Frequently Asked Questions
Most of our deck repair projects start at $5,000 and include some structural repairs, like replacing a few joists, posts, or floorboards. Other repairs can be as expensive as $15,000 and include replacing the decking surface and railing.
Most repairs take anywhere from a day to a few days, depending on what needs to be done. Replacing a few boards is quick. Rebuilding stairs or framing takes longer. Either way, you’ll get a clear timeline up front so you know exactly what to expect.
We’ll get as close as possible. For wood decks, that means matching species, width, and grain. For older composites, exact matches can be tricky, but we’ll show you options that blend well. If the materials are too far gone or no longer made, we’ll help you decide if a partial upgrade or full resurfacing makes more sense.
Generally, a few cracked floorboards, popped nails, or sunken posts can be replaced to make sure the deck is safe. More serious problems like rot, decay, or ledger board connection issues require a full repair. In that case, a replacement is usually advised.
In many cases, yes. If you’re already investing in repairs, it’s a good time to upgrade to composite decking, aluminum railings, or joist protection tape, things that extend your deck’s lifespan and reduce maintenance down the road. We’ll walk you through what’s worth it and what’s not based on your goals.
Small issues don’t stay small. A loose board can turn into a tripping hazard. A soft spot might be hiding rot. If left alone, minor repairs can snowball into full rebuilds and cost a lot more. Catching problems early gives you more options, more control, and usually a much lower bill.

Hard Decks did a beautiful job replacing our deck as well as helping to replace the sliding doors. They were prompt, professional, courteous, and in general a great pleasure to work with. Left a very clean job site at the end of each day and when the work was complete.
