Deck Repair in South End, Boston MA
Split boards, loose rails and soft joists get fixed before any finish goes down.
How this plays out in South End
Porches, decks and exterior stairs in South End take the full freeze-thaw cycle. Curved facades mean no straight runs. Sash, trim and cornice work on a bowfront takes longer than the equivalent flat elevation and should be priced that way. Structure gets checked before any finish goes down.
Our process
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.
Common failure we see
Refinishing a deck without checking the ledger. A beautiful stain job on a deck that's pulling off the house is worse than useless.
