Deck repair built to outlast another Colorado winter.
Structural fixes, board replacement, and full-system rebuilds — done right the first time.
From cracked joists to rotted ledger boards, we diagnose and fix the real problem instead of covering it up.
Most deck failures start where you can't see them.
Surface boards get the attention, but the failures that hurt people — collapses, rail blowouts, joist drops — almost always begin underneath. Hidden rot, undersized ledger fasteners, and corroded hangers are quiet for years, then catastrophic.
Every Deck Doctor repair starts with a full structural inspection. We pull boards where we need to, photograph what we find, and walk you through it before we quote a fix.
Diagnose before we demolish.
We don't believe in tear-it-down-and-replace as a default. Often 70% of a deck is structurally sound and the real fix is targeted — new ledger flashing, sister joists at the problem bay, replacement posts, and fresh decking on the failed runs.
You get a written scope with photos, options at different price points, and a recommendation based on what we'd do if it were our own home.
Joists, beams, posts, ledgers, hangers, fasteners.
Sagging or bouncy decks usually trace back to undersized joists or improper spans. Pulling away from the house almost always means a failing ledger connection. Wobbly rails are nearly always a post-to-rim attachment issue.
We rebuild each of these to current Colorado code, with stainless or hot-dipped galvanized hardware rated for ACQ-treated lumber.
Lumber and hardware chosen for Colorado.
Pressure-treated #1 SYP for structural members, Simpson Strong-Tie ZMAX or stainless connectors, GRK structural screws, and Trex/TimberTech composite or kiln-dried cedar for decking — whichever fits your project and budget.
We never use bright basic screws, undersized lag bolts, or import-grade hangers. The hardware is the cheapest part of the job and the part that fails first when it's wrong.
Snow loads, UV, and freeze-thaw — designed for from day one.
A deck that's perfectly built for Texas will fail in Golden. Front Range snow loads (typically 30 PSF ground snow, higher in the foothills) demand specific joist sizing and beam spans. UV at altitude breaks down cheap stains in two seasons.
We design and repair to the conditions you actually have, not the generic ICC defaults.
What deck repair really costs.
Spot repairs (a few boards, a rail section) typically run $1,200–$3,500. Structural repair with partial reboard runs $4,000–$12,000. Full structural rebuild keeping the original footprint generally runs $15,000–$30,000.
We give you a fixed-price quote, not a 'time and materials' open ticket. The number you sign is the number you pay.
Every job, fully permitted.
Structural repair in Jefferson, Denver, Arapahoe, Douglas, and Boulder counties requires a permit. We pull it, schedule the inspection, and handle the paperwork.
Unpermitted repair work is one of the most common reasons homeowners lose money at resale. We protect that for you.
Five years on labor. Manufacturer warranties on materials.
Our structural repair labor is warrantied for five years from completion. Trex, TimberTech, and Simpson hardware carry their own manufacturer warranties — typically 25 years on decking and lifetime on connectors.
If anything we touch fails in that window, we come back and fix it. No fine print.

Answers before you ask.
Don't see your question? Call us or schedule a free site visit and we'll walk through it on your deck.
Can my old deck be saved or does it need a full rebuild?
About 70% of the decks we inspect can be saved with targeted structural repair. We'll tell you honestly which side yours falls on.
How long does a typical repair take?
Spot repairs are usually 1–2 days on site. Full structural rebuilds run 1–3 weeks depending on size and material lead times.
Do you handle permits?
Yes — we pull every required permit and coordinate inspections. You don't deal with the county.
Often built together.
