On Deck Contracting - Louisville's Top-Rated Fence Builders

In older neighborhoods like the Highlands or Germantown, decks often face issues with rot, warping, and outdated supports due to Louisville’s humid summers and freeze-thaw winters. We start with a thorough inspection, identify compromised wood or fasteners, and replace only what’s needed. Our team uses pressure-treated lumber and composite options rated for local weather, ensuring your deck is safe and lasts for years. We also check local codes for setbacks and railing heights, common in these tight lot areas.

For properties near the Waterfront Park or River Road, we often recommend low-maintenance composite decking like Trex or TimberTech, which resist moisture and UV damage from the river sun. We can also incorporate built-in seating or planters to take advantage of views. Full replacement includes tearing out the old structure, adding new footings to meet current code, and installing proper flashing against the house—crucial for riverfront homes to prevent moisture intrusion.

Yes, we can. In St. Matthews and similar neighborhoods with older clay soils, heavy rain can cause posts to shift. We can repair a single section by digging out the old post, setting a new one in concrete below the frost line, and attaching new pickets to match your existing fence. If the whole fence is over 10 years old, we might recommend replacing the affected run to avoid mismatched wood that rots at different rates. We always match style and stain to keep your yard cohesive.
