What We Repair and Restore
Most deck work falls into a handful of categories, and we handle all of them, from a single rotted board to a full surface restoration. If you’re not sure where your deck falls, send us photos and we’ll respond with a verbal first impression and a site-visit timeline. Photos help us scope the inspection and bring the right tools and replacement materials.
Board replacement
Individual surface boards that have split, warped, cupped, or rotted, the most common cedar deck repair. We match replacement boards to the existing material, and they weather to blend with the surrounding boards over time. Where matching is critical, we order from the original manufacturer when the brand and line are known.
Joist and beam repair
Structural framing that has rotted, most often at ground-contact points and water-exposed connections. Options range from sistering a new joist alongside the damaged one to replacing the affected section. Significant joist failure usually points to full replacement rather than a repair, and we’ll say so.
Fastener replacement
Failing screws, popped nails, and corroded brackets, replaced with stainless or coated hardware sized for the joist and board. Galvanized hardware at the end of its life on pool-exposed decks gets upgraded to stainless steel.
Railing and post repair
Loose railings, rotted posts at the base, and baluster failures. Railing repair often pulls code review into scope, since older railings may sit below current code for height or baluster spacing. Where a gap exists, we either bring the railing up to code or recommend full replacement.
Surface refinishing
Cedar needs resealing; ipe and tigerwood need an oil refresh. This is the restoration side of what we do, bringing a sound deck’s surface back without replacing boards, and it’s covered in its own section below.
Why We Inspect Before Bidding
We don’t bid deck repairs sight-unseen. Even with photos, the structural condition underneath often differs from what shows on the surface. A deck with one rotted board can have framing damage reaching well past it; a deck with cosmetic stain failure can have structurally sound framing throughout. The inspection determines the actual scope.
What we look at: surface condition (boards, fasteners, stain or oil), structural framing (joists, beams, ledger board, posts), footings, railings (height, baluster spacing, stability), and the ledger attachment to the home, where water intrusion behind it is the most common hidden failure point.
The honest replace-vs-repair call. If the deck is past repair, we say so. Structural framing failure, footing settlement, or significant code gaps usually point to replacing it entirely rather than repair. We make that call even when it means a smaller repair scope, or none, for us. The inspection produces a written estimate covering scope, material, labor, and timeline, and for repairs that aren’t cost-effective against replacement, we present both options with the cost difference and let you decide.
Bringing the Surface Back (Restoration)
Restoration is the refinishing side of our work, and it’s the most common thing we do to a deck that’s structurally sound. Cedar reseal, hardwood oil refresh, and composite cleaning extend the visual life of a deck without replacing a single board. If your deck’s problem is how it looks rather than how it stands, restoration is usually the right scope.
Our refinishing process: cleaning with a deck-safe cleaner, brightening cedar where needed, a proper drying period, and applying stain or oil by brush or rag. Spray or roller application produces a less durable result, and we don’t use it on hardwoods. Refinishing is typically a one to two-day scope depending on deck size. For the wood species and finish products we recommend, see the wood deck installation page.
If what you actually want is a fresh stain or seal on a deck that doesn’t need any repair, that’s a standalone deck staining service rather than restoration, and it’s the cleaner path for a purely cosmetic refresh or a recurring reseal schedule.
How a Repair or Restoration Job Works
Step 1, photos and inquiry.
Send photos of the damage from several angles, with some context from the wider deck. Photos help us understand the scope before the visit and bring the right tools and materials when we come out.
Step 2, site inspection.
Free site visit, usually scheduled within five to seven business days of the inquiry. The inspection covers surface, structure, footings, railings, and ledger attachment, and ends with a verbal scope of work. A written estimate follows within two to three business days.
Step 3, material order and scheduling.
For repairs needing specific materials, matched cedar grade, ipe boards, or a manufacturer-specific composite, we order and schedule the date once they arrive. Standard fastener and hardware repairs can usually be scheduled sooner.
Step 4, repair or restoration execution.
Work runs per the estimated scope. Most residential jobs are one to two days on site. Surface protection, debris cleanup, and a final walkthrough are part of every scope.
Step 5, walkthrough and warranty.
A final walkthrough with you to confirm the scope is complete. Our workmanship warranty on repair work is 1 year, and material warranties pass through from the manufacturer where they apply.
Where We Do Repair and Restoration Work
Most of our repair and restoration work is across the Austin metro, from Central and South Austin out through the Hill Country corridor, where a lot of the older deck stock needs attention.
We do cedar repairs and refinishing across West Lake Hills repairs, and a mix of cedar refinishing and composite repair on Bee Cave repairs.
We also handle humidity-related repairs and board replacement at water-exposed connections on Lakeway repairs, and work across greater Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, and Georgetown. For commercial deck repair, we work throughout the metro.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you come out to inspect?
Usually five to seven business days from inquiry to site visit. Emergency repairs like safety concerns or fall hazards are prioritized when possible. We ask for photos to confirm the inquiry before scheduling.
What's the smallest repair you'll take on?
No minimum. Small repairs, a few boards, a loose railing post, or a single rotted joist, are scoped at hourly labor plus materials. Larger repairs run at the written estimate scope.
Can you match my existing deck material?
Usually. Cedar matching is straightforward when the grade is known. Composite matching needs the manufacturer and line, and we order replacement boards from the original manufacturer when possible. Ipe and tigerwood are matched by hand-selecting boards close to the existing color and figure.
What's the difference between deck repair and deck restoration?
Repair fixes what’s failing, structurally or on the surface: boards, joists, fasteners, railings. Restoration brings a structurally sound deck’s surface back through cleaning, resealing, or an oil refresh, without replacing boards. Many jobs are one or the other; some are both. The inspection tells us which you need.
Can you refinish my composite deck?
Composite doesn’t need refinishing in the traditional sense, since the capped polymer surface is the finish. What it needs is cleaning, sometimes aggressive cleaning to lift deep stains or mildew. We use manufacturer-approved cleaning products for composite.
What if you find more damage than expected during the inspection?
We document what we find and give you a revised scope. If the extra damage pushes the job into replacement territory, we say so honestly, with the cost comparison, and you make the call from there.
What's your repair warranty?
One year of workmanship on the repair scope. Material warranties pass through from the manufacturer where they apply. Composite boards typically carry manufacturer warranties; hardwood isn’t warranted the same way, though we stand behind our installation work.
