Swapping tired deck boards over a sound frame is the highest-value deck work in Palo Alto — no permit, no review, and the deck walks like new at a fraction of rebuild cost. The one discipline that matters: check the joists while the deck is open, because that's the cheapest access you'll ever have to them.

The Palo Alto check

Older decks here often carry decades of seasonal cycling — wet winters, bone-dry summers — which loosens fasteners and opens butt joints long before the boards themselves fail. A board soft at the screw holes or joints is done; a board that flexes underfoot usually means the joist below, not the board.

Next step

Worst boards straight down, the full deck from a corner, one shot underneath if reachable — send through the form. Board count and access set the price; photos establish both.
