When a deck is past repair or you're ready for a new layout, we handle demo and removal in Longboat Key—take down the old deck safely, dispose or recycle where possible, and leave the site ready.

Rot, loose boards, and failing railings are common after years in Florida weather. In Longboat Key we repair and replace damaged sections, reinforce connections, and fix or replace stairs and railings. When the frame is still sound, repair is usually more cost-effective than a full rebuild. In coastal and high-wind or flood-prone areas we pay extra attention to fasteners and drainage.
