Deck Replacement · Knoxville, Tennessee
Replace an aging deck with a space planned for how you live now.
McKenzie Construction plans deck replacements around the existing home, current site conditions, access to the yard, material preferences, and the complete scope—not just the surface boards.
Plan the Right Scope
Start with the property and the way you want to use the space
A deck replacement begins with understanding what is present and what should change. The existing footprint, framing, stairs, railing, elevations, drainage, and access all affect the practical replacement plan.
Replacement Goals
Confirm whether the footprint stays the same or changes to improve furniture space, circulation, stairs, or yard access.
Material Direction
Compare pressure-treated wood and composite finishes based on appearance, maintenance expectations, and budget.
Complete Scope
Coordinate demolition, framing, decking, trim, stairs, railings, disposal, access, and related project details.

Frequently Asked Questions
Helpful answers before you request a consultation
Can you replace the entire deck rather than just the boards?
Yes. A replacement scope can include demolition and replacement of framing, supports, decking, stairs, and railings. The final scope depends on the site review and approved plan.
Can the replacement deck use a different layout?
Yes. The existing footprint can be retained or the replacement can be planned with changes to usable space, access, stairs, or railing layout when the property and project scope support them.
Can I switch from wood to composite decking?
Yes. Wood and composite finish options can be reviewed as part of the replacement scope. Framing, spacing, trim, and fastening requirements are coordinated with the selected system.
How do you know whether the existing framing can stay?
Existing framing and connections are reviewed at the property. Concealed or uncertain conditions are not assumed to be reusable before they can be properly evaluated.
