When maintaining the safety and appearance of your deck, it is critical to inspect them regularly. Common deck repairs include replacing loose rails or broken floorboards, removing rusted nails, and retightening screws.

Significant Areas to Focus During Inspection
Now, no matter how frequently you inspect or maintain your deck by staining and sealing it, its surface will need to be replaced regularly. Damage to the substructure is a significant concern, and if it is severe enough, it may be necessary to replace the entire deck.
- The deck surface includes the handrails, railings, and deck boards themselves. Because the surface of your deck is the most vulnerable to UV and moisture, it is also the most susceptible part of your deck and is likely to degrade the fastest.
- Deck posts are the vertical components of the deck’s substructure that keep it up and off the ground. Horizontal lumber, such as beams and joists, typically rots first where it joins other timber.
- The fascia board is a wide, thin board that wraps around the deck’s perimeter, either just beneath the deck boards or concealing the deck boards’ ends. If you notice discoloration on your deck boards, it could be because your fascia board is trapping moisture and potentially causing rot.
When to Repair or Replace A Deck
When the cost of repairs approaches the cost of replacing the entire deck, you should consider replacing it. Even structurally sound decking materials are old, and you may have to replace them in a few years anyway. A single rotten post is a pain to replace, requiring the surrounding beams to be braced with temporary supports while the post is swapped out for a new one, but it hardly justifies the cost of a new deck.
Finally, if water is trapped behind the fascia board, it is likely held against the entire length of the beam. Having a fascia board issue will probably need deck replacement instead of just a repair.
Choosing Materials for Deck Component Replacement
Consider composite decking for the surface that is most vulnerable to UV and water damage. There are a few advantages to using composite deck boards over wood:
- Because they are made of plastic, they are less susceptible to microbes and less appealing to insects.
- Fully capped boards are impervious to moisture on all sides. Capping also makes composite decking splinter-free and barefoot-friendly.
- Engineered fasteners ensure proper ventilation and do not allow moisture to enter the board.
Regardless of whether you repair your deck surface or replace the entire object, alternative materials such as steel substructures and composites are worth considering to extend the life of your deck. You will save money on long-distance repairs and save time.
