Old Fashioned House Painting | Expert Fencing Company in Getzville, NY

Common signs include loose or warped boards, visible rot or water damage, nails popping up, and a spongy feel when you walk on it. If your deck is more than 15-20 years old, it may need a full replacement. For newer decks, isolated repairs can often fix issues like loose railings or cracked planks.

Loose fasteners are typically tightened or replaced with corrosion-resistant screws. For gate hardware that freezes, we recommend upgrading to a stainless steel latch and using a lubricant designed for cold weather. We also ensure proper alignment so the gate moves freely, preventing strain on the hardware. These steps help your fence withstand our local freeze-thaw cycles.

It depends on the extent of the damage. If only a few boards or a small section are rotted or damaged, we can perform a targeted repair. However, if the underlying structure (joists, beams) is compromised or if the damage is widespread, a full deck replacement is often more cost-effective and safer in the long run. We'll inspect your deck and give you an honest recommendation.
