Placeholder ImageSigns That Deck Repair is Needed There are some telltale signs that you can begin to pay attention to that’ll dictate whether your deck needs repair.

When it comes to properly maintaining your deck, it becomes imperative that you keep any eye on it regularly. In fact, beautiful patios are something many homeowners aspire to have. The reality is, decks can be unsafe when they aren’t properly maintained over the year. Ultimately, there are some telltale signs that you can begin to pay attention to that’ll dictate whether your deck needs repair — and tackling them immediately.

Rotting Wood

If you have a wood deck, then it’s incredibly important that you take the time to pay attention to support posts and beams overall. In fact, noting when these aspects of your deck actually begin to rot can be a wonderful signal to homeowners that their deck needs to be repaired immediately. The reality is, currently there are building codes and regulations that mandate that any deck be built with concrete footings. That being said, if your deck was installed before these requirements were put into place, you will likely end up facing wood deck rotting in your future. Ultimately, getting the professionals to help repair your wood deck can be a great solution so you can finally begin to enjoy your deck safely.

Erosion Around Decking Posts

Another telltale sign that your deck is in dire need of repair includes noticing any erosion around the posts. In fact, both concrete and wooden decks will usually begin to erode over time. The reality is, soil erosion is all too common among homeowners with any type of deck. Ultimately, drainage issues are incredibly common which is exactly why soil erosion can really pop up out of nowhere.

Loosening Rails Or Deterioration

A loose deck railing can usually be quite a serious safety hazard. In fact, if you notice any loose rails or deterioration with your rails can end up being a serious issue when it comes to the safety of your deck overall.

Bottom Line

At the end of the day, there is nothing worse than a deck that isn’t safe for friends and family to enjoy. In fact, given the clear signs that your deck might be unsafe, getting it repaired as soon as you notice these signs might be the best approach for homeowners to take to ensure that their home — particularly their deck is safe for everyone. The reality is, if you have any rotting wood or loose rails with your deck, you might want to contact professional contractors to help repair your deck effectively and efficiently.

We could not be more pleased with the entire process and outcome of our experience with Albaugh & Sons. From the timely turnaround on coming out to give us an estimate, to the flexibility on adjusting our proposal, and to the quick and professional installation itself. I would highly recommend Albaugh & Sons to anyone in their area of serviceability.

So great to work with. Have had the pleasure of working with both sons who were knowledgeable and courteous. The entire process was easy from estimate to completion of my new deck. Both arrived on time, had my estimate for both deck and basement remodel in a couple of days. Danny, the project manager arrived on time and explained the plans, the work crew were amazing. Old deck demolished and beautiful new composite in its place in less than 2 days. Tiffany, the office manager is prompt in responding to all emails with courteous knowledgeable answers. They make you feel like you are their only customer. Look forward to working with them for my basement remodel. I 100% recommend this company.

I had a beautiful deck built almost 2 years ago. I called yesterday about a few items that have come apart such as the pvc outside corners on the rim/ band board etc. The company was very responsive and ready and eager to help. Because of this, they have made a customer for life! Not only will you get an amazing product, but it appears you get a lifetime of amazing customer service!! 100 out of 5 stars!

We needed a fence as fast as possible for 5 rescue dogs that we took on. Albaugh and Sons was able to provide a great quote and a speedy installation. My wife and I love the new fence. It has literally improved our day to day lives by being able to let the dogs run free in the back. The materials were perfect and high quality. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

I hired Albaugh and Sons to tear out our old deck and replace it with a new composite deck/ screened porch. The front office was a pleasure to deal with and kept my wife and I informed on everything. The crew did an amazing job every step of the way. I was especially impressed with their finish work. The attention to detail was impressive! What I also liked Albaugh and Sons is they had a project manager (Danny) who would occasionally pop over and answer questions and would also keep me updated on progress. I would highly recommend hiring Albaugh and Sons for any of your fence/ deck / home improvement needs.

We are very pleased with the work done by Albaugh and sons. We had them replace our side porch and they did excellent work and built it to our request. Also had them install a three tier rail fence around our property. It is excellent and looks great. We thank Danny and his deck crew and George and his fence crew for their excellent work. I recommend them for any projects you need done. Thank you very much!!
