What this actually is
A replacement is a chance to correct what was wrong the first time. Most of the decks we take up were laid flat, without an adequate fall to the outlet, and with the parapet detail finished after the deck rather than tied into it. We correct the fall, rebuild the substrate where it has gone, and detail the junctions so the system is continuous.
We survey, design the detail, and give you a priced scope before anything is lifted. On a job this size you should know what you are buying.

Questions people ask
Most residential decks are a week to ten days, weather allowing. We will give you a date range in the scope and tell you early if it moves.
The system has temperature limits for laying and curing. We will tell you honestly whether the window is open rather than take the booking and hope.
Sometimes. That is why we survey first and why the scope says what happens, and what it costs, if the substrate underneath is worse than the readings suggested.
