Deck Restoration in Fargo ND — Bring Your Deck Back to Life

Serving Fargo, Moorhead, and Surrounding Areas

A deck that looks worn and weathered doesn't always need to be replaced. The right restoration work can add years to its life and make it look like new again.

ABOUT OUR DECK RESTORATION SERVICES

Fargo winters are hard on wood decks. By the time spring arrives, years of snow, ice, freeze-thaw movement, and UV exposure can leave a deck looking grey, rough, and tired — even when the structure underneath is still perfectly sound. Deck restoration addresses the surface and any minor structural issues to get your deck looking and performing the way it should. LT Outdoor Living handles deck restoration across Fargo, Moorhead, West Fargo, and surrounding communities. Call (320) 699-0611 and we’ll take a look at what your deck needs.

When You Need Deck Restoration

Deck restoration is the right call when the structure is sound but the surface has taken a beating. Common signs: the wood has gone grey and rough from UV exposure, the finish is peeling or completely gone, individual boards are starting to splinter but aren’t structurally compromised, or the deck just looks bad next to an otherwise well-kept home. In the Fargo area, most wood decks need some level of restoration every three to five years to maintain their appearance and protect the wood from further weathering. Catching it before the surface deteriorates too far is much cheaper than waiting until boards need to be replaced. If you’re not sure whether your deck needs restoration or something more involved, we’ll tell you honestly after a look.

Our Deck Restoration Process

We start with a full inspection of the deck — surface and structure — to understand what we’re working with. Any boards that are genuinely damaged get addressed before the restoration work begins. Then we clean the deck thoroughly to remove dirt, mildew, and old finish. Sanding follows to open the wood grain and create a surface that holds stain or sealer properly. Once the surface is prepped, we apply a quality exterior stain or sealer suited for the Fargo climate — one that handles temperature swings and UV exposure without breaking down in a single season. The finished result is a deck that looks significantly better and is protected against the next round of weather. Most restoration projects are completed in one to two days.

Deck Restoration Cost in Fargo

Restoration is almost always less expensive than replacement — and often less than a full repair project. Cost depends on the size of the deck, the condition of the surface, and whether any boards need to be replaced before the restoration work begins. We give you a written quote after the inspection so you know what you’re paying before any work starts. No hidden charges, no add-ons mid-project.

Why Choose LT Outdoor Living

We know the Fargo-Moorhead climate and we know what deck surfaces need to hold up through it. LT Outdoor Living is locally owned and operated, licensed and insured in Minnesota. We don’t just clean and seal and call it done — we check the full structure first and address anything that needs attention before the surface work begins. That’s the difference between a restoration that lasts and one that looks good for one season. Luke oversees every project and stands behind the work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When I started thinking about a new deck, I only had a general idea of what I wanted it to look like.  Luke provided lots of ideas, and options that I had not thought of.  He is very knowledgeable about engineering requirements, materials, and design.  This project turned out better than I had hoped for.  I highly recommend LTOutdoorLiving for your project.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Luke and his crew will go above and beyond for you!  He is very respectful of the project and your time. He kept in contact with us and let us know how everything was going every step of the way. Luke put a new set of stairs on our pre-existing deck.  Safety for our family was number one in his books. He built the strongest set of stairs I think I have ever seen.  I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Luke and his crew again!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Luke is a impressive person, respectful of others and trustworthy, I have a special needs daughter and I had no issues at all or worries about leaving her at home while he and his team were here working, I had asked him to look out for my daughter and my elderly mother,  he gave me his word that he would. It was a absolute pleasure to work with him and his team. His attention to detail, and his strive for excellence gives him the edge over the rest. Hard worker, very skilled craftsmanship and has the ability to overcome any of the challenges in deck building. Honest, trustworthy, and high integrity. He gave me a quote, I told him my budget and he was able to work things out and stay within his quote. I couldn’t be happier with the work that he had done!
I should have called him years earlier, so nice to enjoy the maintenance free deck and patio now.
Any future with the building needs I may have I will be sure contact him, highly recommend LT Out Door Living !!!!
Thanks again Luke.

I needed two piers put into the ground within the week and they rearranged their schedule to get me in to keep my project going on. Awesome people to work with and did a great job. Would highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn't be happier with the experience I had working with LT Outdoor living! From the very first day, he showed up with a smile on his face and a can-do attitude that instantly put me at ease. It’s rare to find someone who not only takes pride in their craft but also goes above and beyond to make sure your needs are fully met— Luke did exactly that.
He listened carefully to what I wanted, offered helpful suggestions, and paid attention to every detail. One of the standout parts of the process was that he offered a 3D design of the deck before construction even began. It was incredibly helpful to see exactly what the finished product would look like—it gave me peace of mind and made it easier to make confident decisions about layout and features. Thank you so much Luke!!
