No more avoiding certain spots or warning guests about loose boards. You get a deck that’s structurally sound and built to handle whatever Long Island weather throws at it.
Your family can run around safely. Your barbecues happen without worry. And you actually use your outdoor space instead of stressing about it.
The deck becomes what it should be—a place where memories happen, not where you worry about someone getting hurt.
Home Team Construction has been fixing decks across Suffolk County for over 10 years. We understand exactly how Long Island’s salt air, winter freeze-thaw cycles, and summer storms affect deck materials.
As a fully licensed and insured company, we know local building codes and use repair approaches that work specifically for Suffolk County’s climate. Our team has seen what works and what doesn’t when it comes to lasting deck repairs in Selden.
We’re not just another contractor—we’re Long Island locals who understand the specific challenges your deck faces every season.
First, we assess what’s actually wrong. Not everything that looks bad needs replacing, and some problems that seem minor can be safety issues. We’ll walk the deck with you and explain exactly what we’re seeing.
Next, you get a clear breakdown of what needs fixing and what it’ll cost. No surprises, no “additional work discovered” halfway through the job.
Then we get to work. We protect your property, complete the repairs efficiently, and clean up thoroughly each day. Most deck repairs in Suffolk County take 1-3 days depending on the scope of work.

We handle everything from simple board replacements to complete structural repairs. Wood deck board replacement, composite deck repair, railing fixes, stair repairs, and post and joist reinforcement.
Suffolk County’s coastal location means decks face unique challenges. Salt air accelerates corrosion of fasteners and hardware. Winter ice and snow create expansion and contraction that loosens connections. Summer storms can cause immediate damage that needs prompt attention.
Our repair approach accounts for these local conditions. We use appropriate fasteners, sealers, and techniques that work specifically for Long Island’s climate. The result is repairs that last longer and perform better than generic fixes.
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.
Most homeowners find that investing in proper repairs now saves them thousands in emergency repairs later, especially since insurance typically doesn’t cover damage from neglect.
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. 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 to get into places it shouldn’t.
That’s why we inspect every part of your deck structure, from the foundation up, to catch problems before they become safety hazards.
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, multiple board replacement, or railing installation typically take 2-3 days. Weather can affect timing, especially during Long Island’s wet seasons.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline during the initial inspection and keep you updated if anything changes during the repair process. The goal is to get your deck safe and usable again as quickly as possible.
This depends on the extent of damage and the 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. Most deck problems can be repaired without full replacement—loose boards, wobbly railings, and surface wear are typically repair jobs.
If the structural posts or joists are rotted, sagging significantly, or if more than 60% of the deck boards need replacement, rebuilding might be more cost-effective. We’ll inspect the framework underneath and give you an honest assessment.
For wood decks, we can usually match species, grade, and dimensions. For composite decking, matching depends on the manufacturer and age of the existing material, since colors and styles change over time.
We’ll assess your existing materials before starting work and let you know if perfect matching is possible or if there will be slight variations. Sometimes strategic placement of new materials can minimize any visual differences.
When exact matching isn’t possible, we’ll discuss options like replacing entire sections for consistency, or choosing complementary materials that work well together. The goal is repairs that look intentional, not patched.
As licensed contractors familiar with Suffolk County building codes, we understand which deck repairs require permits and which don’t. Minor repairs like replacing a few boards typically don’t need permits, while structural work often does.
We’ll let you know during the initial assessment if permits are required for your specific repairs. If permits are needed, we can guide you through the process and ensure all work meets local building code requirements.
This protects you from potential issues down the road and ensures the repairs are done properly according to Suffolk County standards. Working with licensed professionals means you don’t have to worry about compliance issues.
