MNS Services: Trusted Commercial Fencing Serving Hernando, MS 38632

If the damage is isolated, deck repair is often the most cost‑effective route. We’ll inspect the underlying joists and support posts first, then replace only the rotted boards and any compromised framing. In many Hernando homes, moisture gets trapped, especially around the ledger board where the deck meets the house. We address that by adding proper flashing and installing fasteners that resist rust. Our goal is to extend the life of your existing deck without the expense of a full replacement.

When a deck is beyond repair, we remove the old structure down to the ground, including any buried posts that might be decaying. Then we lay a new foundation using galvanized hardware and pressure‑treated lumber or a low‑maintenance composite material if you prefer. For an average‑sized deck in Hernando, the process typically takes three to five working days, depending on weather and the complexity of the design. We always check local building codes for DeSoto County to make sure your new deck meets all requirements.

Absolutely. Leaning fences are very common in Hernando because our clay soil holds water and can heave with freeze‑thaw cycles. Instead of just resetting the same posts, we dig deeper footings and pour concrete collars that go below the frost line. For areas prone to runoff, like some lots in Willow Oaks, we may also add gravel at the base for drainage. This approach gives the fence a solid anchor, so it stays straight through the wet spring and the dry summer heat.
