If it can wait,
it should.
If it can't, call.
Most repairs aren't urgent. A board that's gone grey can wait until spring; a fence that's leaning a degree or two is mostly aesthetic. We'll tell you which category you're in — that's free advice over the phone.
But some things shouldn't wait. A loose railing on a second-storey deck is a fall away from trouble. A picket missing from a fence is a dog away from the road. Use the list to your right as a quick triage — anything you recognize, give us a call.
— Forty years of looking at decks. We've seen yours before.
Common warning signs — and what we'd do
Deck repair &
maintenance.
The bulk of our work. Decks weather hard out here, and a little upkeep every few years keeps yours sound and looking right instead of heading for a teardown. We replace what's gone bad and steady up what's gone loose.
- Board replacementRotten, cracked, or warped boards swapped out.
- Railing repairsWobbly railings repaired or replaced outright.
- Handrails & balustersNew handrails and balusters installed.
- Tighten fastenersRe-screw and replace popped nails and screws.
- Reinforce weak decksFirm up wobbly, sagging structures.
Fence repair.
Fences shift and sag over the years — posts work loose, pickets crack, panels give out. If yours is leaning, sagging, or missing pickets, most of the time we can set it right without rebuilding the whole run, matching the existing wood where we can.
- Leaning fencesPosts dug out, re-plumbed, and set solid again.
- Broken picketsCracked or missing pickets matched and replaced.
- Broken panelsDamaged sections rebuilt to match the rest.
Most repairs
are one visit.
Bigger jobs need a look first. For most repairs, though, this is the whole sequence — start to finish, and you're dealing with the same person the whole way.
