Deck Repair & Restoration
Bring your old deck back to life with expert repairs and restoration services.
Your deck doesn't need to be falling apart to benefit from professional repairs. At Boardwalk Vacaville Deck Builder, we fix everything from loose boards and wobbly railings to serious structural issues. Sometimes a deck just needs some attention to be safe and beautiful again. We assess the damage honestly and recommend repairs that make sense for your budget.
Common Deck Problems We Fix
Vacaville's weather is tough on outdoor wood. Hot, dry summers can cause boards to crack and split. Winter moisture leads to rot in places where water collects. We see these issues all the time, and we know how to fix them right.
- •Rotted or damaged boards: We replace individual boards or entire sections
- •Loose or broken railings: Safety is critical, we tighten or rebuild railings
- •Structural problems: Sagging decks, weak joists, or unstable posts
- •Faded or peeling finish: Stripping and refinishing to protect the wood
- •Popped nails or screws: Refastening loose decking properly
- •Unsafe stairs: Rebuilding or reinforcing steps for safety
Not sure what your deck needs? We offer free inspections. We'll walk your deck with you, point out problem areas, and explain what needs immediate attention versus what can wait.
Should You Repair or Replace?
This is the big question we help homeowners answer. If the deck structure is solid but the surface is worn, repairs usually make sense. If more than 40 percent of your deck has problems, or if the frame itself is compromised, a full replacement might be smarter.
We're honest about this. We won't push you into a full rebuild if repairs will do the job. On the other hand, we won't patch up a deck that's past its prime. Safety comes first, and we want you to get the best value for your investment.
Restoration can include replacing all the decking boards while keeping the frame, upgrading to composite materials for easier maintenance, adding new railings for a fresh look, or refinishing the entire deck with quality stain and sealant.
How We Handle Repairs
First, we inspect your deck thoroughly. We look at the ledger board connection to your house, check all the posts and beams, examine the joists, and test the railings. We take photos and measurements so we can give you an accurate estimate.
Once we start work, we remove damaged materials carefully and replace them with quality lumber that matches your existing deck. If we're doing a full restoration, we may strip everything down to the frame, reinforce as needed, and rebuild the surface with new materials. The result looks and feels like a new deck at a fraction of the cost.
