Deck Repair in Kennesaw, GA. The question is almost always the frame rather than the surface, and a screwdriver settles most of it.
Deck Repair in Kennesaw: what the local stock means
Most Kennesaw housing went up across the same two decades, which means whole streets reach the same stage at the same time. Decks built in the late nineties are at the point where the frame decides everything, and original exterior paint on those houses has usually had one repaint and is due a second.
That timing has a practical side: when one house on a street is having work done, the neighbours are often within a season of needing the same.
Repair or replace
Boards are cheap and quick. Joists, the ledger where the deck meets the house, and the posts are neither. If those are sound, replacing decking and rails is a repair. If the ledger has been letting water behind it for years, it is not.
The test takes thirty seconds
Push a screwdriver into the board. Timber that takes the blade with no resistance has gone. Timber that resists is fine under a grey surface, and that is a staining job rather than a repair. We photograph what we find and send it before quoting.
Getting an estimate
We cover Kennesaw from Woodstock, so it is a short run rather than a special trip. Estimates are written and itemised, and we will tell you when a job does not need doing yet. Finished work is on our Facebook page.
