Deck Board Repair Lincolnshire, IL

Deck repair for Lincolnshire homes

Deck repair in Lincolnshire starts with knowing the housing: wooded 1970s-to-1990s neighborhoods with mature trees. In practice that means fences and pergolas on wooded lots.

Lincolnshire sits along the Des Plaines River, and the tree cover that comes with it keeps decks and fences damp longer in the morning. We schedule washes early in the week so the wood has 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 Lincolnshire

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.
