Expert Services for Deck Replacement in Charleston, SC

It’s easy to get a new deck installation confused with a replacement. Installations usually refer to building a structure that has not existed in a specific space before. On the other hand, replacement refers to replacing an existing structure that is no longer serving convenience or a purpose. Maybe what you need is a deck replacement in Charleston, SC rather than a brand-new installation.

Our Charleston deck replacement service involves completely removing your existing structure and installing a brand-new beautiful deck in its place. Over time, decks can deteriorate due to various factors, such as harsh weather conditions, pests, or age. Signs that indicate you may need deck replacement include extensive wood rot, sagging or unstable structure, loose boards, or an outdated design. Whatever the case, trust Mr. Handyman for a beautiful deck replacement in Charleston, SC.

By opting for deck replacement, Charleston, SC residents ensure the safety and longevity of their outdoor living space. Our team will carefully assess the condition of your current deck, identify any underlying issues, and provide you with a comprehensive replacement plan. We'll work to understand your preferences and vision for the new deck, ensuring that the result exceeds your expectations.

Charleston Deck Replacement vs. Deck Repair

Deciding between deck repairs and replacement can be challenging. While minor issues like loose boards or regular maintenance can often be fixed, there are situations where deck replacement is the best course of action. Here are some things to consider if you need deck replacement:

• Signs of Damage: If your deck has extensive structural issues, such as wood rot, or water damage, it may be more cost-effective and safer to opt for deck replacement.
• Age and Wear: If your deck is old and has endured years of wear and tear, especially with the deck frame or loose railings, it would be more practical to replace it rather than invest in frequent repairs.
• Aesthetic Appeal: If you're looking to update the look and design of your deck and have great curb appeal, deck replacement provides an opportunity to choose a new style, material, or layout that better suits your preferences.

During our initial consultation, our experts will carefully assess your deck's condition and provide honest advice on whether deck replacement or repair is the best solution for you.

Options for a Patio Replacement in Charleston, SC

There are six basic materials that patios are typically made from. Some are more cost-efficient than others, but all can be personalized to best reflect your unique taste and style. Our service professionals can help you make a decision on which material is best for you, based on your needs, tastes, and budget requirements.

• Concrete: There's nothing more versatile than a beautiful concrete patio. Concrete patios are durable and easy to maintain, which is why they remain an incredibly popular option for outdoor patios.
• Brick: Much like concrete, brick is a versatile material for patio floors, pathways, walls, and even edgings. It can be arranged in a variety of different patterns, too, including herringbone, running bond, and jack-on-jack.
• Flagstone: This is a bit of a catchall category, as flagstone comes in different types of material. Flagstone types include sandstone, limestone, blue stone, and quartzite. But you need to be careful as flagstone patios need to be, at minimum, 1 1/2 inches thick and laid directly on a bed of soil or sand.
• Pavers: Concrete pavers used to only be available in utilitarian gray or off-pink, giving them a very institutional look. However, they're now available in much more natural colors and textures, allowing them to imitate brick, cobblestones, and even cut stone.
• Tile: For a patio, the best kind of tile to use is an unglazed ceramic tile. However, there are three main types of tile available for patios: porcelain, terracotta, and quarry. Tile requires quite a bit of maintenance to maintain its original appearance, so consider that when making a decision.
• Cut Stone: There is a range of cut stone tiles available for patio surfaces, including granite, marble, slate, travertine, limestone, blue stone, phyllite, and sandstone. These are usually cut into large square or rectangular shapes and are typically used for more formal applications than flagstone.
