St. Augustine's Reliable Deck Repair Company

Most deck issues do not require full replacement. Maritime Docks and Decks Inc. handles deck repair across Florida for homeowners, restaurants, hotels, and waterfront properties dealing with everything from a single rotten board to widespread structural problems. The work starts with an inspection that separates what needs to come out from what can stay, and the repair plan follows from there.

Our Services

Deck Inspection

A proper deck repair starts with knowing exactly what is wrong. Boards, joists, beams, posts, footings, and fasteners all get checked for rot, corrosion, movement, and code issues before any work gets planned.

Board Replacement

Individual damaged boards can usually be swapped without disturbing the surrounding deck. Color matching on composite and PVC depends on the age of the original boards, and weathered wood may require sanding or staining to blend.

Structural Repair

Joist damage, beam issues, post settling, and ledger problems all fall under structural deck repair. Sister joists, reinforced connections, replaced beams, and new footings address the issues without tearing the whole deck down.

Deck Resurfacing

When the framing is sound but the surface has aged out, resurfacing replaces the top boards while reusing the existing structure. This option is common when owners want to upgrade from wood to composite without rebuilding the entire deck.

Fastener and Hardware Replacement

Corroded screws, failed joist hangers, and pulled-out lag bolts are common on older decks. Hardware replacement uses materials matched to the framing and the corrosion conditions at the site.

Deck Additions and Remodeling

Some repair projects expand into additions or remodels once the existing structure gets opened up. Adding stairs, expanding the footprint, or modifying access points all become easier during a planned repair.

Types of Decks We Repair

Platform Deck

Low-profile platform decks tend to develop moisture damage at the board-framing connection. Repairs address ventilation and drainage alongside the visible work.

Raised Deck

Raised decks expose framing to view, so cosmetic and structural repair often happen together. Fascia and visible hardware factor into the work.

Multi-Level Deck

Stair stringers, intermediate landings, and railing transitions often need attention alongside the main surface. Each level gets evaluated separately.

Freestanding Deck

Freestanding decks shift as soil settles, throwing off level and stressing connections. Repairs often include resetting or adding footings.

Rooftop Deck

Rooftop decks share connections with the underlying roof structure. Repair work here often touches both layers.

Pool and Spa Deck

Constant moisture exposure accelerates wear, especially at coping and framing connections. Repairs address both the surface and the moisture management below.

Curved Deck

Curved sections use shorter joists and specialized fastening. Matching the original radius matters for visual consistency during board replacement.

Cantilevered Deck

Cantilevered edges put extra stress on the joists past their supports. Repairs verify that the span still meets current code.

Screened or Covered Deck

Repairs under a cover often surface issues with the cover itself. The work can expand depending on what the inspection finds.

Still have questions?

What types of deck repair services do you offer?

Deck repair services cover individual board replacement, structural framing repair, deck resurfacing, fastener and hardware replacement, railing repair, and lighting repair. Repair projects can also expand into additions or remodels when the existing deck supports it. Each repair is sized to address the actual issue rather than defaulting to full replacement when targeted work would do the job.

Can you repair structural damage to existing decks?

Yes, structural deck repair is part of the core service. Damaged joists can be sistered or replaced, failed beams can be reinforced or swapped, and settled footings can be reset or supplemented with new helical piers, diamond piers, or concrete footings. The repair brings the affected section up to current Florida building code.

Do you also repair deck railings and lighting?

Yes, both fall within the regular outdoor deck repair service. Railing repair covers loose posts, broken balusters, damaged top rails, and gate hardware, along with bringing existing railings up to current height and spacing code. Lighting repair handles failed fixtures, damaged wiring, and restoration of automation systems where applicable.

How do you maintain deck safety during repairs?

Active repair zones get cordoned off to prevent foot traffic on compromised sections. Temporary supports are installed where structural work requires it, and the deck is not opened back up for use until the repaired sections pass inspection. For partial repairs on actively used decks, the work is staged so that at least part of the deck remains accessible.
