BeforeThe Types of Deck Repairs We Can Do
Is your deck's problem not listed here? Reach out and tell us what's going on and we'll let you know if we can help.
-
Rotted Posts and Footings
Posts sitting in soil or on failed footings get replaced and set properly, on concrete and above grade so the rot doesn't come back.
-
Ledger and Flashing
The ledger is where most deck failures start. If the flashing is wrong or missing, water has been getting into your rim joist for years.
-
Joists and Framing
Soft joists, undersized spans and missing hangers. Deck rebuilding at the frame level is what makes the rest of the repair worth doing.
-
Boards and Decking
Cupped, split and soft boards swapped out. If more than about a third are going, deck resurfacing the whole surface usually costs less per board.
-
Railings and Stairs
Railings that move when you lean on them are a code issue, not a cosmetic one. Stairs get the same treatment: solid stringers, even rise.
-
Hardware and Fasteners
Rusted nails and hangers replaced with hot-dipped or stainless. In Vermont the fastener usually fails before the wood does.
What Makes Us Different From Other Deck Repair Contractors
-
Itemized, Not a Lump Sum
Every repair estimate names the specific boards, posts and hardware coming out, so you can see exactly what you're paying for before we start.
-
An Honest Read on the Frame
Most contractors quote the teardown because it prices easier. If your frame is sound we'll say so, and price the repair against the rebuild.
-
We Take the Small Jobs
A few soft boards and a loose railing is still work worth doing properly. We have no job minimum pushing you toward a rebuild you don't need.

Common Deck Repair Questions
How much does a deck repair cost compared to a full rebuild?
Most of the money in a deck is the structure underneath. If the posts, footings and joists are solid, replacing the surface and the hardware brings the deck back for far less than a teardown. We price both and show you the two numbers side by side.
What causes most deck failures?
The ledger is the board bolted to the house, and if it was flashed badly or not at all, water has been running into your rim joist for years. It's the first thing we look at, and it's often the real reason a deck feels wrong.
Do soft boards mean the whole deck has to be replaced?
Surface boards take the weather first, so they fail first. Soft decking on a sound frame is a resurfacing job. Soft joists underneath are a different conversation, which is why the answer comes after going under the deck rather than before.
How soon can you start a deck repair?
Structural work can go ahead in most conditions, but anything involving fasteners into wet framing is better waiting a day. We would rather move a start date than build a repair into damp wood.
