Your deck is more than just an outdoor structure—it’s where memories are made. Whether you’re grilling with family or enjoying a quiet evening outdoors, a safe, beautiful deck or patio makes all the difference. But how do you know when it’s time for a repair?
Here are five common signs your deck may need professional attention:
- Loose or Wobbly Railings - If the railings shift when touched, it’s more than annoying—it’s a serious safety concern that needs to be fixed ASAP.
- Cracked or Warped Boards - Over time, exposure to the elements can cause wood to split, warp, or rot. Replacing damaged boards not only improves appearance but also prevents injuries.
- Rusty or Missing Hardware - Screws, nails, and brackets keep your deck structurally sound. If they’re rusting or gone, it’s time for a professional inspection.
- Sinking or Uneven Areas - Uneven surfaces or sagging spots may indicate foundation or drainage problems, which can lead to more costly issues if ignored.
- Faded or Peeling Finish - If your deck looks dull or the stain is peeling, it’s not just cosmetic—wood without protection is more vulnerable to damage.
