Your deck should be a place where you feel confident letting the kids play and hosting summer barbecues. Not a hazard you’re constantly worrying about.
When we finish your deck repair, you’ll have solid footing under your feet again. No more loose boards that flex when you walk on them. No more wobbly railings that make you nervous when guests lean against them. Just a sturdy, reliable deck that’s ready for whatever you throw at it.
You’ll know exactly what we fixed and why it needed fixing. We don’t just patch problems—we solve them so they stay solved.
We’ve been fixing decks across Setauket and the broader Brookhaven area for years. We understand how Long Island’s weather beats up outdoor structures—the freeze-thaw cycles that crack boards, the humidity that promotes rot, the storms that loosen connections.
We’re not the guys who show up, slap on a quick fix, and disappear. We’re local contractors who live in this community and stake our reputation on work that lasts. When your neighbors ask who fixed your deck, you’ll be comfortable giving them our name.
Our team knows the local building codes and works with materials that can handle what Mother Nature dishes out here on the Island.
First, we inspect every inch of your deck to find not just the obvious problems, but the ones that will become problems if left alone. Loose boards, rotting joists, corroded fasteners, unstable railings—we document it all.
Then we explain what we found in plain English. No technical jargon or scare tactics. Just the facts about what needs fixing now versus what can wait, and why.
We handle the repairs using materials designed for Long Island’s climate. Quality lumber, galvanized fasteners, proper flashing—the stuff that actually lasts. You’ll see the work happening, and we’ll walk you through what we did when we’re finished.

We handle everything from replacing a few loose deck boards to rebuilding entire sections of structural framing. Wood deck board replacement, composite deck repair, deck railing repair, structural deck repair, deck stair repair, and deck post and joist repair are all part of what we do.
In Setauket, we see a lot of damage from our coastal climate. Salt air accelerates corrosion of metal fasteners. Freeze-thaw cycles split boards and loosen connections. Heavy snow loads stress structural members. We’ve repaired decks damaged by all of these conditions and know which materials and methods hold up best.
Whether you need a few warped deck boards straightened out or a complete safety inspection and repair of structural issues, we’ve got the experience to handle it right.
The key difference is whether the problem is cosmetic or affects the deck’s ability to safely support weight. Loose or warped boards on the surface are usually a board replacement issue. But if you notice the deck bouncing when you walk on it, railings that move when you grab them, or visible sagging in any section, those are structural problems.
We start every job with a thorough inspection of the framing, joists, posts, and connections underneath your deck. If the bones are solid, we can often fix surface issues quickly and affordably. If there’s structural damage, we’ll show you exactly what’s compromised and explain why it needs attention before someone gets hurt.
Repair makes sense when the structural framework is still solid and you’re dealing with surface-level problems like damaged boards, loose railings, or minor rot in isolated areas. Replacement becomes necessary when the underlying structure is compromised or when repair costs approach replacement costs.
In Setauket, we often see decks where the framing is fine but the decking and railings need work due to weather exposure. That’s a perfect repair scenario. But if the posts are rotting at ground level or the joists are sagging from years of moisture damage, replacement might be your better long-term investment. We’ll give you an honest assessment of which route makes more sense for your situation and budget.
Most deck board replacement and railing repair jobs take one to three days, depending on the extent of damage and size of your deck. Structural repairs involving posts, joists, or framing can take longer—typically three to five days for major work.
Weather plays a role in our scheduling here on Long Island. We won’t do structural work in the rain, and some materials need dry conditions to cure properly. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if weather or unexpected discoveries affect our schedule. The goal is to get your deck safe and usable again as quickly as possible while doing the work right.
We can usually match or closely approximate most deck materials, though exact matches aren’t always possible with older or discontinued products. For wood decks, we can often find the same species and grade. For composite decking, we work with suppliers to source matching or compatible materials from the same manufacturer.
Sometimes we recommend upgrading to newer, more durable materials during repairs, especially if your existing deck has had repeated problems with the original materials. We’ll show you samples and explain the pros and cons of matching versus upgrading so you can make the decision that’s right for your situation and budget.
Yes, we repair decks built with pressure-treated lumber, cedar, composite materials like Trex and TimberTech, and PVC decking. Each material has its own repair techniques and compatible fasteners, and we stock the right hardware for each type.
We also handle mixed-material repairs where homeowners want to upgrade part of their deck while keeping other sections. For example, replacing wood railings with low-maintenance composite while keeping the existing wood decking. Our experience with different materials means we can recommend the best approach for your specific deck and maintenance preferences.
Stop using that area of your deck immediately if boards are significantly loose or damaged. Loose boards can shift unexpectedly and cause falls, and damaged boards may not support normal weight loads safely.
Give us a call for a safety inspection as soon as possible. We can often secure loose boards temporarily while we order replacement materials, so you don’t have to stay off your deck for weeks. For minor issues like a single loose board, we might be able to fix it the same day. For more extensive damage, we’ll prioritize the safety repairs first so you can use the safe portions of your deck while we complete the full repair.
