Deck Repair

If your deck has loose boards, rotting wood, wobbly railings, or excessive wear, repairs might be enough. However, if the structural supports are compromised or a large portion of the deck is deteriorating, a full replacement may be necessary. We conduct thorough inspections to assess safety and provide honest recommendations. Our goal is to salvage what’s still in good condition while ensuring long-term durability.

The most frequent problems include rotting or splintering wood, loose or missing fasteners, unstable railings, sagging beams, and water damage. Decks exposed to Georgia’s humid climate often suffer from moisture damage and mold growth. Our team addresses these issues with high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship to restore your deck’s strength and appearance.

Minor rot can sometimes be treated and sealed, but if the rot has spread, the affected boards must be fully replaced. If the structural posts or beams are rotting, the entire deck’s safety could be compromised. We inspect the extent of the damage and use high-quality, treated lumber or composite materials to ensure your deck remains sturdy for years to come.

The cost depends on the extent of damage, materials needed, and labor required. Minor repairs like replacing a few boards or tightening fasteners are affordable, while fixing structural issues or extensive wood rot can be more costly. We provide transparent, itemized estimates so homeowners understand their options and can budget accordingly.

Many people assume that if a deck looks fine on the surface, it must be structurally sound. However, underlying issues like rotting support beams, hidden water damage, or corroded fasteners can weaken the entire structure. Regular inspections help catch these problems early, preventing costly repairs or even complete deck failure.

To keep your deck in top condition, seal and stain wood surfaces every 1-2 years, keep it free of debris, and check for signs of wear regularly. Proper drainage and ventilation are crucial to preventing moisture damage. If you have a composite deck, periodic cleaning with mild soap and water helps prevent mold growth. We offer maintenance guidance tailored to your specific deck material.

Loose railings are often caused by worn-out fasteners, wood rot, or improper installation. A wobbly railing is a safety hazard and should be repaired immediately. We inspect the railing’s attachment points, reinforce loose sections, and replace any compromised materials to restore safety and stability.

In many cases, individual boards can be replaced without redoing the entire deck. However, if there are widespread issues like rotting joists or unstable framing, a more extensive repair may be necessary. We evaluate the condition of your deck and suggest the most cost-effective and durable solution.

Georgia’s hot, humid summers and occasional heavy rains can accelerate wood decay, promote mold growth, and cause warping or cracking. Without proper maintenance, decks can deteriorate faster. We use weather-resistant materials and sealants to protect your deck from extreme conditions and ensure longevity.

Yes! Many homeowners choose to upgrade railings, switch to composite decking, or add features like built-in lighting or seating during repairs. If your deck is structurally sound but needs aesthetic improvements, we can enhance it with modern, low-maintenance materials to increase durability and curb appeal.
