Signs It Is Time To Call a Deck Contractor:
- Popped nails in your wood deck are more than just unattractive; they’re also dangerous. Not only can they allow floor boards to loosen, but they present a tripping hazard and can cause a serious cut on a bare foot if stepped on. Popped nails are the result of the constant expansion and contraction of the wood due to heat, cold, and moisture. Because they are likely to occur every few years, it is important to routinely check your deck for popped nails and to get them repaired as quickly as possible. Your contractor may also advice replacing popped nails with deck screws that are more secure and tend to last longer than nails.
- A loose railing on your deck is another very dangerous situation and a faulty repair could have serious consequences. Deck railings are notoriously difficult to properly install and repair. A professional contractor will ensure that your deck railing is secure and your guests are safe for a long time to come.
- A weak floor board is the most obvious and common problem. Since the floor of your deck takes the most abuse, it will be likely be the first part of the deck to show wear and tear. A weak floor board should be examined immediately by a professional and repaired before it becomes a serious safety hazard.
