Deck Construction & Replacement
Petra Decks provides residential deck construction and full structural replacement for homeowners planning long-term, permanent outdoor structures. This service covers new builds from the ground up as well as complete teardowns where existing decks no longer meet structural, safety, or performance requirements.
If your project involves framing, footings, elevation, or load-bearing design, this page defines the scope clearly.
New Deck Builds and Full Structural Rebuilds
Deck construction goes far beyond surface materials. It starts with structure.
We build new decks where no structure exists and fully replace decks that have reached the end of their service life. This includes removal of compromised framing, re-establishing proper support, and constructing a deck that integrates cleanly with the home and surrounding grade.
This service is appropriate for projects that require:
New footings or post placement
Structural framing and load path planning
Elevated or multi-level configurations
Stairs, landings, and safe transitions
A complete reset rather than partial repair
Our focus is durability, clarity, and long-term performance.
You can view completed deck projects in our Portfolio to see how full construction and replacement projects are executed across different homes and site conditions.
Projects That Require Full Construction or Replacement
Deck construction and full replacement address the entire structural system. This approach is appropriate when framing, footings, or load capacity no longer support safe, long-term use and a complete structural reset is required.
Repair and renovation focus on limited-scope work within an existing structure. These approaches are appropriate when framing remains sound and the goal is to correct isolated issues or update surface-level elements through Deck Renovation & Remodeling.
When the structure itself is the limiting factor, construction or replacement is the correct starting point.
How We Plan Structural Deck Projects
Every construction project begins with planning that prioritizes structure first and appearance second.
Our planning process focuses on:
Site conditions and grade changes
Load paths and support placement
Integration with the existing home
Drainage, clearance, and access
Sequencing that minimizes disruption
Clear scope and disciplined planning allow construction to move forward without surprises or shortcuts.
What to Expect From the Construction Process
Deck construction is a coordinated process, not a single task. Homeowners can expect a structured approach from evaluation through completion, with clear communication at each phase.
The process emphasizes:
On-site evaluation and scope definition
Structural preparation before surface work
Consistent progress and communication
Final review focused on stability and finish
The goal is a finished deck that performs as a permanent structure, not a temporary upgrade.
Why Homeowners Trust Petra Decks
Petra Decks approaches deck construction as a full structural build, not a surface upgrade. Every project is planned around framing integrity, load paths, and how the deck will perform as a permanent part of the home.
Our work is executed using licensed, code-aligned construction practices and designed to handle real-world conditions over time. From initial planning through completion, decisions are made to ensure the structure is built once and built correctly.

Decking Materials Used in Construction Projects
As part of our deck construction work, we commonly use composite decking, PVC decking, and cedar decking for long-term durability and low maintenance. We also install a variety of deck railing materials and deck lighting systems as part of full deck construction or replacement scopes. Explore decking material options
