Our Portland
Deck Replacement Services
Every deck replacement project includes the work below, delivered by our in-house Portland crew. No subcontractors. No surprise add-ons. Every job covered by our 10-year workmanship warranty.
Footing Reset
Old footings rarely meet current code. We pour new concrete piers 30 inches (76 cm) deep, or install helical piles on saturated soil. Each footing is engineered for the new deck load.
New Pressure-Treated Framing
Fresh ground-contact pressure-treated lumber with joist tape on every member. Simpson Strong-Tie DTT2Z connectors anchor the ledger to the house rim. Code-compliant joist spacing for the new decking material.
Material Upgrade Options
Replace old cedar with Trex composite, TimberTech AZEK PVC, or IPE hardwood. Our deck rebuild Portland quote prices 2-3 material options side-by-side so the choice is clear.
Modern Railings
Replace dated wood railings with Cable Railing, Glass Balustrades, or composite balusters. All upgrades meet OR state 36-inch residential and 42-inch elevated code height.
Permit & Final Inspection
We file PP&D permits for full replacements (always required when ledger is reset). Final inspection scheduled within 5-7 days of completion. PP&D sign-off documents your deck rebuild Portland complies with 2024 IRC code.

Built for Portland Weather.
Built for Portland Weather.
Repaired by Portland Experts.
Portland decks face conditions most contractors don't understand. Our 36+ inches of annual rainfall combined with evergreen shade creates the perfect environment for wood rot. Add freeze-thaw cycles, constant humidity rolling off the Willamette, and moss-friendly surfaces, and you have a deck that's aging faster than almost anywhere else in the country.
We've worked decks in every Portland microclimate, from shaded north-facing lots in Sellwood-Moreland and Grant Park, to river-exposed waterfront homes in Alameda and Cathedral Park, to hillside elevated decks in Southwest Hills and Hawthorne. Each has unique failure patterns. We know them.
That's why every deck replacement project we deliver uses stainless or coated fasteners (not basic galvanized), proper joist flashing, and pressure-treated framing rated for ground contact, even where code doesn't require it.
- Stainless / coated fasteners standard on every project
- Ground-contact-rated framing exceeds Portland code requirements
- Joist flashing & ledger protection against PNW moisture
- Marine-grade sealers for riverfront & high-humidity homes

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions Portland homeowners ask us most about deck replacement. Don't see yours? Just call. Most questions get answered in under 5 minutes.
01 How much does deck replacement cost in Portland?
Replace old deck Portland pricing runs $14,500–$58,000 in 2025. A 300 sq ft cedar replacement costs $14,500–$22,000. The same size in Trex Transcend composite runs $22,000–$34,000. Multi-level IPE replacements push $42,000–$58,000. Pricing includes tear-out, disposal, and new PP&D permits.
Specific answer for your deck? Call (503) 782-972302 When does deck rebuild Portland make more sense than repair?
Rebuild beats repair when 3 conditions exist: deck is 15+ years old, structural rot affects 40%+ of joists, OR repair cost exceeds 60% of full replacement. We price both options side-by-side so the math is clear.
Specific answer for your deck? Call (503) 782-972303 How long does deck tear out and replace Portland take?
Tear-out takes 1-2 days. New construction adds 6-14 days depending on size and material. PP&D permit review adds 2-4 weeks. Total project window: 4-7 weeks from signed quote to final inspection.
Specific answer for your deck? Call (503) 782-972304 Can I replace a deck without removing my old footings?
Sometimes. If existing footings are 30 inches deep, on stable soil, and pass structural inspection, we reuse them. About 30% of Portland decks 10+ years old have undersized or shallow original footings that need replacement.
Specific answer for your deck? Call (503) 782-972305 Do I need permits for deck replacement Portland?
Yes, full replacement always requires an PP&D permit because the ledger reattaches. Permit fees run $385–$685 depending on deck value. We handle the entire submission in-house.
Specific answer for your deck? Call (503) 782-972306 What deck replacement features add the most resale value?
3 upgrades add the most resale value in 2025: Trex or TimberTech composite (low maintenance), Cable Railing (modern aesthetic), and LED deck lighting (extends use to evenings). Average ROI: 65-75% on replacement spend.
Specific answer for your deck? Call (503) 782-972307 Do you offer financing for Portland deck projects?
Yes. We partner with Synchrony Financial and Wells Fargo Outdoor Solutions for 6-month, 12-month, and 60-month plans on projects $2,500 to $75,000. 0% APR promotional periods qualify many homeowners. Call (503) 782-9723 for current rates.
Specific answer for your deck? Call (503) 782-972308 What does your 10-year workmanship warranty cover?
Our 10-year structural workmanship warranty covers 5 elements: framing, ledger attachment, footing connections, railings, and stairs. The warranty transfers to the next homeowner on sale. Material warranties from manufacturers (Trex 25-year, TimberTech 30-year, IPE lifetime) stack on top.
