Diagnose First.
Fix What's Actually Wrong.

Most deck repair calls start the same way: a homeowner sees a few bad boards and wants them swapped out. That's sometimes the right answer. But in our experience, visible surface damage is often a symptom of a deeper problem — soft joists, a compromised ledger, or footings that have shifted.

We inspect every deck honestly before we quote anything. We pull boards, probe joists, check the ledger connection, and look at the footings. You get a clear picture of what's actually wrong and a straight answer on whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation.

We see a lot of boards that have been patched over instead of replaced. A rotted board on top of a rotted joist just means you'll be calling someone again in two years. We do it right the first time.

Repair vs. Replace —
We Tell You Which

About 60% of “I need deck repair” calls we receive in Licking County turn into full replacements after we inspect. The decks that look repairable on the surface often have structural problems that make repair a short-term fix at best.

The other 40% really are repairable — solid frames and ledgers with surface-level damage that's been caught before it spread. We'll tell you honestly which you're dealing with. If repair is the right answer, we'll fix it. If replacement is the right answer, we won't waste your money patching something that needs to come out.

If the framing is solid and the ledger is good, repair makes sense. If the joists are soft, the footings have shifted, or the ledger is rotted or improperly flashed — you're putting good money into a structure that still has fundamental problems.
  • Board replacement using matching or upgraded material
  • Joist sistering to restore structural integrity
  • Ledger repair and proper waterproofing/flashing
  • Post base replacement and footing inspection
  • Railing rebuild to current code requirements

We can tell you after an inspection. Surface damage — rotted boards, splintering, loose railings — is repairable if the framing underneath is solid. If joists are soft, the ledger is compromised, or footings have shifted, replacement is usually the honest answer.
Yes, if the structure is sound. We'll inspect the framing first. If the joists and ledger are in good shape, board replacement is a real option. If we find structural problems once we start pulling boards, we'll stop and tell you before doing more work.
Deck repair costs vary widely depending on what needs to be fixed. Simple board replacement on a solid structure runs $800–$3,000. More extensive joist or ledger repair runs $2,000–$8,000. We provide free written estimates after inspection — call (740) 527-0222.
Simple surface repairs can be done in a day. Structural repairs — joist sistering, ledger work, post replacement — typically take 2 to 4 days depending on scope.
