Fence Builders Windsor CO | Call Trusted Home & Wood Care

In Windsor, the first signs often include splintering wood, loose or popping nails, and visible rot near the ground or where boards meet. After a harsh winter, you might also notice warping or cupping of the deck boards. If your deck feels bouncy or the railing wobbles, it's time for an inspection to prevent safety hazards.

It depends on the extent of the damage. If the rot is limited to a few boards or sections, we can perform a targeted repair to replace only those pieces. However, if the underlying support structure—like joists or posts—shows significant rot or termite damage, a full deck replacement is often more cost-effective and safer in the long run. We'll assess your specific situation and recommend the best solution.

Windsor's climate, with intense summer sun and freezing winters, can cause wood to dry out, crack, and absorb moisture, leading to rot. To extend your deck's life, we recommend using pressure-treated or cedar wood and applying a high-quality sealant every 1-2 years. Regular cleaning and ensuring proper drainage under the deck also help prevent moisture buildup and premature deterioration.
