Deck Repair
Deck Repair & Structural Repair
Pacific Northwest weather is hard on decks. Moisture works into framing, boards warp and split, and posts rot at the base. We handle deck repair in Lynnwood, Everett, and throughout Greater Seattle — from replacing a few damaged boards to rebuilding compromised structural components.
Before recommending a full replacement, we assess what's actually wrong. If the framing is sound, targeted repairs are often the most cost-effective path.
- Rotten joist and beam replacement
- Deck post and support replacement
- Damaged deck board replacement
- Stair and railing repairs
- Ledger board and connection repairs
Material Options
Cedar, Wood & Composite-Style Decking
We work with all common decking materials. The right choice depends on your budget, maintenance preferences, and how the deck will be used. We'll walk you through the trade-offs so you can make an informed decision.
Cedar Decking
Western red cedar is a classic Pacific Northwest choice — naturally resistant to rot and insects, with a warm, attractive appearance. It requires periodic sealing or staining to maintain its look and longevity.
Pressure-Treated Wood
Pressure-treated lumber is the most budget-friendly structural option and holds up well when properly maintained. Commonly used for framing and as a cost-effective decking surface.
Composite-Style Decking
Composite decking boards resist moisture, fading, and splintering with minimal maintenance. A popular choice for homeowners who want a long-lasting, low-upkeep deck surface suited to the Pacific Northwest climate.
Deck Resurfacing
Deck Resurfacing & Deck Board Replacement
If your deck's surface boards are worn, cracked, or splintering but the underlying framing is structurally sound, resurfacing is a cost-effective way to restore the deck without a full rebuild.
We remove the old decking, inspect the framing thoroughly, address any issues we find, and install new boards in your choice of material. The result is a deck that looks and performs like new at a fraction of the cost of full replacement.
Note: Resurfacing is only appropriate when the existing framing passes a structural inspection. We'll be upfront if the framing needs repair or replacement before new boards go down.
Stairs & Railings
Deck Stairs & Railings
Stairs and railings are among the most-used parts of any deck — and among the first to show wear. We build and replace deck stairs, stringers, railings, and handrails to code, whether as part of a new deck project or as a standalone repair.
Deck Stairs & Stringers
New stair construction, stringer replacement, and tread replacement. We build stairs to WA State code with proper rise-and-run ratios and secure attachment to the deck frame.
Railings & Handrails
Wood railing systems, post replacement, and handrail installation. Railings are required by code on elevated decks and need to meet height and load requirements — we build them right.
Structural Repairs
Deck Framing, Joists & Support Repairs
A deck is only as safe as its structure. Moisture intrusion, age, and deferred maintenance can compromise posts, beams, joists, and connections — often without obvious signs from the surface. We inspect and repair structural deck components to restore integrity and safety throughout Lynnwood, Everett, and Greater Seattle.
Post & Footing Repairs
Rotted or damaged deck posts and footings replaced to restore structural support.
Beam & Joist Replacement
Failed beams and joists sistered or replaced, including blocking and bridging.
Ledger Board Repairs
Ledger boards and their connections to the house inspected and repaired to prevent deck separation.
Hardware & Connections
Corroded joist hangers, post bases, and structural hardware replaced with code-compliant fasteners.
Rim Joist Replacement
Rim joists and band boards replaced when rot or damage compromises the deck perimeter.
Full Structural Assessment
Before any repair or resurfacing project, we assess the full structure and report what we find.

In addition to deck work, we install and repair residential wood fencing throughout Greater Seattle. Whether you need a new privacy fence, a replacement section, or post repairs, we can help.

Common Questions
How long does a new deck build take?
A standard 400–600 sq ft deck typically takes 5–10 days from start to finish. We'll give you a firm timeline in your estimate.
What decking materials do you recommend for the Pacific Northwest?
Composite decking holds up exceptionally well in our wet climate — it resists rot, warping, and fading. Cedar is a beautiful natural option with good durability when properly maintained. Pressure-treated lumber is a solid, budget-friendly choice. We'll walk you through the trade-offs for your specific project.
Do you pull permits for deck construction?
Permit requirements vary by city and deck height. Most decks over 30 inches off the ground require a permit. We address permit requirements when applicable and work to WA State building code.
Can you repair my existing deck instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. We assess the structure first and recommend repair when the framing is sound and it makes financial sense. We'll be straightforward with you if a full replacement is the better long-term value.
What is deck resurfacing?
Deck resurfacing means replacing the worn deck boards on top while keeping the existing framing — but only when the framing is structurally sound. It's a cost-effective option when the bones of the deck are still in good shape.
Do you handle fence installation and repair too?
Yes. We install and repair wood privacy fences, picket fences, and other residential fencing. Fence work is a secondary service alongside our deck work.
