About the Service

Deck Repair, Done Right

We start by checking the parts you cannot easily see: the ledger connection, posts, beams, joists, flashing and fasteners. If a repair will do the job, we do the repair. If the structure is past saving, we tell you that too, and explain your options.

Typical repairs include replacing rotted boards and joists, re-securing railings, fixing stairs, adding flashing and bracing, and refreshing the surface with cleaning and a new finish.

Music City Deck & Fence brings deck repair to homes and businesses in Nashville and across 14 Middle Tennessee cities.

Good to Know

Questions About Deck Repair

Still have a question?

Call 615-357-7797

How do I know if my deck is safe?

Look for soft or rotted wood, wobbly rails, loose stairs, rusted hardware and gaps at the house connection. A professional inspection is the surest way to know.

Is it better to repair or replace?

If the structure is sound, repair or resurfacing often makes sense. If framing is rotted or the ledger is failing, a rebuild may be safer. We tell you honestly.

Can you match old boards?

We can often match species and size for wood, but color will differ until the new boards weather. A refinish brings everything together.
