Deck Demolition & New Construction
Tear out the old deck and build the one you actually wanted
A premium take on deck demolition & new construction
Some decks are too far gone — bad framing, wrong footings, or a layout that never worked. Starting over is often the better investment, and it's a project ISMA Builders handles end to end. We dismantle and haul away the old structure, then build fresh on a foundation that meets today's codes: proper footings, engineered connections, and hardware rated for coastal air. The result is a new deck that looks like it belongs to the house and performs for decades, not years.
This service is a good fit for homeowners and property managers who want a clean, professional result without juggling the details themselves. We handle the prep, the finish work, and the cleanup so the space is ready to enjoy when we're done.
Every project covers the essentials
- Complete demolition and disposal of the old structure
- Fresh footings and framing to current building code
- New layout opportunities: levels, benches, planters, and pergola-ready framing
- Composite, hardwood, and redwood decking installed to manufacturer spec
- Code-compliant railings and stairs from day one
- One crew, one contract, one written schedule — demo day to walkthrough
