Address Rot With Structural Wood Deck Repair

Repair the Structure Behind Your Deck’s Problems

Deck Bros is a family-owned, licensed and insured contractor providing structural wood deck repair in Omaha and surrounding communities. Repairs include rotted joist replacement, ledger board repair, frame reinforcement, railing replacement, and ledger flashing upgrades. Financing is available through Acorn Finance for homeowners planning deck repairs.

Soft boards, sagging edges, and loose railings can point to damage beneath the surface. Replacing visible boards alone can leave that damage unresolved. We assess the supporting structure and explain which components need repair before defining your scope.

Rotted Joists and Weakened Connections

Joists are the horizontal supports beneath your deck boards. We replace rotted joists and reinforce weakened framing where needed. Your proposal identifies the replacement lumber, structural hardware, and labor for the agreed repairs.

Options include Simpson Strong-Tie hardware upgrades and joist tape, a protective layer that helps limit moisture exposure along the tops of joists.

Ledger Repairs and Water Protection

The ledger board connects your deck to your home. We address deteriorated ledger boards and connections, with ledger flashing upgrades where needed. Flashing directs water away from that connection to help protect the framing and siding.

Decking and Railing Repairs

We repair decks with pressure-treated wood, cedar, Ipe, composite, and PVC decking. Railing replacement options include composite systems and Fortress Railing. We explain material compatibility and visible differences before you approve replacement components.

A Clear Scope and a Protected Property

Your itemized quote identifies materials, hardware, labor, and any flashing or joist protection upgrades. Your project manager explains the repair sequence and discusses scope changes before additional work proceeds. Our crews protect your yard and siding and keep the work area clean each day.

I had a great experience with Deck Bros! Blake and his crew did an excellent job replacing my porch posts and rails. The new composite-wrapped posts and aluminum railings look great! The crew arrived when they said they would, completed the entire job in just half a day, and left everything clean when they were finished. They were professional, efficient, and easy to work with. I’m very happy with the results and would definitely recommend Deck Bros to anyone looking to upgrade their porch or deck!

Simpson Strong-Tie Hardware Upgrade

Replace deteriorated or unsuitable connectors with Simpson Strong-Tie hardware specified for your deck's repair. Proper connectors help transfer weight between framing members.

Joist Tape and Protection

Joist tape covers the tops of accessible framing members beneath your deck boards. It helps limit moisture exposure at board contact points and fastener penetrations.
