At Rightway Home Improvement, we specialize in a wide range of home renovations services, including deck building and repair work. A deck is a valuable addition to any home, providing a space for outdoor entertaining and relaxation for the whole family. However, being an outdoor structure, and being exposed to all types of weather conditions, decks require maintenance and repairs to ensure they remain safe and functional. At Rightway, we pride ourselves in offering the premiere deck building and repair services across New York.
Benefits of the Right Deck to Your Home or Property
At Rightway, when it comes to building the right deck for your home, there are a number of different factors that go into the process. We strive to build decks that can provide your and your loved ones a quality outdoor space for entertaining guests, or relaxing after a long day’s work. With each project, we ensure the proper weatherproofing, to provide a space that can stand up to all types of weather conditions in NYC – from snow and rain, to wind and heavy sunlight. Some of our deck building and repair services include:
Deck Inspections
Regular inspection is crucial to keep your deck in good condition. We look for signs of wear and tear, such as rotting wood, loose nails, or cracked boards. If you catch these issues early, you can avoid more serious and costly repairs later on.
Surface Preparation
Before you start any repairs, or during a deck building project, it’s vital to make sure the surface is clean and dry. This will help the new materials adhere properly and prevent moisture from causing further damage. We use a pressure washer to remove any dirt and debris, and allow the surface to dry completely.
Replacing Damaged Boards
Over time, due to weather conditions and general use, deck board can become cracked, splintered, or experience rotting, and will need to be replaced.
Securing Loose Nails
Loose nails can cause tripping hazards and can cause further damage to the deck. At Rightway, we check to ensure your deck is built the properly to keep you and your loved ones safe for years to come.
Stain or Seal the Deck
With each deck building or repair project, staining and sealing is a vital step! Not only does the right staining and sealing provide aesthetic value and give you the look you desire, but it can also protect the wood from moisture and UV rays, preventing future damage. Choose a stain or sealant that is compatible with the type of wood used in your deck, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application.
Lattice or Skirting
Lattice or skirting can enhance the appearance of your deck and provide extra storage space. It also helps keep debris and animals from getting under the deck.
