Complete Deck Repair Services

Structural Repairs & Reinforcement

We assess the framework, posts, beams, joists, and connections. If the ledger board lacks proper flashing or if fasteners are corroded, we’ll correct it so the structure carries weight safely and sheds water as designed.

Board, Railing & Stair Replacement

Cracked or cupped boards, wobbly rails, and uneven treads are common. We replace damaged components, tighten connections, and bring guard and handrail details back to solid, dependable condition.

Fasteners, Flashing & Hardware

Hidden issues often start where metal meets wood. We swap rusted screws, re‑set popped nails, add protective flashing, and use exterior‑grade, code‑appropriate hardware for long‑term durability.

Stain, Seal & Protection (Deck Maintenance)

Your deck maintenance plan may include cleaning, brightening, spot‑sanding, and applying the right stain or clear sealer for our climate. Keeping water out and UV rays at bay extends your deck’s life and keeps it looking fresh.

Material Upgrades

Want less upkeep? We can replace high‑wear sections with composite or PVC decking, refresh rail systems, and recommend low‑maintenance options that match your home’s style.

Wood Rot Repair Done Right

How to Spot Rot

Soft, crumbly spots; dark staining near fasteners; peeling finish that never quite dries; or a “springy” feel underfoot are classic signs that moisture has been trapped in the wood.

Our Repair Approach

We track the moisture source first, missing flashing, clogged gutters above the deck, planters that hold water, or grade issues below. Then we remove decayed wood, treat adjacent areas, and rebuild with properly rated lumber and moisture‑smart details so the problem doesn’t return.

Preventing Rot from Coming Back

Good airflow, correct board spacing, sealed end‑cuts, and routine cleaning all matter. Pair that with seasonal inspections, and you’ll dramatically reduce future rot risk while protecting your investment.

Patio Repair & Refresh

Paver Re‑Leveling & Joint Re‑Sand

Sinking or heaving pavers create trip hazards and puddles. We lift, add or regrade base, then reset and sweep in polymeric sand to lock joints and keep weeds at bay.

Concrete Crack Repair & Sealing

Hairline cracks are normal; wider cracks and spalling need attention. We clean, fill, and seal to minimize water intrusion and freeze‑thaw damage.

Drainage Corrections

If water sits near your foundation or under your deck, problems follow. We troubleshoot downspouts, slopes, and grading so water moves away from your home and hardscape.

Gentle Cleaning & Sealing

Right‑pressure washing (not too aggressive) followed by sealing helps concrete and pavers stay cleaner, longer, and helps colors pop without harming the surface.

Deck Maintenance Tips for Denver, NC

Seasonal Check (Spring & Fall)

Do a quick look at boards, rails, stairs, and hardware. Tighten any loose connections, clear debris between boards, and confirm that downspouts aren’t discharging onto the deck.

Clean Before You Seal

Sweep and wash with a deck‑safe cleaner; spot‑sand rough patches. Sealing or staining over dirt traps moisture, clean surfaces last longer and look better.

Protect High‑Wear Zones

Rugs with breathable backings help at doorways and grill stations. Move planters occasionally so moisture doesn’t linger in one spot.

Watch the Little Signs

Rising nails, gray fuzz on wood, or a soft spot after rain means it’s time to call us for a quick inspection before minor issues grow.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need repair or a full replacement?

If the structure (posts, beams, joists, ledger) is sound, targeted repairs plus cleaning and sealing can bring a worn deck or patio back to life. When rot or movement is widespread, or the layout no longer fits your needs, we’ll outline both repair and replacement options so you can choose what’s best for your budget and timeline.

What does deck maintenance include, and how often should I do it?

Plan on a seasonal inspection in spring or fall, gentle washing as needed, and sealing or staining every 2–3 years depending on sun and foot traffic. High‑exposure sections may need touch‑ups sooner. We can set a maintenance rhythm that keeps your space looking great year‑round.

Can you handle wood rot repair and fix the moisture source?

Yes. We remove decayed wood, treat adjacent areas, and rebuild with appropriate materials. Just as important, we address the cause, like missing flashing, standing water, or clogged gutters, so the repair lasts and rot doesn’t return.
