Finally tackling the deck renovation this summer

Spent all day yesterday measuring and planning. It's going to be a bigger project than I thought but I'm pumped. Thinking about doing most of the work myself with help from a buddy who knows what he's doing. Anyone done a full deck rebuild? Timeline and budget reality check appreciated before I get too deep in it.

Deck projects always take longer than expected but they're so worth it when you're done. What kind of wood are you going with? Pressure treated or composite?

Make sure you have the kids help with this too if they're old enough. Even if it slows you down it's quality time and they learn actual skills. Plus they're way more proud of a deck they helped build.

Summer deck projects are my happy place honestly. Just don't underestimate the prep work. That's where most people run into problems.
