We handle everything from simple board replacements to complete structural repairs. The work gets done fast, the cleanup is thorough, and your deck is ready for whatever you throw at it.
Home Team Construction has been fixing decks across Long Island for over 10 years. We’re fully licensed, insured, and we’ve earned the trust of thousands of homeowners who needed their decks repaired right.
Here in East Farmingdale, we understand how quickly Long Island weather can damage decks. The humid summers, harsh winters, and everything in between take a toll on wood and composite materials. That’s why we use the right techniques and materials to make sure your repair lasts.
We’re the crew that shows up on time, explains exactly what needs to be done, and gets the job finished when we say we will. No surprises, no runaround—just honest work at fair prices.
First, we come out and take a close look at what’s going on with your deck. We check the boards, railings, posts, and underlying structure to see exactly what needs attention. You’ll get a clear explanation of the issues and a straightforward price quote.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we schedule the work around your timeline. We bring all the right tools and materials, protect your property, and get to work. Most deck repairs are completed in one to two days, depending on the scope.
When we’re done, your deck is solid, safe, and ready to use. We clean up completely—you won’t even know we were there except for the fact that your deck works like it should. We also provide photos of the completed work so you can see exactly what was fixed.

We repair all types of decks common in East Farmingdale homes. Whether you have pressure-treated lumber, composite decking, or cedar boards, we know how to fix what’s broken and prevent future problems.
Our deck repair services include replacing damaged boards, fixing loose railings, reinforcing structural components, repairing stairs, and addressing safety issues. We work with both wood and composite materials, and we match existing colors and styles so repairs blend seamlessly.
East Farmingdale’s weather patterns—from heavy snow loads in winter to intense summer heat—create specific challenges for deck materials. We’ve seen it all and know which repair techniques hold up best in our local climate. When we fix your deck, we’re thinking about how it will perform through multiple Long Island seasons.
Most deck board replacement projects take one to two days to complete. The timeline depends on how many boards need replacing and whether we discover any underlying structural issues that also need attention.
We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your routine. For smaller repairs involving just a few boards, we can often complete the work in a single day. Larger projects where we’re replacing significant portions of the deck surface may take two days, but we’ll give you an accurate timeline upfront.
Weather can affect the schedule, especially for staining or sealing work that needs dry conditions. We’ll keep you updated if any delays occur and work around your schedule as much as possible.
Loose railings are usually caused by fastener failure, post movement, or deterioration of the connection points between the railing and the deck structure. Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles cause wood to expand and contract, which can work screws and bolts loose over time.
Sometimes the problem is with the railing posts themselves. If posts weren’t properly secured to the deck frame initially, or if the mounting hardware has corroded, the entire railing system can become unstable. Water infiltration around post connections is another common culprit.
We fix loose railings by identifying the root cause and making the appropriate repairs. This might involve replacing hardware, reinforcing connections, or in some cases, replacing posts entirely. The goal is a railing system that meets safety codes and stays solid for years to come.
We repair both wood and composite deck boards. Composite decking has different repair requirements than wood, but we have experience working with all the major composite brands and know the proper techniques for each type.
Composite deck repairs often involve replacing entire boards rather than patching sections, since composite materials don’t accept patches as well as wood does. We keep common composite decking materials in stock and can usually match your existing color and texture.
For older composite decking that may be discontinued, we work to find the closest possible match or can suggest strategic replacement patterns that create an intentional design element rather than an obvious repair.
We start by examining the deck’s foundation, posts, beams, and joists—the structural elements that carry the load. We check for sagging, excessive movement, or signs of rot in these critical components. A deck that bounces significantly when you walk on it often has structural issues.
Cosmetic problems affect appearance but don’t compromise safety. These include surface stains, minor scratches, or individual damaged boards where the underlying structure is sound. Structural problems affect the deck’s ability to safely support weight and require immediate attention.
During our inspection, we’ll clearly explain which issues are structural and which are cosmetic, so you can prioritize repairs based on safety and budget. We always address structural concerns first, then handle cosmetic improvements if desired.
Repair makes sense when the deck’s structural foundation is solid but specific components need attention. If most of your deck is in good condition but you have some loose boards, failing railings, or isolated problem areas, repair is usually the most cost-effective approach.
Replacement becomes necessary when the structural elements are compromised, when repair costs approach replacement costs, or when the deck no longer meets current safety codes. If more than 40% of your deck needs work, replacement often makes more financial sense.
We’ll give you an honest assessment of whether your deck is a good candidate for repair or if you’d be better served by replacement. Our goal is to provide the solution that gives you the best value and longest-lasting results for your specific situation.
Yes, we stand behind our deck repair work with warranties that cover both materials and workmanship. The specific warranty terms depend on the type of repair and materials used, but we always guarantee that our work will perform as expected.
For structural repairs, we typically provide longer warranty coverage because these repairs are critical to safety and deck performance. Cosmetic repairs and board replacements also come with appropriate warranty protection based on the scope of work.
We use quality materials from trusted suppliers, which often come with their own manufacturer warranties. When applicable, we’ll help you understand both our workmanship warranty and any material warranties that apply to your specific repair project.
