Deck Board Repair Kenosha, WI

Deck repair for Kenosha homes

Most of our deck repair calls in Kenosha come from homes with a mix of historic homes near the lakefront, post-war bungalows and newer west-side subdivisions. We see a lot of cedar privacy fences across the west-side subdivisions, and the work is planned around it.

With Lake Michigan 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 Kenosha

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.
