How to Know if You Need a Deck Repair or Deck Replacement
As the days get warmer and longer, we often spend more time outside on our decks with friends and family. Having a beautiful deck helps to improve the atmosphere as you enjoy nature and company. Your deck is an extension of your home and you want it to reflect the comfort that you have inside of your home. Over time, you will need to make minor deck repairs, but how do you know when you need a deck replacement over a deck repair?
Tell Tale Signs of Deck Replacement
There are a few things that you should never overlook when it comes to your deck repairs. If you find yourself faced with any of the following issues, then you will know that it is time for a deck replacement. When investigating if your deck needs to be replaced, you will want to start at the bottom, make sure that the footings, framing, and posts are all secure and maintaining the structural integrity of your deck system. When looking at the footing, you will want to see if any of them are warped. The footings can often be replaced by digging a deeper spot next to the exiting footing, allowing you to avoid replacing the entire deck. If a screwdriver is able to pierce through any part of the deck system, such as the framing or the posts, then there are issues with rotting and your structural integrity is severely compromised. Ensuring that your frame is in good shape, will determine if you need deck repairs or deck replacement.
