Deck Repair & Restoration

Soft boards, wobbly railings and tired finishes fixed, after we've checked the structure underneath, because that's what actually holds the deck up.

Overview

Most decks can be saved. Surface problems (weathered, cupped or split boards, loose railings and failed finishes) are straightforward to fix. The real question is what's happening under the boards: a ledger letting water into the house, rotted joists, or posts sitting on settling blocks.

Every repair starts with a look underneath. If the structure is sound, we replace boards, sister damaged joists, tighten or rebuild railings and refinish. If it isn't, we'll show you what we found and quote a rebuild, never new boards over a bad frame.

Why we don't post prices onlineTwo fences of the same length can differ widely in cost once grade, access, gates and what's in the ground are counted. We would rather give you one accurate written number than a range that doesn't hold up.

Common questions

How do I know if my deck is safe?

Warning signs include soft boards, a wobbly railing, rust at connectors, and gaps where the deck meets the house. We'll inspect it and show you.

Can you resurface my deck with composite?

If the framing is sound and spaced for composite, yes. Older frames often need extra joists first.

How often should a wood deck be sealed?

Every one to two years in North Texas sun.

Do you repair composite decks?

Yes, board replacement, fastener problems and railings.
