The deck repair services we offer are here to identify any problems with your porch and to restore any issues before further use.  We have found that these repairs come from the decks constant exposure to unpredictable weather.  From year to year, our decks experience a constant barrage of sunlight, temperature changes, snow, sleet, and rain.  While most homeowners can see problems on the surface of a deck, these weather conditions can create deeper problems with the suck such as loose fasteners, beam damage, or other deteriorating wood in the structure.

Sometimes, loose wood conditions or other wearing and tearing of the deck goes unnoticed.  Sometimes these things happen slowly over time and no one notices.  Sometimes the deck starts to feel just a little more loose and solid as it did at the beginning.  When these things are noticed, please don't ignore these things.  Give us a call and we will do a complete inspection of your porch to see if anything needs to be replaced.  We will do a thorough evaluation of the decks overall condition and make a plan to proceed.

Sometimes we have found that deck boards can be the first part of the porch that start showing wear and tear.  Even through they are protected with weather treatment, sometimes these boards can get warped, split, or cracked because of the weather.  Removing these damaged boards is a key safety issue.  Removing the boards will also allow us to reinstall the decking and this will create a smoother walking surface into the future.

Another area that needs repairs is railings and stairs on the porch.  These areas are used consistently on the porch and this makes them subtle for overuse.  When these items are worn out or are loose, there is a safety problem created with falling off of the porch.  Because these objects protect people from falling off the porch, please call us immediately to fix these objects.  Each of the rails and supports is designed to withstand a certain load, so please don't fix these objects unless you know the design loads. 

Another area of concern will be the framing system that is located beneath the visible walking surface.  This is the system that is designed and installed to hold the surface you are walking on.  Any problems with this system and you will fall through the deck.  With rain and snow, these systems can become weak over time.  Our process will find the boards that need to be replaced and we will remove them from the deck.  Fixing these members will prevent us from having to replace your entire deck.

We have found that many homeowners think that a minor problem with their deck will result in the complete replacement of the deck.  This is not always the case.  It can be found that if we are able to locate the exact problem with the porch, we can replace just that part.  Instead of just trying to upsell you with the cost of an entire deck, our trustworthy workers will ensure that you only need to replace what is needing to be replaced.

There are many times that the unpredictable Michigan weather can create some challenges for our decks.  This is especially true when rain or snow gets trapped against our wood decking components.  Sometimes we have found that instead of making any changes to the deck itself, we can make changes to the surrounding area to ensure that water will not longer flow towards the decking.

In some of our cases we have determined that there are a variety of issues to take care of.  In these cases, there can be a change to combine deck repairs with upgrades.  For instance, instead of just changing the stairs, we might just have to upgrade them completely.  Maybe, it's not just the entire stair case, sometimes it might just be the stair material.  Based on the many years of experience our contractors have, we will find the solution that fits you best.

Our approach to deck repairs is quite simple.  We identify the problem.  Instead of just fixing the problem, we identify the root cause of the problem.  Instead of just fixing the problem, we will fix the root cause and then also fix any damages caused along the way.  We understand the importance of this structure, so whether it's just a few boards for replacement or something larger like an entire new staircase, you can be assured that we will provide you with a great deck experience again in your backyard.
