Fix soft boards, loose railings, failing ledgers and sagging frames, then restore the surface so a tired deck becomes safe and handsome again.
Decks live a hard life in the sun, rain and freeze and thaw of Middle Tennessee. Boards cup, fasteners loosen, posts rot at the base and railings wobble. Many owners put off a fix until it feels unsafe. A careful inspection tells you what needs repair, what needs replacement and what can simply be cleaned and refinished.
Your specialist probes posts, joists, ledger and boards, tests railings and checks footings, flashing and fasteners. Findings are written in plain language with photos. Repairs may include replacing boards, sistering joists, replacing posts, re-flashing the ledger, tightening or rebuilding railings and renewing hardware, followed by cleaning and a stain or sealer if you want one. Repairs are easier to price once the problems are marked. We tag loose boards, soft spots and rusted hardware during the inspection so you see exactly what is covered and what can wait for later.
The structure beneath the boards decides whether a deck can be saved, so framing, footings and the ledger are inspected, not just the top.
Soft boards, posts and joists are replaced or sistered with sound lumber and strong connections.
Flashing, drainage and board gaps that let water sit are corrected, so the repairs last.
Cleaning, sanding and sealing or staining bring back color and protect the wood.
