Signs that Your Deck Needs Repair and Restoration

• Your deck is one of your prized possessions but
  do you give it the attention it deserves. A deck
  withstands the weather all the year round and, in
  some states, is open to extreme weather
  fluctuations, from scorching summers to freezing
  winters. Hence, periodical deck repair and
  restoration work should be carried out to get
  more years of life from the structure.
• It is advisable to carry out a detailed
  inspection of your deck before calling in deck
  repair professionals. You will then get an
  accurate picture of the extent of work required
  to get the deck back in shape. You will also know
  how much it should cost for the repair job.

Here are some areas to focus on while checking
the state of your deck.

• Splintered deck boards Check for splintered deck
  boards. If a couple of them show cracks and
  splinters it is not a cause of concern. But if it
  is in multiple places, it calls for thorough deck
  repair job. 
• Loose railings This should not be neglected as
  it is a major safety hazard and should be fixed
  as soon as possible.

• Rotting posts Nowadays, it is mandatory to build
  decks on concrete footings but was not so in the
  past. Support posts that rest on the ground
  absorb moisture and the wood in these areas tends
  to rot quickly. Check if this is happening to
  your deck and if so, immediately contact deck
  repair specialists to fix things. 
• Soil erosion When the soil around the footing
  shifts because of erosion, the structural
  integrity of the deck is impacted and should be
  quickly attended to. 
• Tick these boxes and call for deck
  repair contractors if required.
