Home Team Construction has served Islip and the surrounding Long Island communities for years, specializing in deck repairs that last. We understand how Long Island’s seasonal weather impacts outdoor structures, from harsh winters to humid summers.
Our team knows the specific challenges that Islip homeowners face with their decks. We’ve repaired hundreds of decks damaged by nor’easters, summer storms, and the constant freeze-thaw cycles that plague this region.
When you work with us, you’re getting contractors who live and work in this area. We understand local building requirements and use materials specifically chosen to withstand Long Island’s climate conditions.
We start with a thorough inspection of your entire deck structure. This means checking every board, examining all connections, testing railings for stability, and looking underneath for hidden problems like rotted joists or compromised footings.
Next, we provide you with a detailed assessment of what needs repair and why. No surprises or hidden issues discovered halfway through the job. You’ll know exactly what work is necessary and what it will cost before we begin.
The repair work follows a logical sequence. We address structural issues first, ensuring the foundation and framing are solid. Then we replace damaged boards, fix or upgrade railings, and handle any stair repairs needed. Finally, we apply appropriate finishes to protect your investment from future weather damage.

Our deck repair services cover everything from minor board replacement to major structural reconstruction. We handle wood deck board replacement, composite deck repair, deck railing repair, structural deck repair, deck stair repair, and deck post and joist repair.
In Islip, we commonly see damage from ice storms that split railings, summer heat that warps composite boards, and moisture problems that lead to wood rot in areas with poor drainage. We’re equipped to address all these issues with the right materials and techniques.
We also provide deck inspection services for homeowners who want to catch problems early. Regular inspections can identify small issues before they become expensive repairs, especially important given Long Island’s challenging weather patterns that can accelerate deck deterioration.
Deck repair costs in Islip typically range from $750 to $3,200, depending on the extent of damage and materials needed. Simple repairs like replacing a few loose boards might cost $250 to $500, while structural repairs involving joists or support posts can reach $2,000 to $3,000.
The final cost depends on several factors: the size of the damaged area, the type of decking material, and whether structural elements need attention. Wood deck repairs generally cost less than composite deck repairs due to material prices.
We provide free estimates that break down exactly what work is needed and why, so you’ll know the total cost upfront with no surprises.
The most common deck problems we see in Islip are wood rot from moisture exposure, loose or damaged railings, and warped or cracked deck boards. Long Island’s weather patterns create perfect conditions for these issues.
Winter freeze-thaw cycles cause wood to expand and contract, leading to loose fasteners and cracked boards. Summer humidity combined with occasional flooding from storms creates moisture problems that lead to rot, especially in areas where water pools or drainage is poor.
We also frequently repair damage from ice storms that can snap railing sections and high winds that loosen boards or pull up deck screws. Regular inspection helps catch these problems before they become safety hazards.
Most deck repairs in Islip take 1-3 days to complete, depending on the scope of work. Simple repairs like replacing damaged boards or tightening loose railings can often be finished in a single day.
More extensive repairs involving structural work, multiple board replacement, or railing reconstruction typically take 2-3 days. Weather can affect timing, especially during Long Island’s unpredictable spring and fall seasons.
We schedule repairs efficiently to minimize disruption to your routine. For larger projects, we’ll discuss the timeline upfront and keep you informed of progress throughout the repair process.
If repair costs exceed 50% of replacement cost, or if more than 25% of your deck boards need replacement, full replacement might be more cost-effective. However, many deck problems can be successfully repaired at a fraction of replacement cost.
We evaluate the structural integrity of your deck’s foundation and framing. If these elements are sound, repairing surface issues like damaged boards or railings makes financial sense. If the underlying structure is compromised, replacement becomes necessary for safety.
Age also matters. Decks over 15 years old with multiple problems often benefit from replacement, while newer decks with localized damage are usually good candidates for repair. We’ll give you an honest assessment of which option makes more sense for your situation.
Yes, we provide emergency deck repair services for safety hazards like collapsed railings, broken stairs, or severely damaged boards that create immediate dangers. Long Island weather can cause sudden deck damage that needs prompt attention.
Emergency situations include railings that have pulled away from the deck, stairs that have become unstable, or large sections of decking that have become unsafe to walk on. We prioritize these calls and can often provide temporary safety measures while scheduling permanent repairs.
For emergency repairs, we’ll secure the area first to prevent accidents, then provide a permanent solution as quickly as possible. Safety always comes first, especially when children or elderly family members use the deck regularly.
We use professional-grade materials specifically chosen for Long Island’s climate conditions. For wood repairs, we typically use pressure-treated lumber that resists moisture and insect damage. For composite repairs, we match existing materials or upgrade to higher-quality composite products.
All fasteners are corrosion-resistant to handle the salt air and moisture common in the Islip area. We use galvanized or stainless steel screws and bolts that won’t rust or fail over time. Railing hardware is similarly chosen for durability and longevity.
When possible, we source materials locally to ensure quick availability and reduce project delays. We’re also happy to work with materials you provide if you have specific preferences, though we’ll advise you on suitability for your particular repair needs.
