Professional Residential Fencing in Midland, NC 28107 - Thornton Home & Design

Deck replacement starts with a full inspection to assess the existing structure. We remove old decking, posts, and rails, then rebuild with pressure-treated lumber or composite materials. For a standard 12x16-foot deck, the process usually takes 4–6 days, depending on site prep and weather. We handle everything from framing to finish, ensuring your new deck meets current safety codes.

Yes, we often do targeted repairs for decks with isolated damage, like rotted boards or loose railings. We’ll assess the rot, check the support posts and joists, then replace only the affected sections. This saves you money and extends the life of your deck. We’re transparent about when a partial repair makes sense versus a full replacement.

Midland’s clay-heavy soil can shift and hold moisture, causing fence posts to lean or rot over time. We set posts with concrete footings and use galvanized brackets to keep wood off the ground. For added stability, we recommend pressure-treated pine or cedar, and we can install gravel at the post base to improve drainage. This approach minimizes the need for early repairs.
