Deck Repairs

Due to the water absorb­ing (hygro­scop­ic) nature of wood, every time it rains your structure’s fram­ing and deck­ing retain mois­ture. The clos­er your deck is to the ground, the more mois­ture it absorbs from under­neath. Poor deck ven­ti­la­tion makes it worse, and then one day you notice the ear­ly warn­ing signs of wood rot like mold, mildew, and fun­gus. Mean­while, on top of the deck, while you’re enjoy­ing some Fourth-of-July hot­dogs, the sun’s pow­er­ful UV rays method­i­cal­ly dry out the exposed sur­faces of your wood boards.

Warn­ing Signs Your Aging Wood Deck Needs Repairs

The best way to ensure your wood deck’s appear­ance and longevi­ty is by hav­ing one of our Seal-a-Deck tech­ni­cians look it over. If our tech­ni­cian finds vis­i­ble signs of exces­sive wear, they will point those prob­lem­at­ic deck areas out to you, and then pro­vide a writ­ten esti­mate for our expert deck con­struc­tion and repair services.

Deck Stairs

Whether your deck has two steps or two dozen, it’s no secret that your wood stairs take a beat­ing from foot traf­fic and Moth­er Nature. As a result, they’re usu­al­ly the first part of your deck to show signs of wear-and-tear, like cracked treads and upward cup­ping vis­i­ble on wood edges. As the wood con­tin­ues to shrink and expand from mois­ture and sun­light, nails can start pop­ping up from the boards. Unfor­tu­nate­ly, this aging process is irre­versible, which means your stairs’ con­di­tion will only get worse until they’re replaced.

How to Tell When Your Deck Stairs Are No Longer Safe

When your deck stairs have seen bet­ter days, the pros at Seal-a-Deck can replace them with new ones that will blend seam­less­ly into your over­all deck’s appear­ance. If you want to give your deck a style makeover, refresh it’s look by choos­ing from these deck stair options:

• Closed stairs
• Con­tem­po­rary stairs
• Open stringer stairs
• Tra­di­tion­al stairs

Deck Rail­ings

Years of con­stant expo­sure to wind, mois­ture and sun­light can cause wood deck rail­ings to warp, fade and crack. Those weak­ened or rot­ten rail­ings and balus­ters can give way with lit­tle or no warn­ing, result­ing in seri­ous injuries to those who were lean­ing on them for support.

Porch Repair

Like decks, porch­es need occa­sion­al repairs and main­te­nance to keep them safe and beau­ti­ful. Expo­sure to Mass­a­chu­setts’ harsh win­ter weath­er, the ele­ments, and con­tin­u­ous use can cause dam­age to your porch’s struc­ture. As the wood begins to fade and fail, the dam­age can spread through­out the porch, increas­ing the risk of caus­ing injury and dimin­ish­ing your home’s appearance.

At SEAL-A-DECK, we offer detailed inspec­tions to deter­mine if your porch shows signs of wear and/​or dam­age. We’ll give you a writ­ten esti­mate that helps you under­stand the prob­lems we find and the repairs we sug­gest. Once the job begins, we’ll repair or replace any damaged:

• Boards
• Rail­ings
• Balustrades
• Columns
• Posts

Our mate­ri­als are the high­est qual­i­ty and always cho­sen to com­ple­ment your Mass­a­chu­setts home. We can also help you update your porch design as we make our repairs.

Whether you have a small front porch or a large wrap­around fea­ture, our repairs will restore your home’s beau­ty and give you a space you’re proud to own.

Total Rebuilds

At SEAL-A-DECK, we always do our best to restore the struc­ture you already have to save you mon­ey and min­i­mize the incon­ve­nience cre­at­ed by the demands of your project. Some­times, how­ev­er, age, poor con­struc­tion integri­ty, dam­age, and rot can cause prob­lems that are impos­si­ble or too expen­sive to fix. If this is the case for your deck, the safest or most cost-effec­tive solu­tion may be a full rebuild of your deck.

Total deck rebuilds can be a big project, but they also offer the oppor­tu­ni­ty to improve the look and use of your out­door liv­ing space. We’ll work with you to design the per­fect new deck, help­ing you choose the design ele­ments you want most, including:

• Size
• Appear­ance, includ­ing mate­ri­als, col­or, shape, and more
• Rail­ings
• Stairs
• Fix­tures
• Light­ing
• And more!

If you’ve always want­ed an enclosed space or dreamed of adding an out­door cook­ing area, now is the time to do it!

From start to fin­ish, SEAL-A-DECK will give you con­fi­dence in your deck’s design and con­struc­tion. Your deck will no longer be an eye­sore or safe­ty haz­ard, giv­ing you the free­dom to use and enjoy an out­door space that offers both com­fort and curb appeal.
