Ace Fence & Railing: Reliable Fence Installation Serving Northampton, PA 18067

We start with a free on-site estimate to assess the existing structure and discuss your needs. For full deck replacement, we remove the old deck, inspect the underlying area for any rot or drainage issues, then install new pressure-treated or composite decking with proper flashing to keep water out. We use hot-dipped galvanized fasteners to resist rust from local humidity and rainfall. The result is a safe, level deck that matches your home and yard.

Freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rain soften the soil, causing standard set posts to shift. In Northampton, we dig post holes deeper than the frost line—usually around 36 inches—and pour concrete collars with gravel drainage at the base. This keeps posts plumb and stable through wet winters and spring thaws. It’s a local fix for a very common issue.

Absolutely. We inspect the deck to see if the damage is isolated. For section repairs, we cut out rotted wood, replace it with matching treated lumber, and reinforce the joists or ledger board if needed. We also add new flashing to stop future water intrusion. It’s often a more cost-effective option than full replacement, especially for decks that are structurally sound overall.
