Home Team Construction has deep knowledge of Suffolk County homes and the specific deck problems caused by Long Island’s harsh Northeast weather. We’re fully licensed and insured professionals who understand local building codes and coastal climate challenges.
Melville homeowners trust us because we’ve seen it all – from moisture damage in humid summers to freeze-thaw cycles that crack boards in winter. We use pressure-treated lumber, composite boards, and corrosion-resistant hardware that withstand Long Island’s elements for years.
Most deck problems start where you can’t see them. Support posts rot from the inside out, joists weaken from moisture exposure, and flashing fails allowing water into places it shouldn’t.
We start with a detailed inspection of your deck’s structure, looking for signs of damage, wear, and potential hazards. We check the framework, boards, and railing system, ensuring everything is secure and functional. Then we provide a detailed, transparent estimate so you know exactly what you’re paying for before work begins.
Most deck repairs in Suffolk County take 1-3 days depending on the scope of work. Simple repairs like replacing a few boards or fixing loose railings can be completed in a day. More extensive repairs involving structural work typically take 2-3 days.

Suffolk County’s climate creates specific deck problems. The most common issues we see are rotting boards and support posts from moisture exposure, loose or damaged railings, cracked or warped decking boards, and gaps between the deck and house. Long Island’s humid summers and wet winters are particularly hard on wood decks.
We address both surface damage and underlying structural issues. From rotting support posts to warped decking boards, we identify problems early and fix them right the first time. For Suffolk County’s coastal climate, we recommend pressure-treated lumber for structural repairs and either composite or cedar for decking boards.
Composite materials handle moisture better and don’t rot, but cost more upfront. Cedar naturally resists moisture and insects but needs regular maintenance. For hardware, we use only corrosion-resistant fasteners and brackets designed for coastal environments.
Deck repair costs in Suffolk County typically range from $1,000 to $5,000 depending on the extent of damage and materials needed. Minor repairs like replacing a few boards or tightening railings cost less, while structural repairs involving support posts, joists, or extensive board replacement cost more.
The key is catching problems early—the longer you wait, the more expensive repairs become. We provide detailed, transparent estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying for before work begins. We don’t add surprise costs or upsells—just the repairs you actually need.

Weather can affect timing, especially during Long Island’s wet seasons. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during our initial inspection and keep you updated if anything changes during the repair process. The goal is getting your deck safe and functional as quickly as possible without cutting corners.
This depends on the extent of damage and your deck’s age. If less than 25% of your deck boards need replacement and the structure is sound, repair is usually the better choice. However, if you have widespread rot, multiple structural issues, or the deck is over 20 years old with ongoing problems, replacement might make more sense long-term.
We’ll assess your deck honestly and give you straight answers about what makes the most financial sense. Professional deck repair costs less than replacement while adding years of safe use to your outdoor space. But if the damage is too extensive, we’ll tell you upfront.
