Check the full existing structure
The ledger, framing, posts, footings, stairs and guards all need to be checked before deciding what can stay.

Fulcrest builds, installs, remodels, and replaces cedar and composite decks in Severance, including new deck construction and existing deck renovation.
The Town identifies decks as permit work and publishes current deck and patio-cover guides. Applications are handled through the Town permit system, with construction documents and contractor details submitted for the specific project.

The ledger, framing, posts, footings, stairs and guards all need to be checked before deciding what can stay.
Composite and wood choices should reflect sun, maintenance, repairability and the details of stairs and fascia.
Future posts, footings and framing need to be designed before the deck is treated as finished.
Severance identifies decks as permit work and publishes current deck and patio-cover building guides. That makes the relationship between the deck, site plan and any future covered structure worth resolving before framing and surface work are treated as final. Fulcrest uses the Town's current documents for the project rather than inventing a citywide exemption.
A deck project in Severance has to connect the home, grade and outdoor-living plan while carrying loads through reliable framing and footings. Fulcrest separates repairable conditions from full replacement and plans future shade before surfaces are closed.
The property address, site plan, setbacks, utility entries, grade, existing construction and intended structure help determine the Town submittal and build sequence.
Deck repair may be appropriate when damage is localized and the ledger, framing, footings, stairs and guards remain serviceable. Replacement becomes the clearer option when movement or deterioration affects several parts of the system or when the existing framing cannot support the intended layout and materials.
