Deck Resurfacing in Orefield, PA

When a Orefield deck has outlived its boards, call Upgryd: we resurface it, with new composite boards, fascia and railing on the frame you already have once that frame is sound and up to code. The Orefield resurface linked below went in with Deckorators Summit Boulder decking and Railing Wedge Lights.

The frame decides whether a resurface is the right call, so we inspect the ledger, joists and footings before reusing any of them. We also resurface decks across Allentown, Whitehall, Schnecksville and Cetronia, so the materials and methods below are proven on neighbouring houses.

Paperwork is part of the job. We confirm with Orefield which permits your resurface needs and prepare the filing. 248 reviews show how the finished work holds up.

What a Orefield deck resurface includes

• Frame first. We inspect the joists, beams, ledger and footings, and rebuild what failed or fell short of current code, on #1 grade pressure-treated lumber with the ledger sealed under butyl flashing tape and butyl joist tape capping each joist.
• New surface and edges. Composite boards from Deckorators, Trex or TimberTech go on, with picture-frame construction at the edges and matching fascia.
• Railing and stairs. New railing on surface-mounted structural posts holds plumb for years, and stairs are rebuilt to current code where they fall short.
• Warranty and paperwork. Every resurface carries our 25-year limited labor warranty, and we prepare and file the permit paperwork.

How a Orefield deck resurface unfolds

Consultation

A free in-home consultation puts a tape measure on the deck, a flashlight under the joists and your boards, color and railing preferences on the table.

Proposal

The interactive proposal lists the scope line by line, with the materials, financing options and a visualization of the finished deck.

Permits

We confirm with Orefield which permits your resurface needs, then prepare the plans and the application.

Ordering and build

Materials are ordered and installers get a start date. A resurface runs about four weeks from signed contract to completion; frame repairs, when needed, come before the boards.

Walkthrough and warranty

We walk the finished deck with you before final payment, and the 25-year limited labor warranty starts then.

Orefield permits and footings for a resurface

Permits

Orefield is unincorporated, so it depends on your address: North Whitehall or South Whitehall. North Whitehall asks for a zoning permit under 30 inches above grade and a building permit above it; South Whitehall requires a zoning permit for every deck.

Whether a boards-and-railing resurface needs its own permit depends on the scope of the work, so we confirm with Orefield for your address before pricing it.

Footings and the frame

Sound existing footings stay on a like-for-like resurface once they are inspected; footing depth is stated on the permit drawings, and helical piers go in when the ground calls for them. Full permit, footing and weather notes are on the Orefield deck builder page.
