Deck repair for Round Lake Park homes

Round Lake Park has a small village of 1950s-to-1980s homes, and that shapes how we approach deck repair here. That means small porches and steps, which changes the prep more than the stain.

With Round Lake nearby 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 Round Lake Park

  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.

Round Lake Park deck repair FAQ

Will the new boards match my deck?

New wood is lighter than 15-year-old wood. Once the deck is cleaned, brightened and stained together, a semi-transparent or semi-solid stain evens it out. With a clear sealer, new boards will show for a season.

Can you fix a wobbly railing?

Usually. Most wobbly rails are loose post connections, and through-bolting or adding blocking fixes them. If the post itself is rotted at the base it gets replaced.

How far in advance should I book deck repair in Round Lake Park?

Two to four weeks in spring and early fall, which are the busiest windows. Midsummer usually has more availability. Text photos and your town and we will give you a date with the quote.

Do you charge extra to come to Round Lake Park?

No. Round Lake Park is inside Lake County, and we cover the whole county from Libertyville with no trip charge.
