Deck Repair & Replacement Experts
Rotted boards, a railing that moves when you grab it, boards that bounce when you walk across them - these are your deck telling you something. After 5,000+ projects since 1984, we can look at a deck and tell you exactly what's wrong, what it costs to fix, and whether fixing it even makes sense. Call (512) 812-8168 and we'll come take a look. If a $2,000 repair buys you ten more good years, we'll tell you that. If a repair would be throwing money at a deck that's done, we'll tell you that too.
From Our Team on Repair vs. Replace
Here's the honest truth about deck repair: the damage you can see is almost never the whole story. Gray, cracked deck boards look bad, but boards are the cheap part. What decides repair versus replace is what's underneath - the ledger connection to your house, the joists, the beams, and the footings. I've crawled under decks with beautiful new boards sitting on joists so rotten I could push a screwdriver through them. And I've seen ugly, weathered decks with bone-dry framing that just needed a new walking surface and railings. That's why we start every repair call with a real inspection, not a guess from the driveway. We'd rather tell you the truth today and earn your replacement job in five years than sell you a repair that fails in two. After 42 years in this business, our reputation is worth more than any single job.
Why It Matters
A failing deck isn't a cosmetic problem, it's a safety problem. Most deck collapses trace back to two failure points: the ledger connection pulling away from the house, and rotted posts or footings giving way under load. Both hide from view until they let go, usually when the deck is full of people. In Central Texas, our expansive clay soil heaves footings seasonally and our brutal sun cooks fasteners and flashing. A deck that was built fine in 2005 may not be fine today. An inspection costs you a phone call; ignoring the wobble can cost a lot more.
A Straight Answer, Not a Sales Pitch
We tell you whether your deck is worth repairing before we quote anything. If replacement is the smarter spend, we say so and show you why - rot you can probe, connections you can see moving. No scare tactics, no invented urgency.
42 Years of Diagnostic Experience
Since 1984 we've built, repaired, and torn out thousands of Central Texas decks. We know exactly where decks fail here: ledger flashing, post bases, stair stringers, and footings in clay soil. We check the failure points other contractors walk right past.
Repairs Done to Current Code
Old decks were often built to codes that no longer exist - 2x2 railings, notched posts, nailed ledgers. When we repair, we bring the repaired sections up to today's standards, so your deck is genuinely safer, not just prettier.
Fixed Written Pricing
Repair work is where some contractors love to 'discover' problems mid-job. Not us. After we open things up and assess, your quote is your price, in writing. We've been estimating this work long enough to get it right the first time.
Same Crew, Start to Finish
The experienced crew that starts your repair finishes it. On repair work that matters even more than new construction, because good repair means understanding how the original deck was built and matching it properly.
Warranty on the Work
Our repair work carries our 1-year workmanship warranty in writing, and any new materials carry their manufacturer warranties, up to 50 years on premium composite. A repair from us isn't a patch, it's a fix.
Our Process
Call Us & Describe the Problem
Call (512) 812-8168 and tell us what you're seeing - soft boards, a leaning post, a railing that moves, storm damage. We can often tell you over the phone whether it sounds urgent and what the likely fix looks like. If your deck feels unsafe, stay off it until we've looked at it.
10 minutes
On-Site Inspection
We inspect the parts of your deck that actually decide its fate: the ledger and flashing at the house, the joists and beams underneath, post bases and footings, stairs, and railings. We probe suspect wood, check connections, and show you what we find - you'll see exactly what we see.
1 hour
Honest Verdict & Fixed Quote
You get a straight answer: repair, or replace. If repair makes sense, we quote the specific scope in writing at a fixed price, with a free quote within 24 hours. If the deck is past saving, we'll explain why and price a rebuild on the existing footprint so you can compare real numbers.
Within 24 hours
Repair Work
Our crew - the same crew, start to finish - completes the repair, bringing repaired sections up to current code. Most repairs finish in 1-4 days. Where finishes are involved, we blend the repair into the existing deck as closely as materials allow, and we're upfront about how close that match will be.
1-4 days typical
Walkthrough & Warranty
We walk the finished work with you, load-test railings and stairs, explain what we fixed and what to keep an eye on as the rest of the deck ages, and hand over your 1-year workmanship warranty in writing plus manufacturer warranties on any new materials.
