 years and staining every 2-3 years. Our team can set up a maintenance schedule for you.

Can you replace just the boards on my existing wood deck?

Yes, if your framing is still solid we can resurface your deck with new boards, saving you significant money compared to a full rebuild.
