Springtime Deck Repair

A deck is a great place to socialize, barbeque, and enjoy the company of family and friends, or sometimes just relax and sunbathe or read a book. The deck pulls you outside of your home to enjoy the fresh air and the surrounding natural environment.

Springtime deck repair is essential to keeping your backyard looking great. With spring in the air and summer around the corner, the prospect of enjoying your deck becomes more alluring. As an adventurous extension of your home, maintaining the integrity of your deck is a top priority for most homeowners.

Your deck provides a place to enjoy such a broad range of leisurely and relaxing activities, so you want to make sure it is also a safe and reliable structure. Aging or untreated decks are subject to excessive wear and tear or breaking down extensively, and should be maintained and preserved just as regularly as the main portions of your home. So, if you need a deck repair contact us before our Springtime schedule fills up!

In the rainy Northwest, decks tend to break down more quickly than in less precipitous environments due to their ongoing battle with long wet, rainy seasons and blisteringly hot sunny summers. As such, dry rot is a common problem with decks—but one that can be identified and treated very effectively if it is caught in time.

Dry rot is caused by a fungus that feeds on moist wood. Over time the fungus eats away at the strength and durability of the wood and deteriorates its strength, causing your deck to be unsafe. A deck that has been invaded by dry rot is a dangerous structure that can fail at any moment.

SFW Construction has many years of experience in repairing decks that have been invaded by dry rot. As dry rot professionals, we know how to target the affected wood and remove the fungus, down to the tiniest spore, to make sure it is completed extracted from your deck.
