Questions and Answers

My deck boards are splitting and have soft spots after last winter. Can you repair just the bad boards, or do I need a full deck replacement?

In many cases, we can repair individual damaged boards rather than replacing the entire deck. We'll inspect the substructure near Hobart's Lake George area for rot or frost heave before swapping out worn decking or railings. If the joists or ledger board are compromised, we'll advise on a targeted replacement. Once the repair is done, we recommend a sealant to protect against Hobart's freeze-thaw cycles.

My fence gate in Hobart is dragging on the ground and won't latch properly. Is this an easy fix, or do I need a new gate?

A dragging gate is often caused by ground movement from our heavy clay soil or a soaked post base after a wet spring. We'll check the hinges, latch, and post alignment. Most of the time, we can re-set the post, adjust the hinges, or shim the gate to get it swinging freely. If the gate frame is warped or rotted, we'll build and install a new manual or automatic gate that matches your existing fence style.

We just built a new deck near Deep River County Park, and I want to add a fence and an automatic gate for privacy. Can you match the new construction?

Absolutely. We coordinate fence and gate installation with new deck projects to make your whole backyard look cohesive. We'll use the same stain or paint color and choose a gate style that fits your deck's railing. For automatic gate installs in Hobart, we ensure the opener and safety sensors are correctly wired and grounded, and we can integrate with your existing remote or keypad system.
