DECKING
Docs Do Decks
A deck is a one of those things you don't think you need until you have one. By adding one to your home you not only increase property value, but you get a fantastically usable space added to your home! Whether you choose to add a jacuzzi to it, a grille, or a nice outdoor table with seating, a deck addition is a fantastic way to make most of the sunny days and entertain your guests like no other.

Benefits of a Deck Addition
An area to hang out in the summer month is not the only benefit of adding a deck. Here are a few other benefits of a deck addition that you may not yet be aware of.
When Is It Time To
Repair Or Replace
Once built a deck will stay outside in the elements for the rest of its life. This means that the wear and tear they are exposed to, is year round and at times, very harsh. From scorching, 100 degree summer days, to weeks of rain and freezing winter months.
Over years of use, these conditions take a toll on your deck no matter how well it's built. This means that no matter how hard you try not to, you'll likely still need to do maintenance in the form of replacing broken floorboards, repairing damaged railings, removing rusted nails, retightening screws, and more.
However when should you call in a professional to do the repair? Well, if you begin seeing some of the signs below, in your own deck, it's time to give us a call and have us do an inspection of the entire deck to ensure its safety and reliability.
