What affects the cost of deck resurfacing in Baltimore?
re-decking material vs. refinishing products, number of damaged boards to replace and joist additions for composite or pvc. Locally, older homes (median build year 1956) more often need ledger or framing corrections. Prices come from the contractor after a site visit.
What decking material works best in Baltimore's climate?
Capped composite is a good starting point: about 80 freeze-thaw days a year are hard on unsealed wood, many elevated townhouse decks are hard to reach for re-staining and older homes often suit traditional wood or a wood-look composite.
