What’s Included in Our Deck Repair Service

Tacoma’s rain is brutal on decks. We repair all common deck types — pressure-treated wood, cedar, and composite — focusing on structural safety first, then appearance:

• Rotted board replacement — Soft, spongy, or cracked deck boards removed and replaced with matching lumber.
• Railing repair — Loose or wobbly railings tightened, rebuilt, or replaced to meet safety standards.
• Stair repair — Loose treads, shaky stringers, and unstable handrails fixed solid.
• Structural reinforcement — Joists, beams, and ledger boards inspected and reinforced where needed.
• Fastener replacement — Popped nails and rusted screws replaced with exterior-rated deck screws.
• Deck cleaning, staining & sealing — Protect your repaired deck from moisture with quality stain or sealant. Bundle with our fence repair service for complete exterior renewal.

Common Deck Problems We Fix in Tacoma

Our Pacific Northwest climate — months of rain, occasional freezing, and summer UV — creates predictable deck failures:

• Wood rot — Especially where boards meet joists, around fasteners, and in shaded areas that never fully dry.
• Loose railings — A serious safety hazard. Posts loosen as wood shrinks and fasteners corrode.
• Warped and cupped boards — Moisture cycles cause boards to twist, creating trip hazards.
• Stair instability — Stringers rot, treads loosen, and handrails wobble with age and weather exposure.
• Ledger board issues — The critical connection to your house. We inspect for rot and proper flashing.

Our Deck Repair Process

1. Safety inspection. We check the full structure — ledger, joists, posts, railings, stairs — and flag any safety concerns immediately.

2. Honest assessment. You get upfront pricing. If the deck is beyond sensible repair, we’ll tell you and explain why.

3. Structural repairs first. We address framing, posts, and connections before cosmetic boards.

4. Surface restoration. Damaged boards replaced, fasteners updated, railings secured.

5. Protection. We recommend staining or sealing to defend against Tacoma’s rain, and we can apply it.
