Schedule Deck Repair in Grand Prairie, TX

Where do you go when you want to be indoors and outdoors at the same time? For most residents in Grand Prairie, there’s nothing like stepping out onto the deck for a morning coffee – or an evening barbecue with friends and family.

We can all appreciate a good deck and its view, but what’s going on underfoot? Spongy boards and squeaking steps are just a couple of warning signs to recognize. A timely deck repair can end up saving you from an awful accident.

Plus, a reliable and affordable deck repair in Grand Prairie is just a call away thanks to Mr. Handyman. Call or message us today to speak with a live representative, schedule an appointment, or request urgent assistance.

Feel the Wood Under Your Feet

You might feel it even with slippers or sandals on, but a soft spot can best be identified barefoot. Walk on your deck barefoot and feel for spongy spots. These areas might be weakened by moisture or rot, especially after sealants wear off or drainage issues linger.

Fortunately, isolated cases can be resolved by replacing affected boards. They’ll also have to be reinforced to be safe. For decks with widespread rotting, a deck replacement is typically safer and more cost-effective.

What About Creaking or Loose Boards

These warning signs you should notice whether you have shoes on or not. If the stairs are creaking or moving as you step on the boards, then proceed with caution! Loose or improperly-fastened boards can give out without a heads up.

There’s not much we can do about temperatures fluctuating and causing wood to contract and expand. The homeowner’s role is to apply protectors and sealants, and keep up with maintenance – like tightening fasteners regularly. For severe warping, call a handyman to have affected boards replaced.

Railing Should be Firm

Having a solid foundation is the most important, but stable railing is crucial! Loose or wobbly rails pose a risk to children, elderly, and even pets. Chances are you can restore stability with some tightening.

Reinforcing or replacing posts and brackets offers a more robust solution, however. And if the damage is widespread and compromises the rails, you can upgrade to sturdy new materials with a modern design.

Watch Out for Rusty Screws, Nails, and Hardware

Iron naturally rusts over time as it is exposed to water and even the moisture in the air. As these metal screws, nails, and hardware corrode, they become weaker and less able to hold the deck together. Protecting these with sealants helps, but what if the damage is done?

It’s important that you replace rusty screws and nails as soon as possible. Not only do these compromise structural integrity, but they also pose a safety hazard if exposed. Corrosion-resistant fasteners can work wonders in the long-run.

Nobody Likes Faded, Splintered, or Warped Boards

Sun, rain, and temperature fluctuations wear down your deck’s surface, but that’s no reason to keep them that way! Sanding and sealing, or straight replacing the boards can transform how you feel on your deck.

Plus, splintered and warped boards are dangerous. Don’t wait until you’ve got an inch of a splinter in your heel. Call or message Mr. Handyman to handle repairs as soon as possible.

When a New Deck Makes Sense

While many issues can be resolved with targeted repairs, and while we’re confident we can repair almost anything, some decks are better off chopped and replaced.

If there’s extensive rot in joists and beams, expansive regions of damaged boards, and/or an outdated design that sticks out like a sore thumb, then it’s time to call Mr. Handyman to talk about your deck replacement in Grand Prairie, TX.
