Deck Repair & Restoration

When to Repair Your Deck

Not every deck problem means you need a complete deck replacement. Many issues can be fixed with targeted repairs that cost far less than starting over. The key is catching problems early before they spread.

We see a lot of decks in Vallejo that just need some attention. Loose boards, faded stain, wobbly railings, or a few rotted joists don't necessarily mean the whole structure is failing. With the right repairs, your deck can look and function like new again.

During our inspection, we'll be honest about what you're dealing with. If repair makes sense, we'll recommend it. If your deck is beyond repair and needs rebuilding, we'll tell you that too. Our goal is to give you the most cost-effective solution for your situation.

Common Deck Problems We Fix

Here are the most common deck issues we handle for Vallejo homeowners:

• Rotted or damaged deck boards and joists
• Loose or failing railings and balusters
• Structural issues with posts, beams, or ledger boards
• Splintered or warped wood surface boards
• Rusted or corroded fasteners and hardware
• Water damage from poor drainage or flashing
• Cracked or settling concrete footings

Each of these problems can be addressed individually without tearing down your entire deck. We replace only what needs replacing and preserve what's still solid. This approach saves you money while ensuring your deck is safe and functional.

Our Restoration Approach

Restoration goes beyond simple repairs. It's about bringing an older deck back to its original beauty. This typically includes structural repairs where needed, replacing damaged boards, sanding down rough surfaces, and applying fresh stain or sealant.

For wood decks, restoration can be dramatic. A deck that looks tired and worn can transform into something that looks brand new. We start by thoroughly cleaning the surface, then repair any structural issues. Next comes sanding to remove splinters and create a smooth surface. Finally, we apply quality stain or sealant in your chosen color.

Vallejo's climate is actually great for wood decks if you maintain them properly. Regular staining and sealing protects against moisture and UV damage. If it's been years since your deck was treated, restoration is the perfect time to get back on track.

Safety First: Structural Inspections

Before any repair or restoration work begins, we conduct a thorough safety inspection. We're looking at more than just surface-level problems. The ledger board connection to your house, joist hangers, post anchors, and railing strength all get checked.

Older decks in Vallejo sometimes don't meet current building codes. Deck codes have gotten stricter over the years, especially for railings and stairs. If we find code violations during repairs, we'll bring those areas up to current standards. Your safety is always our priority.

We document everything we find and provide you with a detailed report. You'll know exactly what's wrong, why it matters, and what it will cost to fix. No surprises, no upselling. Just honest assessment and fair pricing.
