A deck with loose boards, rotted sections, or wobbly railings is a safety issue, not just an eyesore. Jacob has been repairing decks throughout Montgomery County for over 19 years. He assesses the full condition, replaces what needs replacing, and leaves the deck safe and solid.
Most deck repairs are straightforward: replace the bad boards, tighten or sister the joists under loose sections, rebuild the railing posts and rails. Jacob scopes the work honestly and gets it done in a single visit when possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Jacob checks for rot by probing the board with a screwdriver. Soft spots, sponginess, or boards that crumble under light pressure need replacement. Boards that are solid but lifting or loose can often be refastened.
Jacob sources pressure-treated lumber to match the existing deck profile when possible. For composite decking, a match depends on whether the original material is still available.
A targeted repair of loose boards and a railing section typically takes two to four hours. More extensive repairs with joist work or multiple sections take longer and Jacob will scope it before starting.
Jacob gives an honest assessment. If the frame and joists are solid, repairing the decking surface and railings is usually far less expensive than replacement and extends the life of the deck significantly.
