Back Yard Solutions - Freeport's Local Fence Builders

Yes. We assess the existing structure for rot, insect damage, or code issues, then remove and replace the deck with durable materials suited to Northern Illinois weather. We’ve worked on homes near the Oakdale Nature Preserve and in the Empire Street corridor, ensuring the new deck matches your home’s style and local building codes.

Fence staining failure here often results from moisture trapped under old stain or from using the wrong product. We strip the old finish, clean the wood thoroughly, and apply a high-quality penetrating stain designed for our freeze-thaw climate. We also check for underlying issues like loose pickets or rotting posts, which we repair before refinishing. This is especially helpful for fences along the Pecatonica River where humidity is higher.

Absolutely. Loose boards and wobbly railings are common safety issues. We inspect the entire deck, tighten or replace fasteners, reinforce joists, and secure railings to meet current safety standards. Whether your home is near the Freeport High School or the Krape Park area, we make sure your deck is stable and ready for outdoor gatherings.
