The primary cause is consistent moisture from high humidity and frequent rain, especially in shaded areas near Lake Myers or along tree lines. Poor drainage and lack of proper sealing can accelerate rot, making regular inspections important for deck longevity.

Look for soft or spongy spots on boards, visible cracks, loose railings, or nails popping up. If you notice mold or mildew near the ground contact points, it's a sign of moisture damage. For safety, address these issues promptly with professional repair or replacement.

We start by assessing the extent of the damage, then remove and replace affected boards, joists, or posts. For decks with widespread rot, we recommend full replacement using pressure-treated lumber and proper flashing to prevent future moisture issues. Our team ensures the new deck meets local building codes and stands up to our area's weather.
