What Deck Damage Actually Looks Like
Most deck damage in Underwood starts small and gets expensive when it’s ignored. Here’s what to look for before you contact us:
| What You See | What It Usually Means |
|---|---|
| Soft or spongy boards | Moisture rot in the wood, often deeper than the surface |
| Wobbly railings | Failing connections, potential safety code issue |
| Popping nails or screws | Wood movement, water getting into the framing |
| Peeling paint or stain | Exposed wood now absorbing moisture every rain |
| Separating ledger board | Structural failure, deck should not be used |
| Crumbling or damaged boards | Surface or subframe damage needing immediate repair |
What We Fix
- Damaged boards replaced with wood or composite to match your existing deck or upgrade the surface entirely.
- Railings repaired or replaced using Westbury aluminum, TimberTech composite, or wood depending on your budget and design preference.
- Sanding, staining, and refinishing for decks where the structure is solid but the surface has deteriorated from Iowa weather.
- Nails, screws, and hardware replaced throughout where fasteners have corroded or lost their grip.
- Structural framing including post replacement, joist sistering, and ledger repair for decks with deeper damage below the surface.
- Full resurfacing when the framing is intact but every board needs to go.
- Custom design upgrades if you want to use the repair as an opportunity to add composite decking, new railings, lighting, or stairs.

What Our Customers Say
d
Debra Whisonant
Luan and his crew are first rate deck builders. They refurbished and re-supported our old deck and added on additional new decking in a week after all was approved by the city of Lavista.
The only problems were with the composite supplier which Luan handled quickly. Definitely recommend them if you are looking for a new deck or want to update an old one.

FAQ
If the support posts, joists, and ledger are structurally sound, repair is almost always the smarter investment. Damaged boards, railings, and stairs are all components we can replace without touching the frame. If the structural damage is widespread, a full replacement often makes more financial sense and gives you a fresh build with a full warranty. We’ll give you a straight answer after the inspection. If rebuild is the better path, we’ll tell you that and show you exactly what a new deck would cost.
We work with pressure-treated wood, cedar, and composite decking products from TimberTech, Trex, and Fiberon. For railings we use Westbury aluminum and TimberTech composite systems. If you want to upgrade from wood to composite as part of the repair project, we walk you through the options during the estimate and help you find the best fit for your home, your design preferences, and your budget. Composite costs more upfront but eliminates the lifetime expense of staining, sealing, and refinishing that wood requires.
Yes. Structural repairs involving posts, footings, or ledger boards may require a building permit in Harrison County. We assess this for every project and manage all submissions on your behalf. You don’t need to fill out any forms or contact any department. It’s part of the service from day one.
Yes, and many Underwood homeowners choose to do exactly that.
