Wood and Vinyl Fencing Kansas City MO | Call SimplerTimber

In Kansas City, moisture from frequent rain and snowmelt, combined with poor drainage near the foundation, often causes ground-level deck boards to rot. This is common in older homes around the Plaza or Brookside. SimplerTimber addresses this by replacing damaged boards and improving airflow during deck repair, ensuring the new wood stays dry.

Signs like widespread soft spots, loose railings, or posts leaning more than an inch indicate structural failure, especially after harsh winters near Westport. If over 30% of the deck is compromised, SimplerTimber recommends a full replacement to maintain safety. They’ll assess the frame and joists to give you a clear, neighborly recommendation.

A sagging deck often means the support posts or beams have shifted due to soil settling, common in neighborhoods like Brookside. SimplerTimber’s solution involves replacing rotted posts and reinforcing the frame with treated lumber. They also check for proper footing depth to prevent future issues, ensuring your deck stays level and safe.
