Deck Construction & Repair Benson, NC | Father and Son Decks and Fences

In Benson’s humid climate, common signs include rotting wood, especially near the ground or at post bases, loose or wobbly railings, cracked or splintered deck boards, and nails that are popping up. If you notice spongy areas when walking or see that the deck is visibly sagging, it’s time to call Father and Son Decks and Fences for an inspection.

Benson’s high humidity, frequent rain, and temperature swings create the perfect conditions for moisture damage. Water can become trapped between deck boards and under the structure, leading to rot and decay. This is especially common with older decks that weren’t built with modern pressure-treated lumber or proper ventilation. Father and Son Decks and Fences can address these root causes during repairs or replacements.

We can often replace individual damaged deck boards or sections if the underlying structure is still sound. However, if the supports, joists, or posts show signs of rot or insect damage, a complete deck replacement is usually the safer, more cost-effective long-term solution. We’ll inspect your deck in Benson and give you an honest recommendation either way.
