How To Replace Rotten Deck Supports (the easy way!)

If your deck support posts are showing signs of rot but you don't want to replace the entire deck framing, then this method might be for you! This is a deck I was working on where the posts were set directly into the dirt with no cement base (note: a poured concrete footer would be ideal). We cut away the old posts and propped up the deck to level using a 12 ton bottle jack. While the deck was raised, we put a concrete footer in place under the deck post (ensuring it was level) and cut a 4x4 post just a little longer than the length needed to be (to allow for settling). The finished product turned out great and is way stronger than what was there before.
