Frequently Asked Questions
We check for rot by probing the board with a screwdriver. Soft spots, sponginess, or boards that crumble under light pressure need replacement. Boards that are solid but lifting or loose can be refastened.
We source pressure-treated lumber to match the existing deck profile when possible. For composite decking, a match depends on whether the original material is still available.
A targeted repair of loose boards and a railing section takes two to four hours. More extensive repairs with joist work or multiple sections take longer and we will scope it before starting.
We give an honest assessment. If the frame and joists are solid, repairing the decking surface and railings is far less involved than replacement and extends the life of the deck significantly.
Yes. We repair both wood and composite deck surfaces, railings, and stairs. Composite material replacement depends on matching availability.
Probe the board surface with a screwdriver or your finger. Weathered wood is hard and gray. Rotted wood is soft, spongy, or caves in under light pressure. We probe every suspect board and give you a clear count of what needs replacement before you commit.
New pressure-treated lumber will weather to a similar gray over time but will look different initially. If the deck is going to be stained after repairs, the color match is not an issue since the full surface gets treated.
Staining and sealing can be added to the scope. New lumber needs to dry for several weeks before stain is applied. We tell you the right timing. Doing repairs first and staining shortly after is the efficient sequence.
Yes. Clear the deck surface so we can walk and probe every board without moving things mid-work.

"Jacob is the best ever. He made my dream come true by installing my catwalk for my cat to the ceiling when no other contractor could handle the job. I was extremely impressed by his expertise and he is definitely someone you can trust. It's hard to come by professionals who are also kind and Jacob is just stellar. I even paid him extra because he did such an amazing job."
