Woodworks Custom Decks | Professional Fencing Company in Biloxi, MS

In Biloxi's humid coastal climate, early signs include soft or spongy wood underfoot, visible rot near post bases, peeling paint that exposes bare wood, or loose railing. For fences, look for leaning sections, rusted nails, or gates that drag the ground. Catching these early allows for targeted repairs instead of full replacement.

Often, yes. We assess the extent of the damage first. For decks, we can replace individual rotted boards, strengthen weakened joists, or install new decking over a sound frame. For fences, we commonly swap out damaged pickets and reset leaning posts. We only recommend full replacement when the framing or structure is compromised beyond practical repair.

It depends on the deck's overall condition. If the substructure is solid, deck replacement—taking off the old surface and installing new decking—is often the best option. If the framing is also rotten due to moisture, a full reconstruction is necessary. We'll give you a straight answer on which choice gives you the most years per dollar spent, factoring in Biloxi's weather.
