Is it Time to Repair Your Deck?
It can be difficult to know when your deck needs either repair or replacing without a professional assessment. A Local Pro is qualified to repair or replace your deck with new joists, railings, floor boards, hardware, and more. The following signs are the most common reasons for deck repair or replacement:
✔ Rotten Joists
Softened, decayed wood that shows signs of wear or water damage is an indication that your joists are rotten and will likely need replacing. Connect with a qualified Local Pro to discuss options for your deck repair needs.
✔ Loose Railings
Loose deck railings indicate the need for rail replacement or securing to prevent potential accidents. Hire a Local Pro and take the hassle out of your deck railing repairs.
✔ Unsecure/bowing Boards
Over time, planks in your deck can become weathered, resulting in bowed, warped or unsecured boards - clear signs that deck repair is needed. A licensed and insured Local Pro near you can help!
✔ Improper Concrete Piles
Deck posts should be anchored in concrete but over time standing water, leaks, and excess moisture can result in the need to replace concrete piles that support your deck. Connect with a Local Pro for a qualified assessment and results.
✔ Uneven/sloping Deck
A sloping or sagging deck could indicate a potential termite problem, water damage, or the need to replace aging planks on your deck to properly support your weight. A Local Pro has the tools to professionally assess your needs and repair your deck.
✔ Rusted or Broken Deck hardware
Deck fasteners such as nails, screws and anchors can become loosened or corroded, further compromising your deck’s structural integrity. Contact a Local Pro to evaluate the extent of repairs you’ll need.

Deck Designs Options
Multi-level Decks
- Optimize space and accommodate more guests with a thoughtfully designed multi-level deck that’s durable year-round
- A multi-level deck can be a great way to connect a sunroom, balcony, or second floor to the outdoors for added functionality
- Sloping yards or homes on a steep incline can also benefit from a multi-level deck that expands your living space and offers more attractive views of your surroundings
Deck Railings
- Do you want added privacy or a striking style that compliments the architectural features of your home? Deck railings are your opportunity to personalize your deck with a sense of style as well as functionality
- Deck railings offer endless possibilities for adding an element of flair to your deck while providing added safety
- A Local Pro can help you choose from a range of deck rail options including drink rails, craftsman railings, glass panels, wrought iron, web panels, or cable railings
Deck Inlays
- Deck inlays are an affordable and popular way to personalize your deck space. Attractive deck inlays can enhance the appeal of your deck and provide a strong focal point for your outdoor décor
- Contrasting wood tones, geometric patterns, or an inlay medallion can be created from a template or customized to give your deck flooring added depth and dimension
- Your Local Pro Deck Builder can help you choose a deck inlay or create something unique
Built-in Deck Seating
- If you don’t have patio furniture or don’t want the additional hassle of storing patio furniture in winter, a deck with built-in seating offers the ideal solution
- Wrap-around seating, corner seating, curved bench seating or a built-in daybed are just some of the built-in seating options your Local Pro Deck builder can create for you
- A built-in bench can also serve as storage space
Deck Stairs & Ramps
- Deck stairs can be functional and minimalist or stylish and elaborate. Planning access points to your deck is crucial to determining the best location for stairs or a ramp
- Straight or spiral? L-shaped or U-shaped? Stair configurations should be carefully planned based on functionality and accessibility. The size and location of the landing pad will also impact the design of your stairs, including the angle and number of stair treads and risers required
- A ramp for accessibility can also be integrated into your deck design with help from a qualified Local Pro
Deck Pergola
- For those extremely hot days you’ll need adequate shade for your guests while grilling and entertaining on your deck
- Available in wood, vinyl, metal, or composite, a pergola can be both decorative and functional by providing cover from rain and excessive sun exposure. A sloped roof on your pergola allows rain and snow to drain more easily
- Your Local Pro Deck Builder can integrate a pergola into your deck design based on your budget and style preferences
Privacy Screen
- Large or small, decks can be an intimate outdoor space for close friends and family to share memorable experiences in privacy. A privacy screen is an easy way to secure your deck from prying neighbors while adding flair to its design
- Privacy screens in wood, metal, or vinyl are available in a wide range of styles to make your deck more visually interesting
- A Local Pro Deck Builder can help you choose a privacy screen that compliments your décor and protects your privacy outdoors
Deck Drainage System
- A drainage system is essential to keep your deck dry and minimize the effect of rain, snow, or spills. Multi-level decks in particular benefit from an under-deck drainage system that can be installed to prevent water seepage
- With a reliable drainage system in place, you can safely install additional amenities such as ceiling lights, a fan, or even a mounted television.
- By properly draining water from your deck area, you’ll extend the life of your deck and ensure it stays relatively dry

Reviews
I am very pleased with the material that was picked out for this project. That being said the matte black railing and tempered glass panels. Bromfields fence and deck installed it professionally. My neighbors just love the look and one asked for a quote.

The Pro came to the site gave a estimate and as promised came and completed the job. Few custom work had to be done and he explained the cost and executed the job accordingly to our satisfaction.

Kevin is a great, reliable, and honest contractor. He does what he says he will. The work is high quality and reasonably priced, both on the materials as well as labour.

AIM's staff were a pleasure to deal with. Fast response to our request for a quote and they actually came out and looked at what we wanted to do (most others didn’t). Thorough and competitive quote with some useful suggestions. We are very happy with the finished result.

The contractor C.R.G. did a wonderful job at putting some tiles on our deck. The original colour came and was horrible - not what showed in the store; so had to be returned and reordered. This made the contractor have to fit us in to his busy schedule; but it's now done and we love it. Hope it's not too slippery when cold and has snow or ice on top.

We had three recommendations for a contractor to rebuild our deck. Tyson from Chartrand Contracting was the only one to contact us. He came over when he said he would be here, gave us the estimate the same day, started the work when he said he would, and kept us informed when he had a problem with the supplier of the materials. His clean-up was impeccable, not a nail or a bit of sawdust was left behind. Good work!
