Default Replacing a redwood deck

Can someone tell me if a concrete company can pour a nice deck and steps
after a home has been built. I know it is easy to do in a new home, but
this is not a new home.

I just want to be sure it looks nice as I am quite fussy.


"Can" isn't the same as "will"...

Sure, it can be done; the trick will be finding a competent crew that
will do a job up to what you expect. Get references; check up on them
including going to look at some of their work would be my recommendation.


Would you go the concrete route, or stick with TREX?

That's your pick based on what you want it to look like. If the
moisture issues are cured, it's possible the wood deck could be an
attractive feature whereas a poured concrete deck/porch/steps is poured
concrete. Of course, there are ways to gussy-up that as well, but I
think it's essentially a choice of what you want the appearance to be
and what the budget is.
