Deck Repair

Building a safe and long-lasting deck requires careful planning, a good choice of materials, and attention to detail, especially structural details which are often overlooked by both client and developers. Modern building codes focus heavily on important details like ledgers and railings, and they're not always enforced. As a whole, it's a smart option to familiarize yourself with the provided materials and techniques. Constructing a deck may not be as simple as you think; you would require a great deal of knowledge and skill. If you may be considering a new deck for your home or office, call us for a quote today. We specialise and offer beautiful new deck builds as well as maintenance, treatments and repairs of all types.

Isn’t cheaper to just replace it?

There's no need to rebuild the whole deck area unless it's really old and in poor shape. Aside from all the new materials available, the actual design and construction, as well as the labour costs, replacing the entire deck would be more expensive for you. It would be more sensible and realistic to replace the damaged sections of the wooden deck panels.

How do you repair a Deck?

There are numerous deck repair methods available; however, we must first assess the damage and root cause. Wood can crack and eventually break over time, which is normal; however, if you treat your wooden deck on a regular basis, you can avoid such damage for several years. To begin with, wooden panel repairs, fill in any minor cracks or rough surfaces with trusted wood filler, then stain the repaired section to help blend the tones. If the wood is rotten, it will need more attention; wooden panels may be removed and restored by professionals; however, keep in mind that the wood will require additional treatments and staining to achieve the desired finish.

Methods used

A ledger that is bolted or lagged to the home's band joist supports most of the residential decks on one side. This connection is important because it can cause a deck to collapse if it is faulty in any way. we make certain the band joist is properly pressure handled and nailed to the sole plate above and the sill or top plate below. Its greatly advised to have your deck pressure-treated, this means that the wood is put in a depressurized storage tank with a preservative that removes the oxygen.

Preventive measures

Taking care of your wood is the first step in aiding premature damage or wear to your deck. We offer solutions that will assist you to maintain your deck for many years to come. Wooden decks are made to last outdoors but to make sure it does, they require any care and preventative measures to prolong its life.
