Common Questions
How do you handle deck repairs when there are large trees nearby, which is common in Durham neighborhoods like Trinity Park?
As ISA-certified Arborists, we first assess the tree’s health, root structure, and potential for growth or limb failure. In Durham’s older neighborhoods, trees often grow close to homes and decks. We recommend adjusting the deck’s framing or using post bases that avoid damaging roots, and we prune any overhanging branches to prevent future debris. This preservation-first approach keeps your deck safe and your trees healthy.
What does a typical deck repair from Priest Services include?
Our deck repair services cover everything from replacing warped or rotted boards to reinforcing wobbly railings and fixing structural joists. We start with an inspection, check for hidden damage (often caused by moisture or pests), and then provide a clear repair plan. Since we’re also arborists, we note if tree roots or fallen leaves are contributing to decay and address that as part of the job.
Do you offer deck repair for older homes near Duke University or the American Tobacco Campus?
Yes, we work throughout Durham, including historic areas near Duke’s East Campus and downtown’s American Tobacco Historic District. Older homes often have decks that have settled unevenly or show wear from decades of use. We tailor repairs to match the original style and ensure the deck meets modern safety standards, all while preserving the character of your property.
