Deck Repair in Marietta, GA. The question is almost always the frame rather than the surface, and a screwdriver settles most of it.
Deck Repair in Marietta: what the local stock means
Marietta has genuinely old stock alongside new, and the two want different hands. On a period house the trim profiles are rarely standard, so replacing a rotten section means matching it rather than buying it.
That is slower work, and a quote that does not account for it is a quote from someone who has not looked closely.
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 Marietta 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.
