Your deck should be where you relax, not worry about safety. When boards start rotting, railings get loose, or stairs feel unstable, you need repairs that actually last.
Here’s what happens when you wait too long: small problems become expensive replacements. A loose board becomes structural damage. A wobbly railing becomes a safety hazard.
We fix deck problems the right way the first time. You get your outdoor space back without the stress of wondering if it’s safe for your family and guests.
Home Team Construction has been serving Blue Point and Long Island homeowners for years. We understand what Suffolk County weather does to decks – the freeze-thaw cycles, the coastal moisture, the summer heat that warps boards.
Most contractors treat every deck the same. We know that decks near the water face different challenges than inland properties. That’s why we choose materials and repair methods that work specifically for your location.
Our team has seen every type of deck problem Long Island weather can create. We know which repairs will hold up and which ones are just temporary fixes.
We start with a thorough inspection of your entire deck structure. Foundation, support beams, joists, decking boards, railings, stairs – everything gets checked for safety and stability.
Then we explain exactly what needs fixing and why. No technical jargon or unnecessary upselling. Just clear information about what’s wrong and what it takes to fix it properly.
During repairs, we use materials designed for Long Island’s climate. Whether it’s pressure-treated lumber that resists rot or composite materials that handle moisture better, we choose what works best for your specific situation and budget.

Wood deck board replacement handles rotting, cracking, or warped boards that make your deck unsafe or unsightly. We match existing materials when possible or upgrade to more durable options.
Structural deck repair addresses the foundation issues that threaten your deck’s stability. Loose joists, failing support posts, and compromised connections get reinforced using proper hardware and techniques.
Deck railing and stair repair focuses on the safety features you touch and rely on every day. Wobbly railings, loose balusters, and unstable steps get fixed with materials that meet current building codes.
In Blue Point’s coastal environment, we often see accelerated wear from salt air and moisture. Our repair methods account for these local conditions, using marine-grade fasteners and moisture-resistant treatments where needed.
Most deck problems can be repaired if caught early enough. Surface issues like loose boards, minor rot, or cosmetic damage typically qualify for repair.
You’re looking at replacement when more than 25% of your deck structure is compromised, when support posts are failing, or when repair costs approach 75% of replacement cost. We’ll inspect your deck thoroughly and give you honest recommendations.
The key is acting quickly when you first notice problems. A small section of rot can be repaired easily, but if it spreads to multiple joists or support beams, replacement becomes more cost-effective.
Long Island’s weather creates a perfect storm for deck damage. Winter freeze-thaw cycles cause wood to expand and contract, loosening fasteners and creating cracks where water can enter.
Coastal moisture accelerates rot and corrosion, especially in areas where drainage is poor. Summer heat and UV exposure cause warping and splitting in untreated surfaces.
Salt air near the water corrodes metal fasteners and hardware faster than inland properties experience. That’s why we use marine-grade materials in coastal locations and ensure proper ventilation under deck structures.
Repair costs depend on the extent of damage and materials needed. Simple board replacement might cost $200-500, while structural repairs involving joists or support posts range from $1,000-3,000.
The most expensive repairs involve foundation work or extensive rot damage that’s been ignored too long. This is why we always recommend addressing problems when they’re small and manageable.
We provide detailed estimates that break down exactly what needs fixing and why. No surprises or hidden costs – just honest pricing for quality work that lasts.
We repair all types of decking materials – wood, composite, PVC, and aluminum. Each material has different repair requirements and techniques.
Composite deck repair often involves replacing damaged boards or fixing loose fasteners. The hidden fastener systems used in many composite decks require specific tools and knowledge to repair properly.
Wood deck repairs range from simple board replacement to structural reinforcement. We work with pressure-treated lumber, cedar, mahogany, and other materials common in Long Island construction.
Properly done repairs using quality materials should last as long as the original construction – often 15-20 years for structural work and 10-15 years for surface repairs.
The key factors are using appropriate materials for your specific conditions, proper installation techniques, and regular maintenance. Repairs done with cheap materials or shortcuts might need redoing in just a few years.
We warranty our repair work and use materials designed for Long Island’s climate. Regular cleaning and inspection help ensure repairs perform as expected over time.
Yes, we respond quickly to dangerous situations like structural failures, loose railings, or storm damage that makes your deck unsafe to use.
Emergency repairs focus on making your deck safe immediately, then planning permanent solutions. Sometimes this means temporary supports or barriers until proper repairs can be completed.
Safety always comes first. If your deck shows signs of structural instability, loose railings, or significant damage, don’t use it until a professional inspection determines it’s safe.
