Common Questions
What are the first signs that my deck needs repair?
Look for loose or rotting boards, rusty fasteners, wobbly railings, and mold or mildew. In Gilbert's humidity, wood can deteriorate faster, so check for soft spots or discoloration regularly.
When should I replace my deck instead of repairing it?
If more than 30% of the decking is damaged, the ledger board is rotted, or the structure is unstable, replacement is safer. We can inspect and advise whether repair or a full rebuild is more cost-effective.
Can you build a deck that resists termites and rot?
Yes. We use pressure-treated lumber, composite materials, or hardwoods like ipe that naturally resist pests and moisture. Proper sealing and drainage also prevent water damage common in Gilbert's climate.
