Deck Repair in Hartford County, CT
Rotted boards, soft joists, wobbly railings and the ledger connection nobody thinks about until it matters.
Professional Deck Repair You Can Trust
Most deck repair calls start with a soft board underfoot. That's worth taking seriously, because the boards are the part you can see, and rot in a deck rarely stops at the surface — moisture that got into the decking has usually been sitting in the joists beneath it far longer.
Tico's repairs decks across Hartford County. We replace damaged decking and framing, re-secure loose railings and posts, and check the connections that actually carry the load — particularly the ledger board where the deck attaches to the house, which is the single most common point of serious deck failure and often the least inspected.
Common problems we solve
- Boards that flex, feel soft or have started to split and cup
- Railings and posts that wobble when you put weight on them
- Stair treads and stringers showing rot at the bottom
- A deck that's never been inspected where it attaches to the house
The Tico's Approach to Deck Repair
Framing Checked, Not Just Boards
Joists and beams probed for rot, since surface damage usually means more underneath.
Ledger Connection Inspected
The attachment to the house checked and corrected — the failure point that matters most.
Railings Made Solid
Posts re-secured to framing so railings stop moving when you lean on them.
Matched Where We Can
Replacement boards matched to the existing deck and blended into the run.
Simple, Transparent, Stress-Free

Deck Repair Questions, Answered
Repair or replace the whole deck?−
If the framing and footings are sound and the damage is in the decking, repair is far better value. If the joists or the ledger are compromised across the structure, replacement is both safer and usually cheaper than repairing piece by piece.
Why does the ledger board matter so much?−
It's what holds the deck to the house. Most serious deck collapses trace back to a ledger that was nailed rather than bolted, or one that has been quietly rotting because water was never flashed away from it.
Can you repair and then stain or seal it?−
Yes. New boards need to weather before they'll take a finish properly, so we'll advise on timing rather than sealing wood that isn't ready.
