Wood Wizard Fence & Deck Restoration - Missoula's Experienced Residential Fencing

Missoula’s freeze-thaw cycles and wet springs trap moisture in wood, leading to rot. Poor drainage under decks and lack of sealing speed up deterioration. Wood Wizard addresses this by using proper flashing, treated lumber, and routine maintenance to prevent moisture damage.

If you see soft spots, warped boards, or loose railings, it may just need repair. But if the ledger board (where deck attaches to house) is rotted, or posts are crumbling, replacement is safer. We inspect and advise honestly, so you don’t overspend.

Heavy loads can push posts out of plumb or break pickets. We replace damaged sections, set posts deeper with concrete below frost line, and use pressure-treated wood for longevity. For decks, we also check for soft joists under the snow load.
