Mr. Handyman of Woodstown, Swedesboro and Sewell repairs sagging decks and cracked patios throughout Gloucester County, from loose boards on a Kings Highway colonial to a heaving paver patio out back. If your deck bounces when you cross it, or your patio slabs have shifted after another freeze-thaw winter, our Swedesboro handyman crew rebuilds it to hold. We check ledgers, joists, footings, and railings against New Jersey's building code before we swap a single board, so the fix outlasts the next storm season. You get a written price before work starts, not a guess after the fact.

How We Repair Decks and Patios in Swedesboro
Most of our deck calls in Swedesboro start the same way: a homeowner notices bounce underfoot or a railing that wiggles more than it used to. We pull up a board or two near the ledger first, because that's where rot shows up earliest on older Kings Highway homes where the flashing has worn thin. Cracked or split joists get sistered or replaced outright. Loose ledger bolts should be reset with new lag screws and flashing tape, not just tightened, since a leaking ledger connection is the single most common cause of a deck that starts to lean.
New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code sets the baseline for any repair that touches the deck's structure. Footings tied to the house need to sit at least 36 inches below grade to stay ahead of frost heave, and any deck standing 30 inches or higher off the ground needs a guardrail at least 36 inches tall with no gap wide enough to pass a 4-inch sphere. We rebuild railings and stair sections to that spec, whether the original deck predates the code update or not. Gloucester County requires a permit for most attached deck work, and we pull it before the crew shows up.
Patio repair runs a different path. Paver patios in low spots around Swedesboro and Sewell tend to settle unevenly once a section of base washes out, so we lift, re-level, and reset the affected pavers rather than patch around them. Concrete patios that have heaved or cracked after a hard winter usually need the slab section removed and repoured, with control joints cut in to keep the next freeze-thaw cycle from splitting the new pour the same way. Mr. Handyman of Woodstown, Swedesboro and Sewell handles both jobs in a single visit when a homeowner has both a deck and a patio needing attention, saving a second service call and a second trip charge.

Our crew members are background-checked, fully insured employees, not subcontractors pulled from a job board, and they show up in a marked van at the time we scheduled, not sometime in an afternoon window.
