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 water damage, 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. Connect with a Local Pro to find out if you need deck repair or a new deck replacement:

"Dominick was very professional, on time and accommoding. When he came to give us a quote, he had pictures of the finished product and took the time to explain how he would complete the installation. At no time did we feel any pressure to use his service. We are very pleased with the finished railing and would highly recommend Dominick to anyone else."
