DECK PROBLEMS WE FIX
If your deck is showing these signs, it's time to call us.
!
Rotted or Soft Boards
Boards that flex, splinter, or feel spongy underfoot — a clear sign of moisture damage that only spreads.
!
Wobbly Railings or Posts
Loose railings are a serious safety issue. We re-anchor, reinforce, or replace so your deck passes code.
!
Cracked or Splitting Wood
Years of St. Louis sun and humidity crack wood. We assess what can be saved and what needs replacing.
!
Rusted Hardware & Fasteners
Failing joist hangers, lag bolts, and nails compromise your whole deck — we swap them for code-compliant hardware.
DECK REPAIR SERVICES
Every kind of deck repair, from minor fixes to full restorations.
Board & Deck Surface Replacement
Full or partial deck board replacement in pressure-treated lumber, composite, or hardwood — matched to your existing deck when possible.
Railing Repair & Replacement
Loose, rotted, or non-code-compliant railings rebuilt to modern safety standards, including balusters, top rails, and newel posts.
Structural & Framing Repair
Joist, beam, and ledger board repair or replacement. We assess the underlying structure every time, not just what you can see.
Waterproofing & Sealing
Stripping, sanding, staining, and sealing to extend deck life and protect against St. Louis humidity and freeze-thaw cycles.
Fastener & Hardware Upgrades
Replacing corroded nails, screws, joist hangers, and lag bolts with coated hardware that's rated for exterior use and long-term durability.
Stairs & Step Repair
Rebuilding rotted stringers, replacing split treads, and adding railings or handrails where needed to bring steps up to code.

From inspection to a rebuilt deck in four clear steps.
1

You get an itemized estimate — repair vs. replace recommendations, materials, and timeline, all in writing.
3
Repair & Reinforcement
Our crew does the work on schedule with daily cleanup. We keep you informed at every stage.
4
Final Walkthrough
We walk the finished deck together, address any last items, and back it with a one-year workmanship warranty.
REPAIR OR REBUILD?
Not sure whether to repair or replace your deck?
Here's how we help St. Louis homeowners decide. In most cases, a targeted repair saves significant cost over a full rebuild.
REPAIR MAKES SENSE WHEN
Your deck needs targeted fixes.
Structure (joists, posts, ledger) is mostly sound
Fewer than about 30% of boards are damaged
Railings are wobbly but posts are anchored well
The deck is under 15 years old with quality materials
You want to extend its life another 8 to 12 years
REBUILD MAKES SENSE WHEN
A full rebuild is the smarter investment.
Multiple structural members (joists, ledger) are rotted
Most of the surface boards need replacement
The deck doesn't meet current code requirements
You want a different layout, size, or material
Repair cost exceeds about 60% of a full rebuild
CLIENT REVIEWS
St. Louis homeowners trust our deck work.
★★★★★
Our deck had rotted boards and a scary-wobbly railing. R Link came out the same week, gave us a fair estimate, and rebuilt it in under two weeks. It looks and feels like new.

★★★★★
I was ready to tear the whole thing down, but Ryan inspected it and showed me we really only needed structural repairs and a resurface. Saved us thousands over a full rebuild.
Angela D.
Kirkwood, MO
★★★★★
Replaced all our stair stringers and added a new handrail to bring it up to code before we sold the house. Professional, fast, and the inspection passed with zero issues.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Deck repair questions, answered.
How much does deck repair cost in St. Louis?
+
Cost depends on scope. Small repairs like replacing a few boards or tightening railings often run in the low hundreds, while structural repairs or full resurfacing can range into the low thousands. We give every client a detailed written estimate up front.
How do I know if my deck is safe?
+
Warning signs include soft or spongy boards, wobbly railings, cracked posts, rust around fasteners, and any visible rot where the deck attaches to the house. If you're unsure, schedule a free inspection — we'll give you an honest assessment.
Do you pull permits for deck repairs?
+
Cosmetic repairs typically don't require permits, but structural work, railings that affect code compliance, or anything involving the ledger board usually does. We handle all required permits through your St. Louis municipality.
How long will a repaired deck last?
+
A properly executed repair with quality materials and hardware typically adds 8 to 12 years of life to an existing deck, sometimes longer with regular maintenance like staining and sealing every few years.
Do you offer emergency deck repair?
+
Yes. For safety-critical issues like a collapsed step, detached railing, or failing ledger board, we prioritize same-week inspections and can often start emergency repairs within a few days.
What areas of St. Louis do you cover?
+
We serve the full greater St. Louis region, including Kirkwood, Webster Groves, Clayton, University City, Sunset Hills, Oakville, Chesterfield, Ballwin, Creve Coeur, Ladue, and all surrounding communities.
