Deck repair in Gatineau

Is this the right service for you?

Repair fits when the problem is local: a few split boards, a railing with play in it, a step that flexes, an anchor that has pulled away from the house.

If the defects repeat across the whole deck, a full renovation often costs less than stacking up one-off repairs.

What we repair

• Split, warped or rotted decking boards
• Loose railings, loose posts, missing sections
• Stair treads and stringers
• Damaged, accessible joists and beams
• Fasteners and ledger anchoring at the house wall

How we proceed

We first assess how far the problem actually goes, because a soft board on the surface sometimes signals a compromised joist underneath. We tell you what we find before starting the work.

We then replace the affected pieces, matching the existing material as closely as we can. On an older deck, a difference in tone is normal: new wood takes time to blend in, and we say so up front rather than afterwards.

What moves the price

• Number of pieces to replace
• Access under the deck (a low deck makes the work harder)
• Availability of material comparable to the existing one
• Structural damage discovered along the way

Repair or replace?

As a rule: an isolated problem on a sound structure gets repaired; widespread problems, or a structure whose footings have shifted, justify a rebuild. We give you our opinion after seeing the deck, with both options priced when that is useful.
