DECK REPLACEMENT & REPAIR

Repair, Resurface or Rebuild

Massachusetts weather is hard on decks. Years of rain, snow and freeze-thaw cycles can rot boards and joists, loosen railings and corrode fasteners, especially where the deck attaches to the house.

We start with a careful inspection of the structure, not just the surface. If the frame is sound, resurfacing with new decking and railings can save money. If the ledger, joists, posts or footings are failing, we explain the risks and quote a full replacement built to current code.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Warning signs include soft or spongy boards, rot in joists or posts, a ledger pulling away from the house, rusted connectors, wobbly railings and footings that have shifted. We inspect the structure and give you an honest recommendation.

Can I put new composite decking on my old frame?

Only if the frame is in good condition and the joist spacing works for the new decking. Composite often needs closer joist spacing than wood. We check this before recommending resurfacing.

Is it cheaper to repair or replace a deck?

Small repairs and resurfacing are usually less expensive. When the structure has widespread rot or does not meet code, replacement is often the better long-term investment and the safer choice.

Do deck repairs need a permit?

Simple board replacement usually does not, but structural repairs, resurfacing and full replacements often do. Requirements vary by town, and we handle the permit when one is needed.
