This Is How Your Old Deck Can Look

Homeowners Like You Also Asked:

Is it worth repairing my deck?

If the structural integrity of your deck is still intact but it’s beginning to show signs of wear and tear, you may be able to repair it for a fraction of what it would cost to rebuild.

However, if your deck is compromised in any way, rebuilding is recommended as this poses a safety hazard. If you’re unsure how much work needs to be done, consider contacting a professional contractor. At Lake City Decks, we can inspect the condition of your deck and provide an estimate for repair costs. We can also let you know if the deck is safe to use and give advice on maintaining its health over time.

What does deck repair include?

A deck repair project starts with assessing the existing condition of the deck, making necessary repairs such as replacing rotten boards or cracked joists, and replacing any other damaged materials.

Depending on the extent of damage, the project may also involve sanding and refinishing certain areas. In addition, it’s common to add extra features such as benches, planters, railings etc. to enhance the look and functionality of your deck.

Finally, if desired, a specialized coating or water sealer may be applied to provide further protection against weathering and corrosion.

Do you offer a warranty for the repairs?

All our deck repairs come with a 5-year workmanship warranty, and you also benefit from up-to-lifetime warranty on most composite decking materials.

How much do deck repairs cost?

The cost for repairing or upgrading an existing deck varies depending on the the state of your current deck, as well as any extra materials and features desired.

Generally, the most expensive part of upgrading your deck is purchasing additional materials such as wood or composite. Other upgrades that often drive up the total cost include: adding stairs, railings, benches, privacy screens, and more. Adding any labor-intensive components such as electrical wiring and lighting may also increase repair costs.

Finally, painting or staining may be necessary to finish off the project, which would incur a separate fee depending on size and complexity.

A rough guideline would be around $5k for replacing damaged stairs, and up to $15k for replacing the decking boards and addressing structural issues. When working with Lake City Decks, you’ll receive a comprehensive estimate based on the inspection and in-home consultation.

How fast can you repair my deck?

The timeline for a deck repair in Wisconsin varies depending on multiple factors, such as the elevation of your deck, the extend of damage, and any issues we discover upon inspection. If you also want to upgrade your deck with new features, such as replacing the railing or adding in-deck lighting, the timeline will increase.

Once we inspect your deck and discuss your needs and wants, we’ll be able to offer an accurate time estimate.

Do I need a permit to repair my deck?

Yes, you will need a permit to repair your deck in Wisconsin state. To spare you the trouble and paperwork, we’ll take care of the permitting process on your behalf.

 5/5

We built with Ben about two years ago and couldn’t be happier. Ben managed to stay on budget and on time even with all of our changes, accommodating any request we had and actually applying ideas or pictures we had seen.

With being our first time building, Ben and his staff answered our questions and reassured us taking the stress out of the building process.

The end result is our beautiful home that we continually get compliments for and couldn’t be happier with.

We worked with Ben and his team to build our first-ever home and they hit it out of the park! We were apprehensive about the entire building process but Ben made it easy. He walked us through everything, step-by-step.

Ben and team kept us up-to-date on progress and worked with us when we found a “big idea” on Pinterest, by making it happen realistically and in budget. I think working with a team who is open, honest and has great communication is key and that’s exactly what you’ll get when you work with Ben!
