Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a deck repair cost in the Boston area?

Repair costs depend heavily on what needs to be fixed — a board replacement costs far less than a full structural repair. We provide detailed, itemized written estimates after an on-site visit — we don't give rough ballpark numbers over the phone, because a repair estimate without seeing your deck isn't an estimate worth trusting.

Can you repair just the deck boards?

Yes. If the framing underneath is rot-free and structurally sound, we can do a resurface — replacing just the decking and railings without touching the structure underneath.

Do you check the framing structure?

Absolutely. Every repair begins with a safety inspection of the joists, beams, and ledger board. We won't resurface over a compromised frame — we'll flag what needs structural attention first.

Can you match my existing materials?

We do our best. Wood weathers over time, so new boards will look different initially but will blend in as they age. For composite decking, we can often source similar colors or finishes from Trex®, TimberTech®, or AZEK®.

Do deck repairs require permits in Massachusetts?

It depends on the scope. Structural repairs — replacing ledger boards, posts, or beams — typically require a permit under Massachusetts 780 CMR building code. Minor cosmetic fixes like a few deck boards usually do not. We'll help you understand what's required for your project.

How long does a deck repair typically take?

Most repair projects take between 1 and 5 business days depending on scope. A full resurface takes longer than a targeted board replacement. We'll give you a more accurate timeline at the estimate visit.

Are you licensed and insured in Massachusetts?

Yes — Advanced Deck & Porch is fully licensed and insured to perform construction work in Massachusetts. Proof of license and insurance is available upon request.
