Call for a deck repair review when you notice soft or cracked boards, loose or wobbly railings, unsteady stairs, rusted hardware or framing that stays wet. Catching these early keeps a small repair from growing.
Check the surface
Walk the deck slowly. Note boards that flex, feel spongy, have deep cracks or have nails and screws working loose.
Check railings and stairs
Push gently on railings and posts. Any movement deserves attention. Stairs should feel solid with treads that do not rock.
Look underneath
Framing
If you can safely see under the deck, look for dark, soft or crumbling wood and standing water.
Hardware
Salt air near the coast can be hard on metal connectors and fasteners. Rust is worth pointing out to your builder.
When to stop using the deck
If a railing is loose or a section feels unstable, keep people off that area until it has been looked at.
