Signs a Deck Needs Work
- Boards that are soft, split or cupped
- Railings that move when you lean on them
- Stairs that bounce or have loose treads
- Posts that lean or have lifted
- Nails and screws backing out
Any of these is worth a look. A railing that moves is the one to fix first.
Repair, Resurface or Rebuild
If the frame is sound, we can replace boards and rails and keep the rest. That is called a resurface. It costs less than a new deck. If the frame or posts are weak, a rebuild is often the better deal. We show you what we find so you can see the reason for our advice.
Clay Moves Posts
Much of east Williamson County sits in Blackland Prairie country. The USDA says Houston Black clay has high shrink and swell. Over a few dry summers and wet springs, shallow posts can move. Our clay soil guide explains what we look for.
Questions About Deck Repair
Can you put new boards on my old frame?
Often, yes. We check the joists, beams and posts first. If they are solid and the spacing is right for the new boards, a resurface saves money.
Do deck repairs need a permit?
The city FAQ does not spell out deck repairs. Call the Hutto Building Department with what you plan to fix. We check before any big repair or rebuild.
