Deck Repair

Deck repair: boards, stairs and railings

Tahoe decks have a hard life: months under snow, then high-altitude sun all summer. Boards cup and split, fasteners pop, and railings work loose from people leaning on them to look at the lake.

I replace damaged boards and stair treads, re-secure and repair railings, swap popped nails for screws, and tell you honestly when the framing underneath needs more than a handyman.

Common jobs

  • Replacing rotten, split or cupped deck boards
  • Stair tread and riser replacement
  • Tightening and repairing loose railings
  • Replacing popped nails with deck screws
  • Small sections of composite decking
  • Lattice and skirting repairs
  • Pre-winter deck safety check

Scope

Board, stair and railing repairs. New decks, structural framing, ledger and footing work are done with a licensed partner or referred out.

Deck Repair: questions

Can you match my old deck boards?

Redwood and cedar are easy to source. Weathered boards won't match new ones right away, but they grey out within a season or two. Composite colors are harder; I'll check what's still made.

My railing is wobbly. Is that urgent?

Yes, especially at a rental. A railing that moves is a fall risk, and it's usually a quick fix if the posts are sound.

Do you stain or seal decks?

I can do small sections after repairs. For full deck staining I can refer a painter who specializes in it.
