Deck Repair in Somerville, MA
Split boards, loose rails and soft joists get fixed before any finish goes down.
Somerville specifics
Decks, porches and exterior stairs in Somerville take the full freeze-thaw cycle. Front and rear porches carry three households and take the full weather load. Rails, decking and post bases rot first and painting over soft wood buys one winter. Structure gets checked before any finish goes down.
How we do it
Split boards, loose rails and soft joists get fixed before any finish goes down.
Ledger connection first — that's the structural one, and it's where failures happen. Then joists, posts, stair stringers, then the cosmetic decking and rails.
Where these jobs go wrong
Refinishing a deck without checking the ledger. A beautiful stain job on a deck that's pulling off the house is worse than useless.
