FAQs
What types of deck materials do you recommend for Silverton’s rainy climate?
For Silverton’s wet winters, we often recommend pressure-treated lumber or cedar for natural resistance to moisture, or composite decking for low maintenance and longevity. We also ensure proper flashing and drainage during installation to prevent water damage. Our team can help you choose the best material based on your budget and how you plan to use the deck.
How do you handle fence posts in Silverton’s soil to prevent rot?
Silverton’s clay-heavy soil can hold moisture around fence posts, leading to early rot. We set posts in gravel for drainage and use pressure-treated wood rated for ground contact. For extra protection, we can install concrete footings with a slight slope away from the post. This approach extends the life of your fence significantly.
Can you repair a small section of my deck instead of replacing the whole thing?
Yes, we frequently repair decks by replacing only the damaged boards, reinforcing joists, or fixing railings. We assess the overall structure first to make sure the rest of the deck is sound. If the damage is isolated, a repair is often more cost-effective than a full replacement. We’ll give you an honest recommendation before starting work.
