Columbus, OH Deck Repair by Sears Handyman Solutions

Many families enjoy using their decks as a gathering place during the warmer months. While decks are great gathering spaces, they are subject to wear over time. Time takes its toll on decks, and many decks are in need of basic repairs a few years after installation. At other times, decks need major repairs to ensure they maintain their structural integrity.

Some deck repairs are minor but important. Rusted screws should be replaced and any loose screws tightened. Likewise, if nails and screws loosen, the boards give and detach over time.

If you have major deck repair needs, a professional handyman may need to dismantle some of the boards in your deck and replace them. For other areas, portions of the wood may need to be removed and the space filled with special wood repair agents.

Many homeowners struggle with both minor and major deck repair projects, either due to a lack of necessary time or the appropriate tools for the required work. When you need experts at deck repair, call on the craftsmen at Sears Handyman Services. Our teams of professional handymen can repair decks as well as build them.

If you have an older deck or one that was not originally stained properly, you may have more serious problems requiring additional repair services. Discoloration on your deck boards, for instance, is likely a sign of water damage or wood rot. Wood rot occurs when wood has been exposed to water for prolonged periods of time without having first been treated to prevent water damage. When you notice green spots on your wood or certain boards that give easily under pressure, your boards could crack or break if the problem is allowed to persist.

Sometimes wood deck boards shrink over time, causing small or large gaps between the boards on your deck. Usually, this requires that the new boards be exchanged for the old, warped boards.

Whether you need a few minor repairs or major deck renovations to solve problems like wood rot, a Sears handyman is on the job. Call today to discuss your deck repair project.
