Composite Deck Rebuild & Structural Upgrade in Wichita, KS
Can a Sinking Deck Be Repaired, or Does It Need a Full Replacement?
That was the question a Wichita, KS homeowner brought to Keeter Roofing & Remodeling. The composite decking on their private home still looked fine, but the wood framing and support posts underneath were deteriorating, and failing footings had let the posts start to sink, putting the attached gable roof at risk too. The homeowner needed a clear answer on whether to repair or replace.
Why the Deck Needed a Complete Rebuild
An evaluation showed the framing and posts were too far gone to repair safely. A partial fix would have left the same failing footings in place, so Keeter Roofing & Remodeling recommended a complete deck replacement built to current code, including new footings, upgraded framing, and code-compliant handrails.
Why This Wichita Homeowner Chose Keeter Roofing & Remodeling
The homeowner chose Keeter Roofing & Remodeling because the proposal addressed the whole problem, not just the decking surface. It explained how the existing roof would stay supported through demolition, covered permits and material transport, and gave the homeowner their choice of decking color. That attention to detail and structural safety gave them confidence to move forward.
