Decks & Porches — Build + Repair + Resurface

New decks, porch rebuilds, resurfacing, railings, stairs, and rot repairs — built for safety, drainage, and clean finish work.

Most failures come from water + weak connections: trapped moisture, undersized/loose fasteners, or aging framing. We check structure, footings, ledger attachment, and drainage, then build or repair so it looks great and feels solid.

Deck & Porch Services with wiBuilder

We provide new builds, rebuilds, resurfacing, and repairs. Our focus: structure and safety first, then clean finishes.

Build + Rebuild

New decks, porch rebuilds, extensions, and code-minded safety upgrades (as scoped).

Build scope
Layout + Framing Solid framing, proper spacing, clean lines.
Footings + Posts Stable support and long-term load performance.
Ledger + Tie-Ins Connection details checked and reinforced as needed.
Safety First Rails, stairs, and footing stability upgrades.
Material Options Pressure-treated, redwood, or composite systems.
Drainage Details Air gaps + water control to reduce rot risk.
Lighting Add-Ons Step lights, low-voltage, and pathway accents.
Finish Carpentry Picture framing, fascia, skirting, trim.

What a “complete build” typically includes

  • Measure + layout + scope confirmation
  • Framing plan: posts, beams, joists, and connection points
  • Decking install (wood or composite)
  • Railing and stair plan (if needed)
  • Clean trim/fascia detailing (as scoped)
  • Cleanup + safety walk-through

Popular upgrades (optional)

  • Resurface with composite + hidden fasteners
  • Railing upgrade (cable, metal, or modern wood design)
  • Skirting + under-deck storage access
  • Low-voltage step and perimeter lighting

Note: Permits/engineering can apply depending on height, attachment, and local requirements.

Repairs + Resurfacing

Soft boards, wobbling rails, sagging areas, stair fixes, and finish restoration — repaired at the source.

Repair scope
Rot / Soft Spots Replace boards + assess framing damage.
Wobble / Sag Tighten structure and correct weak members.
Railing Repair Secure posts, rails, and balusters.
Stairs + Landing Treads/risers stringers, safe handrails.
Resurfacing New deck boards while keeping framing (if sound).
Water Traps Correct drainage and reduce recurring rot.
Stain / Seal Prep + refinish for longer service life.
Lighting Repairs Fix/replace step lights and wiring (as scoped).

Typical repair process

  1. Inspect structure, connections, and rot risk areas
  2. Open only what’s needed to access the failure point
  3. Correct framing/connection issues first
  4. Replace boards/rails/stairs as needed
  5. Finish touch-ups + cleanup

Repair notes

  • Wobble often points to loose posts, weak connections, or undersized members.
  • Soft boards can hide framing rot—expect a quick structural check.
  • Resurfacing is great when framing is sound and properly spaced.

Common Deck & Porch Questions

Fast answers — we’ll confirm details during inspection.

If framing is solid, resurfacing (new boards) can be the best value. If there’s widespread rot, wobble, or poor connections, rebuild is usually safer and longer-lasting. For isolated issues, repairs can be enough.

Common causes include loose posts/rails, undersized members, weak connections at the ledger, or aging footings. We identify the source and reinforce the structure first.

Composite is popular for low maintenance and consistent appearance. Wood can look great too, but typically needs periodic sealing/staining for best life.

Often yes. We can reinforce posts, replace failing sections, and correct unsafe treads/handrails. If rot has spread into framing, scope may expand after inspection.
