Questions and Answers
How do you handle deck repairs for older structures in Gilmer?
We start with a thorough inspection to assess rot, loose boards, or unstable railings. For composite decks, we can replace individual planks or sections. With treated wood, we match the existing lumber and treat new pieces to resist moisture and insects common in East Texas. Our goal is to extend the life of your deck without a full replacement if possible.
What’s the best way to fix a gate that won’t latch properly?
Gate alignment problems often come from settling posts or sagging hinges. We check the post footing first—if it’s loose, we re-set it with concrete. Then we adjust the hinges or replace worn latch hardware. For wooden gates, we may add a tension cable or replace a warped board. It’s a quick fix that saves you from having to replace the whole fence.
Do you offer deck replacement services, and how long does it typically take?
Yes, we handle full deck tear-outs and rebuilds. After signing a contract, we pre-order materials (composite or treated wood) to avoid delays. For an average-sized deck in Gilmer, the replacement process usually takes 3–5 days, depending on weather and site conditions. We keep you updated on progress every step.
