Deck Repair & Restoration
Bring your worn deck back to life with expert repairs and restoration services.
Your deck takes a beating year after year. Sun, rain, foot traffic, and temperature changes all add up. Eventually, even the best-built deck starts showing signs of wear. Maybe you have noticed loose boards, wobbly railings, or wood that looks faded and splintered. The good news is that most deck problems can be fixed without tearing everything down and starting over.
We specialize in deck repair and restoration right here in Pittsburg, CA. We have saved countless decks that homeowners thought were beyond repair. Our team knows how to spot hidden issues that could become bigger problems down the road. Whether you need a few boards replaced or a complete restoration, we can help you get more years out of your existing deck at a fraction of the cost of a full replacement.
Common Deck Problems We Fix
Every deck is different, but we see the same issues pop up again and again in Pittsburg. Knowing what to look for helps you catch problems early before they turn into safety hazards or expensive repairs.
Here are the most common deck problems we repair:
- •Rotted or damaged boards: Water damage causes wood to rot, creating soft spots and weak areas
- •Loose or broken railings: Railings that wobble or have missing sections are serious safety issues
- •Popped nails and loose fasteners: Over time, fasteners work their way out, causing boards to lift
- •Structural issues with joists and beams: Hidden damage to the frame can compromise your entire deck
- •Faded, peeling, or cracked finish: Old stain and sealer break down, leaving wood vulnerable to moisture
- •Wobbly stairs: Loose or damaged stair stringers make going up and down dangerous
- •Warped or cupped boards: Boards that curl or warp create tripping hazards and gaps
How We Restore Your Deck
We start every repair job with a thorough inspection. We check the structure, the surface boards, the railings, and the stairs. We look for signs of rot, insect damage, and structural problems you might not see from the surface. This helps us give you an accurate estimate and makes sure we catch everything that needs attention.
Step-by-Step Restoration
Once we know what needs fixing, we get to work. We replace any rotted or damaged boards with new lumber that matches your existing deck. If your deck frame has issues, we reinforce or replace joists and beams to make sure your deck is structurally sound. Safety always comes first.
Next, we tighten or replace all loose fasteners and hardware. We repair or rebuild railings and stairs to meet current building codes. This is important if you ever plan to sell your home, as outdated railings can cause problems during inspections.
Finally, we restore the appearance of your deck. This might include sanding down rough spots, applying a fresh coat of stain or sealer, or power washing to remove years of grime. When we are done, your deck looks and feels like new. If your deck is beyond repair, we also offer full deck replacement services to give you a fresh start.
Should You Repair or Replace Your Deck?
This is the big question. Sometimes a repair makes sense, and sometimes you are better off with a full replacement. As a general rule, if your deck is less than 15 years old and the frame is still solid, repair is usually the way to go. You can replace surface boards, fix railings, and restore the finish for much less than building a new deck.
But if your deck is 20 years old or more, or if the frame has significant rot or damage, replacement might be more cost-effective in the long run. We give you honest advice based on what we find. We are not here to sell you a new deck if a repair will do the job.
We also consider how much you have already spent on repairs. If you have been fixing your deck every year or two, it might be time to invest in a new one. On the other hand, if this is your first major repair, you could easily get another 10 years out of your deck with the right work. For homeowners looking for long-lasting options, our custom deck design and installation services can create a durable outdoor space built to last.
How to Keep Your Deck in Good Shape
Once we repair your deck, you want to keep it looking good for as long as possible. Regular maintenance makes a huge difference. Here is what we recommend to Pittsburg homeowners:
Clean your deck at least once a year. Sweep off leaves and debris regularly, and wash the surface with a deck cleaner to remove dirt and mildew. This prevents buildup that can trap moisture and cause rot.
Reseal or restain your deck every two to three years. The exact timing depends on your climate and the products you use, but this simple step protects the wood from moisture and UV damage. If water soaks into the wood instead of beading up, it is time to reseal.
Inspect your deck twice a year for loose fasteners, splintered boards, or other small problems. Catching issues early saves you money and keeps your deck safe.
