Deck Repair

Experts in the Care & Maintenance of Virtually All Exterior Surfaces

Wood deck repair is an essential maintenance task to ensure the longevity and safety of your outdoor space. Over time, weather exposure, moisture, and foot traffic can cause wood to rot, splinter, or warp, making the deck both unsightly and potentially hazardous. Common issues that may require attention include loose or damaged boards, deteriorated railings, or rusted nails and screws. Regular inspection is key to identifying these problems early and preventing more costly repairs down the line. If the damage is limited to a few boards, you can replace them individually, while more extensive damage might require sanding, staining, or even rebuilding certain sections of the deck.

The repair process typically begins with cleaning the deck to remove dirt, grime, and mold, which can exacerbate the damage. Once cleaned, the wood should be inspected for signs of rot or structural failure. If rotting is found, the affected boards or beams should be replaced. After repairs, it’s important to treat the wood with a weather-resistant sealant or stain to protect it from further damage caused by the elements. Regular maintenance, including resealing every few years, will help preserve the deck’s appearance and structural integrity, extending its life and keeping your outdoor area safe and enjoyable.
