What We Handle
Board & Plank Replacement
Soft, cracked, or cupped boards come out and matching boards go in, fastened right so the surface walks solid again.
Railing & Stair Repair
Loose posts, wobbly rails, and shifting stairs rebuilt to feel firm under your hand, which is the whole point of a railing.
Framing Reinforcement
Sistering weakened joists, replacing bad blocking, and shoring the structure under the surface so the repair is more than skin deep.
Staining & Sealing
Cleaning and refinishing that puts a protective coat between your deck and the Florida sun, timed for the dry season so it cures.
Screen-Porch Deck Repair
Rotted decking inside a screened enclosure replaced without wrecking the screens around it.
Pavers & Patio Touch-Ups
Sunken or heaved pavers reset, edging corrected, and minor patio repairs handled while the crew is already there.
A Repair Crew, Not a Demolition Permit
You know your deck has a problem the day you start stepping around a certain board. Soft planks, a railing that moves when you lean on it, stairs that creak and shift, a finish the sun turned gray years ago. None of that means the deck is done. Most of the time it means the deck needs a repair crew, not a demolition permit.
Our crews replace the failed boards, reinforce the framing underneath, rebuild stairs and railings so they feel solid under your hand, and stain or seal the surface so the repair lasts. Screen-porch decks and paver patios get the same treatment: bad boards out, sunken pavers reset, edges made right. You get a free estimate, a written price that does not move, and a one year warranty on the finished work.
And the honest line, because you deserve it before you spend anything: if we crawl under the deck and the framing is too far gone to repair, we will say so plainly. Our crews build as well as repair, so you will get a straight answer either way from the same company. It is how we have worked since 1999, and it is why more than half our work is repeat customers and referrals.

How a Deck Repair Visit Goes
- 1
We look underneath first
The surface tells you where it hurts; the framing tells you why. We crawl under and check joists, beams, posts, and the ledger where the deck meets the house before pricing anything.
- 2
One written scope, surface and structure
Everything the deck needs goes in one written price: the boards you can see and the framing you cannot. If the structure is too far gone to repair honestly, this is where we say so.
- 3
Structure before surface
Weak joists get sistered, bad blocking replaced, post bases corrected. New boards over tired framing is the repair that fails by next summer, so the order never changes.
- 4
Boards, railings, and stairs
Failed decking replaced and fastened properly, railings rebuilt to feel firm under your hand, stair stringers and treads made solid and even again.
- 5
The finish coat, on the right calendar
Stain and sealer get scheduled for the dry season so they cure. If you call in the summer, the structural work happens now and the finish goes on the books for the months that will let it last.
Built for Florida
In Florida, the sun is as hard on a deck as the rain
Everyone blames rain for deck trouble, but here the sun does at least as much damage. Florida UV breaks down the finish, then the surface fibers, until boards cup, split, and turn gray, and once the finish is gone every afternoon storm soaks straight into bare wood. A deck that gets recoated on schedule can outlast an ignored one by years, which makes staining and sealing the cheapest repair on this page.
Timing matters more here than most places. The dry season, November through April, is the window for staining and sealing, because summer humidity and the daily rain pattern will not give a finish the dry days it needs to cure. Book the structural repairs any time of year, and let us schedule the finish coat for the months when it will actually take.
A Deck Check You Can Do This Weekend
No tools needed beyond a screwdriver and your own weight. Here is what a repair crew would look for first.
- Press a screwdriver into the base of each post and anywhere boards meet. Sound wood resists; soft wood takes the tip. The post bases and board ends fail first because that is where water sits.
- Lean on the railing at the corners, firmly. A railing gets its real test exactly once, and a wobble today is a post connection asking to be fixed cheap.
- Look for popped or rusting fasteners shining across the surface. Boards that move work their fasteners loose, and rust streaks mean the hardware is aging faster than the wood.
- Check where the deck attaches to the house. Stains, soft trim, or gaps at the ledger are the most serious thing on this list, because that connection carries the whole deck.
- Pour a little water on a board. If it beads, your finish is working. If it soaks straight in, the wood is unprotected and the sun and rain are working on it every day.
Find something? That is exactly the stage where a repair is small. Bring us the list and we will check the rest.

Deck & Patio Repair: Common Questions
How do I know if my deck can be repaired or needs to be rebuilt?
The surface rarely tells the whole story, so we look underneath at the joists, beams, and posts. If the framing is sound, boards, railings, and stairs are all repairable. If the structure is too far gone, we will tell you plainly, and since our crews also build, you get an honest answer from one company either way.
Can you replace just a few boards, or is it all or nothing?
A few boards is a normal job for us, and it is exactly the repair that stops rot from spreading to the neighbors. New boards will read slightly different from weathered ones until the finish coat evens things out, and we will tell you up front what to expect.
When is the best time to stain or seal a deck in Florida?
The dry season, November through April. Finishes need dry days to cure, and the summer pattern of humidity plus a storm every afternoon will not allow it. If you call in July, we can do the structural work now and put the finish coat on the calendar for the right months.
My railing wobbles but the deck feels fine. Is that worth a visit?
Yes, and sooner is better, because a railing takes its full test exactly once. Usually it is a post connection that has worked loose or rotted at the base, and it is a quick, inexpensive fix compared to what it prevents.
Can you repair the deck inside my screened porch without ruining the screens?
Yes, that is a job we plan for. We work the decking out and in around the enclosure, and if a panel does have to come loose to do it right, we put it back properly rather than leaving you with a screen problem in place of a deck problem.
What does deck repair cost?
Board count, framing condition, and whether a finish coat is in scope are what drive it, and none of those are guessable from above. We crawl under at the free estimate, write up exactly what the deck needs, and the price is guaranteed in writing before work starts.
