Overview
What you get with a Zbolt repair build
Most deck problems we see come from the same handful of issues: missing or rotting ledger flashing, undersized footings, the wrong fasteners, and ten years of freeze-thaw doing what freeze-thaw does. We diagnose what's actually wrong, tell you whether repair makes more sense than rebuild, and quote both honestly.
If your framing is sound but your boards are tired, a resurface gets you a brand-new deck on the existing skeleton for roughly half the cost of a full rebuild. If your framing is shot or your ledger isn't flashed, we'll tell you — and we won't put fresh boards over a structure that's failing.
Common repairs we handle: rotted ledger boards, sagging joists, popped fasteners, missing joist tape, failed deck stairs, loose rails (a huge safety issue we see weekly), missing flashing between deck and house exterior, and footings that didn't go deep enough to clear the frost line.
The Upside
Why people choose this
- Honest diagnosis — we'll tell you when repair makes more sense than rebuild
- Resurface decks can save 40–50% vs. a full rebuild
- We fix code issues (rails, fasteners, flashing) so it passes inspection
- Same-week response for safety issues like loose rails or wobbly stairs
Trade-offs
What to know going in
- Repairs sometimes uncover hidden rot once we open things up — we'll show you photos and re-quote before continuing
- A 15-year-old deck with PT framing is often a better candidate for rebuild than another patch job

FAQ
Repair questions, answered
Can you just replace the boards and keep my old frame?
If the frame is sound, yes — that's a resurface and it's a great option. We'll inspect the framing first and show you what's underneath before quoting.
My deck wobbles. Is it dangerous?
Probably, yes. Wobbling usually means the ledger pulled away from the house or the posts aren't braced. Call us — most wobbles can be diagnosed in 15 minutes on-site.
Do you fix decks you didn't build?
All the time. Most of our repair work is on decks built by someone else 10–20 years ago.
