Deck Repair & Restoration

When Your Deck Needs Attention

Not every damaged deck needs to be completely replaced. Often, targeted repairs and restoration can add years of life to your existing deck at a fraction of the cost. If your deck has loose boards, wobbly railings, or weathered wood, we can fix it.

Here in Salinas, CA, decks face coastal moisture, temperature changes, and UV exposure that can cause wear over time. We repair and restore all types of decks, from pressure-treated wood to cedar and composite materials. Our goal is to make your deck safe, functional, and beautiful again.

Common Deck Problems We Fix

Over the years, decks develop issues that need professional attention. Here are the most common problems we see in Salinas area homes:

• Rotted or damaged boards: We replace individual boards or entire sections affected by rot, cracks, or splinters.
• Loose or broken railings: Safety first. We secure or rebuild railings to meet code requirements.
• Structural issues: Sagging decks, loose joists, or failing posts need immediate attention to prevent collapse.
• Faded or weathered appearance: Restoration services bring back the original beauty with cleaning, sanding, and refinishing.
• Popped or rusted fasteners: We replace old nails and screws with proper deck fasteners.

How We Restore Your Deck

Every repair job starts with a thorough inspection. We check the entire structure, from the foundation and posts to the decking surface and railings. This helps us identify all issues, not just the obvious ones you can see.

Once we know what needs fixing, we provide you with a detailed estimate. We'll explain what's urgent for safety, what can wait, and give you options that fit your budget. Many homeowners are surprised at how much we can do for less than they expected.

For restoration work, we clean the entire deck to remove dirt, mildew, and old finish. Then we sand down rough spots, replace damaged sections, and apply a fresh stain or sealer. The result looks almost like a brand-new deck. If your deck is beyond repair, we also handle complete deck replacement projects.

Repair or Replace? We'll Be Honest

Sometimes repair makes sense. Sometimes replacement is the smarter move. We'll never push you toward the more expensive option if repairs will get you several more years of safe use.

As a general rule, if more than 30 percent of your deck needs repair, or if the structural frame is compromised, replacement might be more cost-effective. But if it's just surface issues or isolated damage, repairs are usually the way to go. We also offer deck staining and sealing services to protect your investment after repairs are complete.
