Small Changes, Big Results
Pocono Mountains • Lehigh Valley
This deck was suffering from serious rot that caused structural issues — including the posts above. What started as “a few boards” turned into a full safety-focused repair.
Deck repairs in progress — rot removal, framing fixes, stairs, and finished results.
The spongy deck boards may have started this project. However once you remove one thing you uncover another... just like this.
Rotten boards torn up. I did double up / replace a few joists and skirt boards.
We replaced boards, some joists, the skirt board, the post, and built a new railing system to match the existing.
Another view of what happened during the framing repairs.
Same kind of rot on this deck too. We replaced the full stair set, boards, joists, and railings.

Another section of the deck that needed repairs. Rot really does some damage.
Working on the last section including full replacement of the staircase.
This job turned out to be a lot more than I had bargained for — but we got it fixed and strong again.
Rot can hide under the surface — once boards come up, framing and hardware problems often show up too. This project included board replacement, framing repairs, post work, and a railing system that matches the existing.
If you see any of these, it’s usually cheaper to handle it early before rot spreads.
