Deck Repair & Restoration

Signs Your Deck Needs Repair

Your deck takes a beating from weather, foot traffic, and time. Even well-built decks need maintenance and repairs eventually. The key is catching problems early before small issues turn into expensive replacements.

We see a lot of damaged decks in Hayward. The combination of hot, dry summers and wet winters is tough on wood. If your deck has loose boards, wobbly railings, or visible rot, it is time to call in the pros. Waiting too long can turn a simple repair into a full deck replacement project.

Here are the most common signs that your deck needs attention:

• Loose or broken boards that shift when you walk on them
• Popped nails or screws sticking up from the surface
• Soft spots that feel spongy underfoot
• Cracked or splintering wood that catches on bare feet
• Wobbly railings that move when you lean on them
• Faded or peeling stain that no longer protects the wood
• Visible mold, mildew, or dark stains on boards

If you notice any of these issues, give us a call. We will inspect your deck and let you know exactly what needs to be fixed. Sometimes a few repairs are all it takes to add years to your deck's life.

What We Fix

We handle all types of deck repairs, from small fixes to major restoration work. Our team has seen it all, and we know how to make lasting repairs that blend seamlessly with your existing deck.

Board replacement is one of our most common services. We can match your existing wood species and cut new boards to fit perfectly. If just a few boards are damaged, replacing them is much more affordable than rebuilding the whole deck.

We also fix structural issues like rotted joists, loose ledger boards, and failing support posts. These problems are serious because they affect the safety and stability of your entire deck. We will shore up the structure and make sure everything meets current building codes.

Railing repairs are another specialty. Loose railings are dangerous, especially if you have kids or elderly family members using the deck. We can repair or replace railing sections, balusters, and posts. If your old railings are beyond repair, we can install new ones that match your deck style.

Deck Restoration Services

Sometimes your deck structure is solid, but the surface looks tired and worn. That is where deck restoration comes in. We can bring back the beauty of your wood deck with a complete refinishing process.

First, we power wash the entire deck to remove dirt, old stain, and mildew. This deep cleaning reveals the natural wood grain underneath. Then we sand rough spots and splinters to create a smooth surface. We also check for any loose nails or screws and secure them.

Next comes staining and sealing. We use high-quality products that protect your deck from moisture, UV rays, and wear. You can choose from transparent stains that show the wood grain, semi-transparent options that add color, or solid stains that completely cover the wood. Whatever you prefer, we will make sure your deck looks amazing.

A proper restoration can make a 10-year-old deck look almost new again. It is a smart investment that protects your deck and improves your home's outdoor appeal. Many Hayward homeowners choose to restore their existing deck rather than build a new one, saving thousands of dollars in the process.

Repair or Replace: How to Decide

Not every damaged deck can be saved. If more than 30% of your deck boards need replacement, or if the structural supports are rotted, rebuilding might make more sense financially. We will always give you an honest assessment.

Age is another factor. If your deck is over 20 years old and showing widespread damage, replacement often costs only slightly more than extensive repairs. Plus, you get the benefit of modern materials, better design, and updated safety features.

We offer free inspections and estimates for all deck repair projects. We will examine your deck thoroughly, explain what we find, and give you options with clear pricing. Whether you need minor repairs or a complete restoration, we will help you make the right choice for your home and budget.
