When to Repair Your Deck
Localized damage
Localized damage or wear
Deck repair is often the right solution when issues are limited to specific areas. Loose railings, damaged boards, or worn stair treads can usually be repaired without rebuilding the entire structure.
Early signs of rot or moisture damage
Addressing minor rot early can extend the life of your deck. As a deck builder in Greater Boston, we frequently see moisture damage around ledger boards and stairs, which can often be corrected with proper carpentry repairs.
When Deck Replacement Makes More Sense
Widespread structural issues
If the deck framing, supports, or ledger connection are compromised, replacement is usually the safer long-term option. Structural problems can affect safety and lead to higher repair costs if ignored.
Outdated layout or functionality
Many homeowners choose to replace a deck to improve size, layout, or access. A new deck can better match how you use your outdoor space while improving overall curb appeal.
Our Approach to Deck Building
We focus on doing it right the first time. That means starting with a clear plan, addressing any underlying issues we find, and keeping communication simple from estimate through completion. Our carpentry experience matters here because decks often connect to areas of the home where rot and water damage can hide, and those problems need to be handled correctly before finishing work begins.
Deck Building Projects and Carpentry Services
Decks often reveal other exterior needs, such as rot repair near doors, trim and fascia issues, siding repairs, or structural updates around entry points. If you want a deck that looks finished and performs well long term, it helps to have one team that can handle the related exterior carpentry work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you build new decks, or only repair existing ones?
We do both. Big Dog Painting provides deck building services that include building, repairing, and replacing decks based on your home, your goals, and the condition of the existing structure.
Can you fix wood rot or structural issues discovered during a deck project?
Yes. Rot repair and exterior structural fixes are a common part of deck work, and our carpentry team is equipped to handle those repairs so the deck is built on a solid foundation.
How do you decide whether a deck should be repaired or replaced?
It depends on the condition of the framing, ledger connection, and overall structure. If the problems are isolated, repair can be effective. If rot or structural deterioration is widespread, replacement is often the safer long-term solution.
How long does a typical deck project take?
Timelines vary based on scope, materials, and what we find once work begins. After we review your project, we will provide a clear timeline so you know what to expect from start to finish.
Do you offer carpentry work beyond decks?
Yes. Our carpentry services include a wide range of exterior repairs and upgrades that homeowners often need before, during, or after a deck project.
