Reinforced Deck Repair & Structural Surface Restoration Services

Understanding Deck Repair and the Restoration Process

Deck repair is the process of restoring structural integrity, surface stability, and safety to aging or damaged decks. Over time, exposure to weather, moisture, and foot traffic causes deck boards to warp, fasteners to loosen, and joists to weaken. C&S Contracting LLC specializes in assessing load-bearing components, checking ledger board connections, replacing rotted or splintered boards, and addressing code violations.

The deck repair process starts with a detailed inspection. The substructure, including joists, beams, and ledger boards, is evaluated for signs of wood rot, corrosion, or insect damage. Once structural issues are identified, repairs include removing compromised components, securing new treated lumber, tightening or replacing hardware with galvanized or stainless-steel fasteners, and ensuring post anchors meet code.

Surface issues such as cracked planks or fading finishes are also addressed. This may involve sanding, resurfacing, sealing, or full plank replacement using pressure-treated wood, cedar, or composite decking material. Railing systems are inspected for looseness or instability and repaired to meet safety standards. Proper drainage and flashing are restored to avoid future water infiltration. Once completed, the repaired deck is safe, visually cohesive, and ready for regular use.
