Deck Repair & Restoration

Revitalize your outdoor space. We repair rot, reinforce safety railings, and stain decks to withstand Utah's harsh seasons.

Outdoor Safety & Longevity

Extend the life of your deck. We replace rotted wood, secure loose railings, and apply premium stains to protect against Utah weather.

Utah's climate is brutal on wooden decks. The combination of intense UV rays in the summer and heavy snow accumulation in the winter creates a freeze-thaw cycle that splits wood, loosens nails, and fades finishes. A deck that isn't maintained isn't just ugly—it's dangerous.

At Prospera Home Solutions, we specialize in structural deck repair. We don't just paint over the problem; we find the rot, replace the boards, and ensure your family is safe before we worry about how it looks.

Is Your Deck Safe?

Wobbly railings are the #1 code violation we see in Lehi and Draper. If your railing moves more than an inch when you push it, it needs immediate reinforcement with lag bolts and structural blocking.

Our Deck Services

We work with both natural wood (Redwood/Cedar) and composite materials (Trex) to restore your outdoor oasis.

  • Board Replacement: We remove splintered, warped, or rotted floorboards and replace them, matching the existing wood species as closely as possible.
  • Railing Reinforcement: We secure loose balusters and wobbly posts using heavy-duty structural screws and hardware to ensure they meet safety standards.
  • Staining & Sealing: We sand down old, peeling finishes and apply high-quality, penetrating oils or semi-transparent stains that repel water and block UV rays.
  • Stair Repair: Stairs are often the first place to rot due to ground contact. We rebuild stringers and treads to eliminate dangerous trip hazards.

The Restoration Process

1. Clean & Prep

We power wash the deck to remove gray oxidation, mold, and old dirt, preparing the wood pores.

2. Repair

We replace bad boards and tighten all loose hardware before any finish is applied.

3. Protect

We apply premium stain by hand (brush and roll) to ensure deep penetration and a uniform look.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I stain my deck in Utah?
Due to our high altitude sun and snowy winters, horizontal surfaces (floorboards) typically need restaining every 2-3 years. Vertical surfaces (railings) can last 4-5 years.
Can you replace wood with Trex (Composite)?
Yes, this is a popular upgrade. As long as your sub-structure (joists) is healthy, we can remove the old wood planks and install maintenance-free composite decking on top.
What if my deck posts are rotting at the bottom?
This is common. We can often shore up the deck, cut out the rot, and install a new post base (standoff) that keeps the wood off the concrete to prevent future rot.
Do you do structural repairs?
Yes. If your ledger board is pulling away from the house or joists are sagging, we can install structural hardware to make it safe again.
