Fence Installation Duncan SC | Call Morton Construction

Common signs that your deck may need repair include loose or wobbly railings, cracked or splintered boards, nails popping up, and minor rot in isolated areas. If the damage is limited to a few boards or surface issues, repair is often sufficient. However, if the underlying structure is compromised or rot has spread extensively, replacement may be more cost-effective and safer in the long run.

Duncan's humid climate can accelerate wood decay, promote mold and mildew growth, and attract termites. To prevent damage, choose pressure-treated or naturally rot-resistant woods like cedar or composite materials. Regular sealing, proper drainage, and keeping debris off the deck surface also help. Morton Construction recommends annual inspections to catch issues early.

The process begins with a free on-site assessment where we evaluate the current deck's condition and discuss your needs. After design and material selection, we obtain any necessary permits. The old deck is removed, and the new deck is built from the ground up, using modern fasteners and proper flashing to prevent future moisture problems. Final inspection ensures safety and durability.
