We handle everything from simple board replacement to major structural repairs. You’ll get a deck that’s safe for your family and built to handle Long Island weather for years.
No more avoiding that back corner or telling guests to “watch that step.” Just a solid, reliable deck you can actually use and enjoy.

We repair all deck types and materials common in Selden homes. Wood deck board replacement, composite deck repairs, railing fixes, structural post and joist work, stair repairs, and safety inspections.
Long Island’s weather is tough on decks. Salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, and summer heat cause specific problems that need experienced solutions. We know which materials hold up best here and how to prevent future issues.
Whether your deck needs a few board replacements or major structural work, we handle projects of all sizes. From quick safety fixes to complete deck overhauls, we’ve got the experience and tools to get it done right.
Most deck problems can be repaired if caught early enough. We look at the structural integrity first – if your posts, joists, and ledger board are solid, repair is usually the smarter choice.
Signs you need immediate attention include loose railings, bouncy boards, visible rot, or stairs that feel unstable. These are safety issues that shouldn’t wait.
During our inspection, we’ll show you exactly what’s wrong and explain whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation and budget. We’re honest about when replacement is the better long-term investment.
Wood deck repairs typically involve replacing damaged boards, sanding, and refinishing to match existing materials. We can often repair small sections without affecting the entire deck appearance.
Composite deck repairs are trickier because you need exact color matches, and older composite materials may be discontinued. We keep relationships with suppliers to source matching materials when possible.
Both materials have different expansion rates and fastening requirements. We use the right techniques and hardware for each material type to ensure repairs hold up to Long Island’s weather conditions.
Simple repairs like replacing a few boards or fixing loose railings usually take one day. More extensive work like structural repairs or multiple board replacement can take 2-3 days.
Weather affects timing, especially for staining or sealing work that needs dry conditions. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes.
We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your routine. Most repairs don’t require you to completely avoid the deck area, though we’ll mark off unsafe sections until they’re fixed.
Most basic repairs don’t require permits, but structural work often does. We know Selden’s building requirements and handle permit applications when needed.
For safety-critical repairs like railing height corrections or structural modifications, we ensure everything meets current building codes. This protects you and adds value to your home.
We coordinate any required inspections and make sure all work passes on the first try. You don’t have to worry about navigating the permit process or dealing with code enforcement issues.
Board replacement typically runs $15-30 per square foot depending on material type and complexity. Railing repairs range from $200-800 depending on the extent of damage and railing style.
Structural repairs vary widely based on what’s needed. Post replacement, joist repairs, or ledger board work can range from $500-2000 per section depending on access and materials required.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down materials and labor costs. No surprise charges or hidden fees – you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before we start work.
Regular cleaning and annual inspections catch problems early when they’re cheaper to fix. We recommend power washing annually and checking for loose fasteners, especially after winter.
For wood decks, proper staining or sealing every 2-3 years prevents water damage and extends life significantly. We can recommend the best products for Long Island’s climate conditions.
Keep drainage clear around deck posts and ensure proper ventilation underneath. Trapped moisture is the biggest enemy of deck longevity, so we always check these areas during repairs and make recommendations.
