Bring your worn deck back to life with professional repair and restoration services that extend its lifespan for years to come.
Your deck takes a beating from Georgia weather. Sun, rain, humidity, and temperature swings all take their toll over time. Even well-built decks eventually show signs of wear. Maybe you have noticed loose boards, fading color, or spots that feel soft when you walk on them.
The good news is that many deck problems can be fixed without replacing the entire structure. We have repaired hundreds of decks throughout Albany, and we can usually save you a lot of money compared to a full replacement. The key is catching problems early before they get worse.
We offer free deck inspections where we check everything from the foundation posts to the surface boards. You will get an honest assessment of what needs fixing and what can wait. We will never push you toward unnecessary work, and we will always explain your options clearly.
Every deck is different, but we see certain issues over and over. Here are the most common problems we repair:
Some repairs are simple and quick. Others require more extensive work. We will walk you through exactly what needs to happen and why. You deserve to understand what you are paying for and how it will improve your deck.
We start every repair project with a thorough inspection. This is not a quick glance from the top. We get underneath your deck, check the structural components, test every board, and look for hidden damage.
Many people focus on what they can see on the surface, but the real problems often hide underneath. A deck might look fine from above while the support structure slowly deteriorates. We check for rot in the joists, rust in the hardware, and gaps in the flashing that lets water in.
Safety comes first with any deck repair. If we find structural issues, we will address those before worrying about how the deck looks. This might mean replacing damaged joists, reinforcing connections, or upgrading old hardware that no longer meets code.
We follow current building codes even when repairing older decks. This sometimes means adding additional blocking, upgrading fasteners, or improving how the deck attaches to your house. These updates protect your investment and keep everyone safe.
Once the structure is solid, we move to the visible parts. We replace damaged boards, secure loose ones, and eliminate any trip hazards. If your deck uses a specific wood type or board size, we match it as closely as possible.
Sometimes a deck just needs a few new boards. Other times, the surface is so worn that replacing the entire decking makes more sense while keeping the good structural framework underneath. We will help you make that call based on your budget and goals.
Restoration goes beyond fixing what is broken. It is about bringing your deck back to like-new condition. This includes repairs plus refinishing work like sanding, staining, and sealing.
A full restoration can transform a tired, gray deck into something that looks brand new. We sand down weathered wood, clean deep into the grain, and apply fresh stain and sealer. The result is a deck that looks great and is protected against future damage.

This is the big question we get asked all the time. The answer depends on several factors. How old is your deck? How extensive is the damage? What are your plans for the property?
As a general rule, if repairs would cost more than 50 percent of replacement, it makes sense to start fresh. But if the main structure is still solid and only the surface needs work, repairs are usually the smart choice.
We will give you honest recommendations. Sometimes that means suggesting deck replacement instead of repairs. We would rather have you make the right long-term decision than spend money on temporary fixes.
After we repair your deck, you want to keep it in good shape. Regular maintenance makes a huge difference. Sweep off debris, clean it annually, and keep plants trimmed back so they don't hold moisture against the wood.
Most wood decks need fresh stain and sealer every two to three years. This protects against moisture and UV damage that leads to more repairs down the road. A little preventive maintenance saves a lot of money in the long run.
