Deck Upgrade: Your Trusted Source for Deck-Related Insights

Founding Year: 2017

Welcome to Deck Upgrade, your go-to digital destination for all things related to deck upgrades and exterior living spaces. We started this journey in 2017 with a simple yet powerful vision: to empower homeowners, DIY enthusiasts, and professionals alike with comprehensive knowledge and resources to transform their outdoor areas.

Our Story

In the bustling online landscape, we identified a gap in reliable, unbiased information regarding deck upgrades and design. Traditional sources often left users uncertain about the vast possibilities of deck enhancements, while some online platforms lacked credibility. This inspired us to create Deck Upgrade as a one-stop resource, offering an immersive experience tailored to every stage of a deck upgrade project.

Since our launch, we’ve celebrated numerous milestones, including:

2018: Introduction of our expert-curated ‘Deck of the Month’ feature, showcasing inspiring transformations from around the globe.
2019: Expansion of our team to include dedicated writers, designers, and researchers to enhance content quality.
2020: Launch of our interactive tool for calculating deck materials, helping users plan their projects effectively.
2022: Achieved over a million page views, solidifying our position as the go-to source for deck enthusiasts.
