Professional Deck Repair, Resurfacing & Safety Upgrades
Is your deck showing signs of age?
Don't wait for a structural failure to address the problem. At Upper Valley Construction, we help homeowners save money by identifying what can be saved and what needs to be replaced. Whether it’s a few rotting boards or a wobbly railing, our repair services ensure your deck is safe for your family and guests.
Our Deck Restoration Services
Deck Resurfacing (Re-decking): If your frame is structurally sound but the surface boards are ugly or rotting, we can "resurface" the deck. We pull up the old wood and install new cedar or composite boards on the existing frame.
Structural Reinforcement: We replace rotted ledger boards (where the deck meets the house), sagging joists, and unstable posts.
Safety Inspections: We check for rusted fasteners, loose railings, and wood rot that might not be visible to the naked eye.
Stair & Railing Upgrades: Give your old deck a modern look by replacing old wood pickets with cable railings or black aluminum balusters.
Why Repair Now?
Small spots of rot spread quickly in the Oregon dampness. Addressing a repair today can prevent the need for a total (and expensive) deck replacement two years from now. With 24 years in the trade, we can quickly diagnose issues and provide a clear, honest plan for repair.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change from wood to composite during a repair?
Yes! This is very common. As long as your joists are spaced correctly (usually 12" or 16" on center), we can install composite over an existing wood frame.
How do I know if my deck is rotting?
Look for "soft" spots in the wood, mushrooms growing from the joists, or a "spongy" feeling when you walk. If you see these, call us for an inspection.
Is it worth repairing an old deck?
If the frame is over 15–20 years old, a full replacement is usually better. If the frame is younger and in good shape, resurfacing is a great way to save 40–50% over a new build.
