Dettner Construction: Best Residential Fencing Serving Lincoln City, OR 97367

The combination of constant moisture, ocean salt, and high winds accelerates rot in standard lumber. Dettner Construction addresses this by using pressure-treated wood rated for ground contact, stainless steel fasteners, and proper drainage around posts. For particularly wet areas near the D River or oceanfront, we also recommend concrete footings with gravel bases to keep wood dry.

Look for loose railings, popped nails or screws, cracked boards, and a bouncy feel when walking. Wind-driven rain can also push water under siding, leading to hidden rot. Dettner Construction inspects the entire structure—joists, ledger board, and hardware—and can replace damaged sections or reinforce connections. We use hidden fasteners and hurricane ties for decks that face the ocean breeze.

Yes, if the rot or damage is localized. Dettner Construction assesses the condition of underlying supports. If the joists and ledger are sound, we can replace worn deck boards and railings. For decks near the Chinook Winds Casino area that see heavy use, we often install composite decking on top of existing frames to save money. If rot has spread, a full replacement may be safer. We’ll give you a straight answer.
