Deck Repair FAQ
How much does deck repair cost in the Atlanta area?
At our current rates, a deck rehab — new boards and railings on a structurally sound frame — runs $20–$25 per square foot, about 30–40% less than a full rebuild. Smaller repairs price by scope: joist replacement runs $75–$95 each, railing replacement $28–$60 per linear foot, and restaining about $5.50 per square foot. Every quote is written and cost-plus, with materials at actual cost.
How do I know if my deck can be repaired or needs replacement?
The frame decides it. If the posts, beams, and joists are structurally sound, we can rehab the deck — new boards, railings, and hardware — at a fraction of replacement cost. If rot has reached the frame or the ledger attachment, a rebuild is the safe call. We inspect the frame free of charge and tell you honestly which side of the line your deck is on.
Do you offer free deck inspections?
Yes — every repair quote starts with a free structural inspection. We check the ledger board attachment, post footings, joists, and railings, then give you a written assessment with transparent cost-plus pricing for whatever the deck actually needs.
What are the most common deck problems in Georgia?
Georgia's humidity and clay soil drive most of what we repair: wood rot from trapped moisture, loose or wobbly railings, boards splintering from UV exposure, sagging from undersized framing, and settling footings in expansive red clay. Decks built before current code — especially those with nailed (not bolted) ledger boards — are the highest safety priority.
How quickly can you repair a deck?
Most repairs take 1–5 days once materials are on site; full rehabs run about a week. Safety issues like failing railings or ledger problems go to the front of our schedule — call Jake directly and we'll get eyes on it fast.
