FAQs
What causes deck rot in Elwood’s climate?
Elwood’s freeze-thaw cycles cause moisture to seep into wood, leading to rot and decay. Poor initial sealing, lack of drainage, and using untreated lumber worsen the problem. KJ FENCING recommends pressure-treated or composite materials and annual inspections to catch early signs.
What are signs my deck needs repair?
Look for splintering wood, loose railings, soft spots underfoot, or visible mold. If nails pop up or boards shift, it’s time for repair. KJ FENCING can assess damage and recommend targeted fixes or full replacement if structural integrity is compromised.
How does KJ FENCING handle deck replacement?
We start with a thorough inspection to determine if replacement is necessary. Then we remove the old deck, prepare the site, and install a new deck using rot-resistant materials suited for Elwood’s weather. We also ensure proper flashing and drainage to prevent future issues.
