Most Deck Repairs Fail Because Nobody Asks the Right Questions

A lot of contractors will fix what’s visible, like cracked boards, wobbly railings, loose screws, and call it a day. But the real damage is often underneath. Rotten framing. Unsafe stairs. Bad connections. If nobody’s checking what’s behind the surface… the problem’s just waiting to come back.

You don’t want a Band-Aid. You want a repair that makes your deck feel safe again, so you can stop worrying and start using it.

At Conable Builders, we repair decks the way we’d fix our own. We inspect everything, explain what we find, and only recommend repairs that actually make sense. If it’s not worth fixing, we’ll say so. If it is, we’ll make sure it’s built to last.

Some of the common repairs we handle:

Why Most Deck Repairs Don’t Last (And What We Do Differently)

Quick fixes. No inspections. Zero accountability. Sadly, that’s still how a lot of contractors operate. But when it comes to safety, shortcuts aren’t just lazy; they’re dangerous.

Deck Repair FAQs

How do I know if my deck is worth repairing or if it needs to be rebuilt?

That’s one of the first things I help you figure out.

If the structure underneath is solid, we can usually repair the surface, swap boards, fix railings, clean things up.

But if the framing is rotten, the footings are failing, or the whole thing wasn’t built to code… a full rebuild might make more sense long-term.

Either way, I’ll explain what’s going on and why I’m recommending a repair or a replacement, so you’re never guessing.

What parts of a deck tend to fail first?

Usually it’s the stuff people don’t see.

Stairs that weren’t framed properly. Posts that aren’t connected correctly. Old hardware that’s rusted or pulling loose.

Boards will show wear, but most of the serious issues start below the surface.

That’s why I always do a full walkthrough before I give you a quote. I want to know exactly what we’re working with.

How much does deck repair usually cost?

Repairs can range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand, depending on what’s going on.

Replacing a handful of boards? Not bad. Rebuilding a staircase and bringing everything up to code? That’s a bigger scope.

I’ll always give you a clear quote, explain the breakdown, and let you decide what makes sense for your budget.

Can you fix a deck that another contractor messed up?

I’ve done it more times than I can count.

It’s frustrating, you trusted someone, and now the job still isn’t right.

If you’re in that spot, I’ll come out, take a look, and tell you what went wrong, what needs to be fixed, and what it’ll take to get it done properly.

Do you check the structure or just fix the surface boards?

We always check the structure.

Boards are easy to replace. But if the framing underneath is soft, split, or not properly fastened, it’s only a matter of time before something goes wrong.

I’ve seen too many “repairs” that looked good on top and were unsafe underneath. That’s not how I do things.

Will you bring my deck up to code?

If it’s not already, yes, absolutely.

Even if it’s “grandfathered in,” I always recommend bringing repairs up to current safety standards. That includes the right post connections, stair rise/run, railing height, and hardware.

I’ve trained other contractors on proper deck framing, so I’m a bit of a stickler for doing it right, but only because it keeps your family safe.

Do you take care of permits if they’re needed?

Yes, and I’ll tell you upfront if your repair project even needs one.

Some cities don’t require a permit for minor repairs. Others do, especially if we’re touching the framing, stairs, or structure.

I’ve dealt with permitting in places like Denver, Boulder, and Arvada, so I know how to navigate it and keep the process moving.

What kind of materials do you use for repairs?

It depends on what’s needed.

If we’re replacing framing, I use pressure-treated lumber and modern hardware that meets current code.

For decking, I’ll match what you already have, or help you upgrade to something lower maintenance like composite.

Either way, I’ll explain the options and why one might make more sense than the other based on your goals.
