Local deck building for Plainfield
Just replacing the boards can work when the frame's flat, dry and spaced right. We look first, cause composite might need the joists closer together than the old wood boards did.
Downspouts and yard drainage need a clear path around the new posts and stairs. We work those into the layout instead of sending water toward the house.
Downspouts and Decks
A downspout that empties right under a deck keeps the ground wet and the framing damp, and over time that’s where the rot starts. When we lay out a new deck, we look at where the downspouts go and plan an extension or a different path so the water ends up out in the yard, not under the boards.Adding a Cover
A lot of folks here want some kind of roof or shade over part of the deck. If you think you’ll want one later, tell us now, cause the footings and posts for a roof need to be bigger than for a plain deck, and it’s a lot cheaper to put them in during the build than to add them later.Replacing a Weathered Builder Deck
The treated decks that came with a lot of the houses here are getting to the age where the boards split, the nails pop up, and the stairs get wobbly. If the frame’s still sound we can put new boards and railing on it. If the joists are cupped or the posts are rotting at the bottom, a full replacement usually costs less over time than patching it every spring.Services Available in Plainfield
