Deck Repair & Restoration

Signs Your Deck Needs Repair

Most deck problems start small but grow quickly if ignored. Loose boards, wobbly railings, or soft spots in the decking are clear warning signs that repairs are needed. Popped nails, cracked boards, or areas where the finish has worn away also indicate your deck needs attention. Some issues are harder to spot, like rot in the supporting structure or corroded fasteners. That's why we recommend having your deck inspected every few years, especially if it's more than 10 years old. Our inspection service identifies problems before they become safety hazards or require expensive replacements. Catching issues early saves money and keeps your family safe.

Our Repair and Restoration Process

We start every repair project with a thorough inspection of your entire deck structure. This includes checking the foundation posts, beams, joists, decking boards, railings, and stairs. We look for rot, insect damage, loose connections, and code violations. After the inspection, we provide a detailed report showing what needs repair and why. We explain your options and give you an honest assessment of whether repairs make sense or if replacement is more cost-effective. For decks worth saving, we handle everything from structural repairs to surface restoration. Here's what we address:

• Free on-site consultations and accurate estimates
• 3D renderings and detailed plans before construction begins
• Expert guidance on materials, layouts, and features
• Transparent pricing with no hidden fees
• Professional installation by experienced crews

Structural vs Surface Repairs

Structural repairs involve the framework that supports your deck. This includes posts, beams, joists, and ledger boards attached to your house. These components must be solid and properly secured to keep your deck safe. We replace rotted or damaged structural members, reinforce weak connections, and upgrade attachments that don't meet current building codes. Surface repairs focus on what you see and walk on, like decking boards, railings, and stairs. We replace damaged boards, tighten loose railings, and rebuild stairs that have become unsafe. Sometimes we can repair individual boards, but often replacing a section gives better long-term results than patching.

Restoration Services

If your deck's structure is sound but the surface looks worn, restoration might be all you need. We sand down rough, weathered wood to reveal fresh material underneath. This process removes splinters, evens out the surface, and prepares the wood for new finish. After sanding, we apply quality stain and sealant that protects against sun, water, and wear. A properly restored deck can look as good as new and last many more years. Restoration costs much less than replacement and can typically be completed in just a few days. We also restore railings, clean and seal composite decking, and refresh painted surfaces.
