How do I know if my deck can be repaired or needs to be replaced?

It depends on the extent of the damage. If only a few boards or railings are damaged, repair is usually the best option. However, if more than 25 percent of the deck is rotted or structurally compromised, replacement may be more cost-effective. We will inspect your deck and provide an honest assessment.

How often should I have my deck inspected?

You should have your deck professionally inspected every two to three years, or sooner if you notice any problems. Regular inspections can catch small issues before they become big, expensive repairs. You should also inspect your deck yourself at least once a year.

How long does deck restoration take?

Most deck restoration projects take one to three days, depending on the size of the deck and the scope of work. Simple repairs and refinishing can often be completed in a day, while more extensive restoration projects may take longer. We will provide you with a timeline before we start work.

When Your Deck Needs Attention

Your deck takes a beating from the California sun, rain, and daily use. Over time, even the best-built decks can develop problems like loose boards, wobbly railings, or faded finishes. The good news is that many deck issues can be fixed without tearing everything down and starting over. With professional repair and restoration, you can extend the life of your deck and make it safe and beautiful again.

We have been repairing decks in Jurupa Valley for years, and we have seen it all. Whether you have a few loose boards or extensive rot damage, we can assess your deck and recommend the right solution. Sometimes a simple repair and fresh finish is all you need. Other times, replacing damaged sections makes more sense. Either way, we will give you honest advice and quality work.

Common Deck Problems We Fix

Deck problems usually start small but can become serious safety hazards if ignored. Loose boards can cause trips and falls. Rotted support posts can lead to structural failure. Rusted fasteners can weaken connections. The sooner you address these issues, the easier and less expensive the repairs will be.

Signs Your Deck Needs Repair

•Loose or squeaky boards that move when you walk on them
•Soft or spongy spots that indicate rot or water damage
•Wobbly or unstable railings that do not feel secure
•Cracked, splintered, or warped deck boards
•Faded or peeling stain or paint finish
•Rusted nails or screws that are pulling out

When you contact us for deck repair in Jurupa Valley, we start with a thorough inspection. We will check the structural integrity of your deck, looking at joists, beams, posts, and connections. We will also examine the deck surface, railings, and stairs. After the inspection, we will explain what needs to be fixed and provide you with a clear estimate.

Our Restoration Process

Deck restoration goes beyond simple repairs. It involves bringing your entire deck back to like-new condition. This might include replacing damaged boards, reinforcing the structure, upgrading railings and stairs, and applying a fresh finish. The goal is to give you a deck that looks great and will last for many more years.

We start by removing any damaged or rotted wood and replacing it with new materials. If your deck has structural issues, we will reinforce joists, beams, and support posts to meet current building codes. We can also upgrade your deck railings and stairs for improved safety and appearance. Once the structural work is complete, we prepare the surface and apply a professional-grade stain or sealant.

Staining and Sealing

A quality stain or sealant protects your deck from moisture, UV rays, and wear. It also brings out the natural beauty of the wood and gives your deck a fresh, clean look. We offer a range of stain colors and finishes, from transparent stains that show the wood grain to solid colors that provide maximum coverage. Our deck staining and sealing services are designed to give you long-lasting protection and beauty.

When Replacement Makes More Sense

Sometimes a deck is too far gone to repair cost-effectively. If your deck has extensive rot, severe structural damage, or outdated construction, replacement might be the better option. We will always be upfront about whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation. Our goal is to help you make the best decision for your home and budget.
