Protecting Decks in Central Illinois

Champaign-Urbana decks face some of the toughest conditions in the country. Our hot, humid summers accelerate wood decay and promote mold growth, while harsh winters with snow, ice, and freezing temperatures cause boards to crack and split. Without proper maintenance, a deck can deteriorate quickly.

Regular staining and sealing is essential for protecting your investment. We recommend re-staining every 2-3 years depending on sun exposure and wear. Our technicians will assess your deck's condition and recommend the right products—from semi-transparent stains that show wood grain to solid stains that provide maximum UV protection.

Many older decks in Champaign neighborhoods like Orchard Downs and Country Fair were built with pressure-treated pine that's now showing its age. We can replace damaged sections with matching lumber or upgrade to more durable options like composite decking for high-traffic areas.

Signs Your Deck Needs Repair

Catching deck problems early prevents small issues from becoming major structural concerns. Here's what to look for when inspecting your Champaign-Urbana deck.

Soft or Spongy Boards

Press on deck boards with a screwdriver. If wood feels soft or spongy, rot has set in. This is common where water pools or where boards meet posts. Rotted boards need replacement before the damage spreads to structural elements. We check underlying joists whenever we find rotted deck boards.

Wobbly Railings

Grab your deck railings and give them a shake. Any movement indicates loose posts or failed connections. Wobbly railings are a safety hazard, especially for children and elderly visitors. We reinforce railing posts with proper blocking and through-bolts for secure, code-compliant installations.

Warped or Cupped Boards

Boards that cup (curve across their width) or warp create tripping hazards and look unsightly. This usually results from inadequate sealing or boards installed bark-side-down. Individual warped boards can be replaced, or severely warped decks may benefit from resurfacing with new decking.

Corroded Hardware

Check the screws, nails, and brackets holding your deck together. Rust streaks indicate corroded fasteners that may be failing. Older decks often used non-galvanized hardware that's now compromised. We replace failed fasteners with stainless steel or coated deck screws that resist Illinois weather. All deck repairs come with our 30-day labor quality guarantee.
