Your deck should be a place where you feel completely confident. No more testing boards before you step. No more avoiding certain areas because they feel unstable.
When we finish your deck repair, you’ll walk out knowing every board is secure, every railing is solid, and every structural component meets safety standards. Your family can use the entire deck without worry.
The difference is in the details. We don’t just replace what’s obviously broken – we identify and fix the underlying issues that caused the damage in the first place.
We’ve been serving Amityville homeowners who need their decks fixed right the first time. We understand how Long Island’s weather affects deck materials – from the salt air that accelerates corrosion to the freeze-thaw cycles that loosen fasteners.
Our team knows the local building codes and permit requirements. We’ve seen every type of deck problem that occurs in this area, from foundation settling issues common in older Amityville neighborhoods to the specific challenges that come with different deck materials.
When you work with us, you’re working with contractors who live and work in your community. We’re not just passing through – we’re your neighbors.
We start with a comprehensive deck inspection, checking every component from the foundation posts to the top rail. This isn’t a quick visual check – we test structural integrity, measure deflection, and identify both obvious problems and potential issues.
Next, we provide you with a detailed assessment that explains exactly what needs repair, why it’s necessary, and what happens if you wait. No surprises, no pressure – just clear information so you can make the right decision.
During the repair process, we work systematically to address structural issues first, then move to surface repairs and finishing work. We protect your property, work efficiently, and keep you informed about progress every step of the way.

Our deck repair services cover everything from minor board replacement to major structural repairs. Wood deck board replacement addresses rotting, warped, or damaged decking. Composite deck repair handles issues specific to synthetic materials, including fading, staining, and expansion problems.
Deck railing repair ensures your safety barriers meet current codes and provide reliable protection. Structural deck repair addresses foundation, joist, and beam problems that affect the entire deck’s stability. Deck stair repair fixes treads, risers, and handrails to eliminate trip hazards.
In Amityville’s coastal environment, we often see accelerated wear on metal fasteners and flashing. We use marine-grade hardware and proper moisture barriers to ensure repairs last. Local building codes require specific railing heights and spacing – we ensure all repairs meet current requirements, even if your original deck was built to older standards.
The key indicators are how the deck feels when you walk on it and what you see underneath. If the deck bounces excessively, feels spongy in certain areas, or you notice sagging, those are signs of structural issues.
Surface problems include loose or rotting deck boards, damaged railings, or cosmetic issues like staining and weathering. Structural problems involve the support system – joists, beams, posts, and connections. We check for proper joist spacing, adequate support, and signs of water damage or insect activity in the framing.
During our inspection, we’ll show you the difference and explain what each type of repair involves. Structural repairs are more involved but absolutely necessary for safety, while surface repairs improve appearance and prevent further damage.
Most deck repairs take 2-5 days depending on the extent of work needed. Simple board replacement or railing repairs can often be completed in 1-2 days. More extensive structural repairs involving joists, posts, or foundation work typically require 3-5 days.
Weather can affect the timeline, especially for structural work that shouldn’t be done in wet conditions. We schedule repairs during favorable weather windows and have backup dates available if conditions change.
We provide a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes. Most homeowners are surprised how quickly we can restore their deck to safe, usable condition without disrupting their routine more than necessary.
Composite decking repair depends on the type and extent of damage. Surface scratches, stains, and minor gouges can often be repaired using specialized techniques and materials designed for synthetic decking. Deeper damage, structural cracks, or severe fading usually requires board replacement.
The challenge with composite repairs is matching the color and texture of existing materials, especially if the deck is several years old. We work with major composite manufacturers to source matching materials when possible, or recommend strategic replacement patterns that create an intentional design element.
For composite deck repairs, we also address the underlying causes – improper installation, inadequate ventilation, or structural movement that caused the damage. Simply replacing damaged boards without fixing the root cause leads to repeated problems.
We handle all permit requirements for deck repairs that need them. Most minor repairs like board replacement or railing fixes don’t require permits, but structural work, electrical additions, or changes to the deck footprint typically do.
We’re familiar with Amityville’s building department requirements and can quickly determine what permits are needed. We prepare and submit all paperwork, coordinate inspections, and ensure the work meets current codes even if your original deck was built to older standards.
The permit process usually adds 1-2 weeks to the project timeline, but it’s essential for major repairs. Permitted work provides documentation for insurance purposes and future home sales, and ensures the repairs are done safely and legally.
We provide a comprehensive warranty that covers both materials and workmanship. Structural repairs carry a 5-year warranty on our workmanship, while surface repairs and materials are typically warranted for 2-3 years depending on the specific work performed.
Our warranty covers defects in installation, premature failure of materials we supplied, and any issues directly related to our repair work. It doesn’t cover normal wear, damage from severe weather events, or problems caused by lack of maintenance.
We stand behind our work because we use quality materials and proven repair techniques. If something goes wrong that’s covered under warranty, we’ll return and fix it at no charge. We also provide maintenance recommendations to help you get the maximum life from your repairs.
The decision depends on the extent of damage, the age of your deck, and your long-term plans. If structural damage affects more than 40% of the deck, or if the deck is over 20 years old with multiple problems, replacement might be more cost-effective.
However, many decks that look like they need replacement can be restored with targeted repairs. We can often save a deck by replacing damaged sections while keeping the sound structural elements. This approach costs significantly less than full replacement while extending the deck’s life by 10-15 years.
During our assessment, we’ll give you honest recommendations about repair versus replacement. We’ll show you exactly what’s wrong, explain your options, and provide costs for both approaches so you can make an informed decision based on your situation and budget.
