Installation & Replacement
Whether you’re designing your dream deck from scratch, or you’re rebuilding a deck that’s seen a few too many days of sun, snow, and wear and tear, you can rely on American Home Maintenance for our carpentry services. We also install custom railing, stairs, and other features. We’ll work with you to understand your vision for your deck, and can help you to design your deck if you’re looking for a new installation or a remodel. Then, we’ll schedule a time to come to your property and get to work. We aim to build your deck quickly, without sacrificing attention to detail, so that you can enjoy a beautiful deck as soon as possible.



Repair
A deck with a bit of rotted wood can be an eyesore, or even a hazard. Count on American Home Maintenance to repair your deck and replace any wood that’s no longer up to snuff. We can assess and repair decks with any and all of the following problems:
- Water Damage: Mother Nature will eventually take its toll on any wooden deck. Over time, your deck may become discolored, it may splinter, it may warp, and it may rot. And all of these problems can be caused by exposure to moisture. Don’t fret. We can replace deck boards, supporting joists and beams, and posts.
- Gaps Between Boards: Excessive gaps are a common problem for wood decks, since the boards of the deck will shrink as they age and weather. If you have unsightly or unsafe deck gaps, we can remove and replace the planks of your deck. Often, the underlying deck structure can be reused, making re-decking quicker and more affordable.
- Structural Problems: If your deck isn’t structurally sound, it isn’t safe. Keep an eye out for rotted boards, a sloping deck, or instability in the deck. If you have problems with the beams, joists, or posts, they may require replacement or reinforcement to make your deck safe once again.
- Fire Damage: Fire damage can leave your deck in ruins, or minor damage may just affect a few boards. We can replace your whole deck, or perform minor repairs, as your project demands.
- Splintering: Splintering is a common sign that your deck is at the end of its life. If you have boards that are over five years old, they may begin to splinter, which can be hazardous as you walk across the surface. These boards should be replaced, or sanded and refinished.
- Faded Wood: Your deck’s wood color will naturally fade as it is exposed to sun and precipitation. In certain cases, we’ll recommend a fresh coat of stain. However, if your wood is several years old, it may be best to replace the boards.
- Railing Problems: Deck railing is intended to provide protection for those using the deck. As such, a compromised rail can be a danger. Count on us to fix leaning, rotted, and broken rails.
Staining
Did you know that you should stain your deck every two to three years to ensure that it is protected from weathering? Don’t let your deck deteriorate prematurely. You can count on American Home Maintenance for a professional staining that will protect your deck while making it look as if it were just installed. Keep an eye out for signs that your deck should be stained, including discoloration, splintering, and water absorption. Water should bead up on your deck, instead of getting trapped in the wood. If you think your deck is overdue for staining, just give us a call!
