Row Custom Fencing - Joliet's Local Fencing Company

Deck post rot is often caused by moisture trapped at the base due to improper flashing or ground contact. In Joliet's climate, freeze-thaw cycles accelerate deterioration. Posts set in concrete without proper drainage can hold water, leading to rot.

Signs include extensive rot in multiple posts or joists, loose railings, or a wobbly structure. If more than 30% of the deck is compromised, replacement is safer and more cost-effective than repeated repairs. A professional inspection can determine the best course.

Yes, if the foundation (footings) are still sound, we can replace the rotted posts and frame. However, if the footings are too shallow or cracked, we recommend a complete replacement. We'll assess your Joliet property to ensure a secure, long-lasting result.
