Built Right or Rebuilt From Scratch

Deck construction in Bardstown for homes with slopes, tight yards, or failing structure

All & All Construction & Dumpsters LLC builds new decks and rebuilds failing ones in Bardstown, serving homeowners whose existing deck has begun to rot, shift, or simply wear out. Many older homes in town were built with modest back yards that include established steps, grade changes, or property lines that a deck has to work around rather than ignore. A crew that has spent fifteen years on residential deck work in this area knows how to frame around those constraints instead of asking you to change them.


Every build starts with an assessment of what the site actually requires. For a rebuild, the old deck comes off first, and the existing footings and ledger board are checked before any new material goes down. All & All sets six-by-six posts on every deck regardless of size—a standard that keeps the frame stable over time and reduces flex in the structure. Screws replace nails at connections where the mechanical hold matters, and flashing is installed wherever the deck meets the house to prevent water from tracking behind the ledger board.


Request an on-site estimate so the crew can measure the grade, identify any ledger or footing conditions, and give you a specific plan for the build.

What Proper Deck Construction Requires

The framing, posts, railing, and decking are all handled by the same five-person crew, which means nothing sits waiting on a subcontractor to show up. Old material from a teardown is hauled off in the company's own dumpster rather than left on the property or stacked for you to manage. That detail matters on small-town lots with limited staging room, where a second crew and a rented container would turn a back yard into a worksite for weeks.


Once the deck is finished, you should be able to see a consistent fastening pattern across the decking surface, solid railing posts with no lateral movement, and flashing that sits flush and tight at the house connection. A deck built this way does not develop the bounce and creak that shows up when posts are undersized or connections rely on nails alone.


The one-year workmanship warranty covers the installation itself—not material defects, which fall under the product manufacturer, but the way the crew built it. That distinction is worth understanding before any project starts, and the crew can walk you through what each part of the build covers.

Common Questions About Deck Construction

Homeowners working through a deck project often have specific questions about how the work is sequenced and what decisions get made on site. The answers below reflect how All & All Construction & Dumpsters LLC approaches deck work in Bardstown.

  • What happens to the old deck during a rebuild?

    The existing deck is torn out entirely before new work begins. All removed material is loaded into the company's own dumpster and hauled off, so the site is clear before framing starts.

  • Why are six-by-six posts used on every deck regardless of size?

    Undersized posts flex more under load and accelerate wear at the beam connections. Six-by-six posts provide a more stable base whether the deck is a small landing or a full rear platform.

  • How does the crew handle a sloped or uneven yard in Bardstown?

    Grade changes affect post height and footing depth, both of which are determined during the initial site visit. Older homes in Bardstown often have established landscaping or existing steps that require the frame to be built around rather than removed.

  • What makes screws a better connection than nails at certain points?

    Screws resist the withdrawal force that develops when decking boards expand and contract over time. At high-stress connections—where the ledger meets the rim joist, for example—a screw holds significantly longer than a nail under repeated loading.

  • How do you check that a finished deck is built to standard?

    Look for consistent fastener spacing across the decking surface, railing posts that show no lateral movement when pushed firmly, and flashing at the house connection that has no visible gaps. A well-built deck also has no noticeable bounce when you walk across the center span.
