Every deck repair project includes the work below, delivered by our in-house Portland crew. No subcontractors. No surprise add-ons. Every job covered by our 10-year workmanship warranty.
Portland's 36-inch (91 cm) annual rainfall produces wood rot in 8-12 years on untreated decks. Our deck repair contractor Portland crew replaces rotted boards, joists, and posts with pressure-treated lumber and PNW-grade Western Red Cedar.
Wobbly railings cause 2,000+ ER visits each year. We tighten, reinforce, or replace with code-compliant 36-inch residential and 42-inch elevated railings. Cable Railing and Glass Balustrades available as upgrades.
When the bones fail, the deck fails. We sister joists with Simpson Strong-Tie connectors, reset ledger boards with proper flashing, and add joist tape on every framing piece for moisture protection.
Stair failures cause more deck injuries than any other component. We rebuild stringers, treads, and risers with stainless fasteners to fix damaged deck Portland stairs that wobble, sag, or split.
When framing is sound but the surface is shot, resurfacing saves 40-60% versus full replacement. We strip old decking and install new boards on existing joists in 2-4 days.
PNW moisture barrier techniques protect repair work for 5-7 years. We strip, sand to 80-grit, apply marine-grade stain, and seal with low-VOC finish.

📞 Call (503) 782-9723Portland decks face conditions most contractors don't understand. Our 36+ inches of annual rainfall combined with evergreen shade creates the perfect environment for wood rot. Add freeze-thaw cycles, constant humidity rolling off the Willamette, and moss-friendly surfaces, and you have a deck that's aging faster than almost anywhere else in the country.
We've worked decks in every Portland microclimate, from shaded north-facing lots in Sellwood-Moreland and Grant Park, to river-exposed waterfront homes in Alameda and Cathedral Park, to hillside elevated decks in Southwest Hills and Hawthorne. Each has unique failure patterns. We know them.
That's why every deck repair project we deliver uses stainless or coated fasteners (not basic galvanized), proper joist flashing, and pressure-treated framing rated for ground contact, even where code doesn't require it.
