Questions and Answers
What causes deck boards to rot quickly in Sault Ste. Marie?
The combination of heavy snowfall, freeze-thaw cycles, and moisture from Lake Superior can accelerate wood rot, especially if the deck isn't properly sealed or has poor drainage. Northern Deck Crafters uses pressure-treated lumber or composite materials that resist moisture, and we ensure proper flashing and slope to prevent water pooling.
What are signs that my fence needs replacement instead of repair?
If you notice widespread rot at the base of posts, leaning sections, or loose pickets that can't be tightened, replacement is often more cost-effective. Harsh Sault Ste. Marie winters can weaken fences over time. We offer free inspections to help you decide between repair or a new fence that will last for decades.
How can I prevent my deck railing from becoming loose during harsh winters?
Loose railings are often due to frost heave or corrosion of fasteners. Northern Deck Crafters installs galvanized or stainless steel hardware and sets posts below the frost line (around 48 inches in our area). We also recommend annual inspections to tighten connections and seal any cracks before winter sets in.
