Deck Board Repair Genoa City, WI

Deck repair for Genoa City homes

Genoa City has a village of older homes, newer subdivisions and rural acreage, and that shapes how we approach deck repair here. That means shaded decks along the creek corridor, which changes the prep more than the stain.

With the Nippersink Creek close by, decks and fences here hold moisture longer in the mornings. We schedule the wash early in the week so there is time to dry before stain goes on.

Staining over a rotted board is a waste of stain. It also hides the problem for a year until someone puts a foot through it. Replacing a handful of boards before staining is cheap, and new cedar or treated boards blend in well once everything is stained the same tone. We also re-drive popped nails and swap them for screws so they stop lifting.

How the job goes in Genoa City

1. InspectWe probe the boards, check fasteners, stairs and railing posts, and mark what needs replacing.
2. Replace boardsDamaged boards are removed and replaced with matching cedar or pressure-treated lumber, screwed into the joists.
3. Re-fastenPopped nails are pulled and replaced with deck screws. Loose spindles and rail caps get tightened or re-secured.
4. BlendNew boards are lightly sanded and, if we are staining, cleaned with the rest so the stain takes evenly.
