Deck repair and restoration
Oregon rain is hard on decks. Moisture works into board ends, fasteners and the spot where the deck meets the house, and small problems spread quietly until a board gives underfoot or a railing moves when you lean on it. The good news: caught early, most of these issues are a repair, not a rebuild.
Reno Masters LLC is a local crew that repairs decks the same way we build them, with proper materials, proper flashing and proper fasteners. We start with a straight assessment. If a repair will do the job, that is exactly what we will recommend.
Common repairs
From a single soft board to a full structural fix, these are the repairs we take care of most often for local homeowners.
We remove soft, split or cupped decking and fit new boards that match your existing deck as closely as possible.
Loose posts, wobbly handrails and spongy stair treads fixed so your deck is safe to lean on and climb again.
Sagging joists, failing beams and rotted posts sistered or replaced so the bones of your deck are sound.
The connection between deck and house is where Oregon rain does its worst damage. We repair it and flash it right.
If your frame is solid but the surface is shot, we replace every board and railing with new wood or composite.
Tired but sound decks cleaned up, refastened and refinished so they look good and last longer.
Repair or replace?
The question we hear most often: is this deck worth fixing? The answer usually comes down to the framing. If the joists, beams, posts and ledger are sound, replacing boards or resurfacing the whole deck is money well spent, and resurfacing with composite or Trex decking can give an old frame a low maintenance second life.
If rot has reached the structure, footings are heaving or the ledger connection is failing, patching it can be throwing good money after bad, and a rebuild is often the cheaper path over ten years. We will probe the framing, tell you plainly which side of the line your deck is on and quote both options if it is a close call.

Questions
It depends entirely on scope. Swapping a handful of boards is a small job, while framing or ledger repairs cost more because they involve the structure. Rather than guess, we come out, inspect the deck and give you a clear written number for free. There is no charge and no obligation for the estimate.
Yes. Replacing individual rotten or damaged boards is one of our most common repairs. Keep in mind new boards will look brighter than weathered ones at first; on wood decks the color evens out over a season, and we can also refinish the whole surface so everything matches right away.
Treat it seriously. A railing that moves when you push on it may not hold if someone falls against it, and that risk is worse on elevated decks. Loose railings are usually a fast, affordable fix, so it is worth a call before summer gatherings put them to the test.
The framing decides it. Sound structure means repair or resurfacing makes sense. Rot in the joists, beams or ledger usually means replacement is the smarter long-term spend. We inspect for free, tell you honestly which situation you have and quote both paths when it is close.
Often, yes. If the frame is solid we can strip the old boards and railings and install composite or Trex decking on the existing structure. We first verify the joist spacing and condition meet the composite manufacturer's requirements, then tighten up the frame before the new surface goes down.
