Hear From Our Clients
Your deck takes a beating from Bohemia’s humid summers and harsh winters. Salt air corrodes fasteners faster here than inland. Moisture gets trapped between boards, creating perfect conditions for rot to spread in just one season.
You’re noticing soft spots when you walk across it. Maybe a railing feels loose, or you’ve spotted a few boards that look darker than the rest. Those aren’t cosmetic issues—they’re warnings that moisture has gotten where it shouldn’t be.
Catching these problems now means a repair bill in the hundreds or low thousands. Waiting another year? You’re looking at structural damage that could push you into replacement territory, which runs five to ten times higher. We assess what’s actually wrong, fix the root cause, and use materials built to handle Long Island’s coastal climate so the problem doesn’t come back next season.
We know Bohemia homes because we’ve been working on them since before most deck repair companies had websites. We’re licensed, insured, and we’ve seen what happens when contractors cut corners or use the wrong materials for Long Island’s climate.
You’re not getting a crew that learned about deck repair from YouTube. You’re getting professionals who understand why support posts rot from the inside out in Suffolk County, why standard hardware fails faster near the coast, and what it actually takes to make repairs last.
We show up when we say we will. We explain what’s wrong in plain terms. And we give you a detailed estimate before any work starts so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
First, we come out and actually look at your deck—not just the surface, but underneath where the real problems hide. We’re checking support posts, joists, flashing, hardware, and anywhere moisture could be causing damage you can’t see yet.
Then we walk you through what we found. If your deck has rotting boards but the structure underneath is solid, we’ll tell you that. If we find a support post that’s compromised, we’ll show you why it happened and what needs to change so it doesn’t happen again.
You get a written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline. Most deck repairs in Bohemia take one to three days depending on scope. Simple fixes like replacing a few boards or tightening railings? Done in a day. More extensive structural work takes longer, but we’ll tell you upfront.
Once you approve, we order the right materials—pressure-treated lumber, composite boards if that’s what you have, and corrosion-resistant hardware designed for coastal environments. We complete the work, clean up completely, and make sure you’re clear on any maintenance that’ll help your deck last longer.

We handle rotting or damaged deck boards, loose or broken railings, compromised support posts and joists, rusted or corroded fasteners, gaps between your deck and house, and any structural issues that make your deck unsafe. If your deck has it, and it’s broken, we fix it.
In Bohemia and throughout Suffolk County, the most common problems we see are moisture-related. Long Island’s humid summers and wet winters are particularly hard on wood decks. We’re replacing boards that have gone soft, reinforcing joists that have weakened from water exposure, and upgrading flashing that’s failed and allowed water into places it shouldn’t be.
We also address the underlying causes. If your support posts are rotting, we figure out why moisture accumulated there in the first place. Sometimes it’s poor drainage. Sometimes it’s missing or damaged flashing. Sometimes it’s hardware that wasn’t rated for coastal exposure. We fix the symptom and the cause so you’re not calling us back in two years with the same problem.
Your repair includes materials that are built to withstand Long Island’s elements—not the cheapest option at the lumber yard, but the right option for longevity. We provide a comprehensive warranty on our workmanship and honor manufacturer warranties on materials. And we make sure everything meets current Suffolk County building codes.
Most deck repairs in Bohemia run between $1,000 and $5,000 depending on how extensive the damage is. Replacing a handful of rotting boards and tightening some loose railings sits on the lower end. Structural repairs involving support posts, joists, or significant board replacement push toward the higher end.
The real cost question isn’t what repair runs—it’s what waiting costs you. Small problems turn into major structural issues fast in Long Island’s climate. A $1,500 repair this year can easily become a $15,000 replacement next year if moisture damage spreads to the frame.
We give you a detailed estimate before starting any work so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprise charges, no upsells for things you don’t need. Just transparent pricing based on what’s actually wrong with your deck.
If your repair costs are less than 50% of what replacement would run, repair almost always makes more sense. You’re extending the life of your deck by years for a fraction of the cost.
If less than a quarter of your deck boards need replacement and the structure underneath is solid, repair is the clear choice. But if we find widespread rot in the joists, compromised support posts, or damage affecting more than half the deck, replacement starts looking like the better investment.
Here’s what matters: a repair should buy you at least five to seven more years of safe use. If we can’t confidently say that after inspecting your deck, we’ll tell you replacement makes more sense. We’re not interested in selling you a repair that only lasts two seasons.
Simple repairs—replacing a few boards, fixing loose railings, swapping out corroded hardware—usually take one day. More extensive work involving structural components, multiple board replacements, or railing rebuilds typically takes two to three days.
Weather can affect timeline since we can’t install certain materials in rain or extreme cold. We also need time for material delivery if you have composite decking or need specialty lumber.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline during the estimate. If something comes up during the job that changes the schedule, you’ll know immediately. Most homeowners in Bohemia have their deck back and fully usable within a week of calling us.
Long Island’s coastal climate is tough on outdoor structures. You’ve got humid summers that trap moisture between boards, wet winters that keep wood damp for months, and salt air that corrodes metal fasteners faster than you’d see inland.
The freeze-thaw cycle does serious damage too. Water gets into small cracks, freezes and expands, then thaws and allows more water in. One winter can turn a hairline crack into a split board.
Most deck damage starts where you can’t see it. Support posts rot from the inside out because moisture accumulates at ground level. Joists weaken because water sits on top of them. Flashing fails and allows water behind the ledger board where your deck connects to your house. By the time you notice surface problems, there’s often hidden damage underneath that needs attention.
Yes. We use pressure-treated lumber rated for ground contact when replacing support posts, composite boards that match your existing deck if that’s what you have, and stainless steel or coated fasteners that won’t corrode in salt air.
Standard galvanized screws and nails rust out fast near the coast. We use hardware specifically rated for coastal environments because we’ve seen what happens when contractors use whatever’s cheapest. Your deck might look fine for a year, then fasteners start failing and boards come loose.
The materials we install are designed to last in Suffolk County’s conditions. Pressure-treated wood decks typically last 12 to 20 years here with proper maintenance. Composite decking often hits 25 to 35 years. We’re not just fixing your deck—we’re making sure the repair holds up for the long term.
Late winter through early spring is ideal for getting on the schedule. That’s when most homeowners in Bohemia start noticing damage from winter weather, and it gives you time to get repairs done before you’re using your deck regularly in summer.
We can do most repairs year-round as long as temperatures are above freezing and conditions are dry. But spring and early summer book up fast because everyone wants their deck ready for the season.
If you’re seeing safety issues—loose railings, soft spots, boards that feel unstable—don’t wait for the perfect season. Those problems get worse fast, and the longer you wait, the more expensive the fix becomes. Call us when you notice something’s wrong, and we’ll get you scheduled as soon as possible.
