Deck Repair Contractor in the East Bay
Decks are exposed to weather year-round, and deterioration in framing, posts, or connections can affect safety. We repair damaged components after inspecting the deck’s condition.
Overview
Deck repairs can include replacing deteriorated decking, joists, beams, posts, stairs, and railings, as well as improving the connection between the deck and the house.
The appropriate repair depends on the deck’s condition and applicable structural and safety requirements. In some cases, damage is extensive enough that rebuilding is more practical than repair.
Common warning signs
- Soft, cracked, or rotted deck boards
- Loose or wobbly railings
- Bouncy or sagging deck surfaces
- Rusted connectors or fasteners
- Damaged posts or footings
- Gaps where the deck meets the house
