Wood outside in Indiana takes a beating. Freeze and thaw works fasteners loose, sun grays the boards, and one soft spot becomes a safety problem fast. We repair and replace deck boards, rebuild framing, set posts, and install railings that do not move when you lean on them. One of our favorite jobs was a full backyard deck with white railing that the homeowners now use all summer.
Fences get the same treatment. We set posts straight and deep, hang gates that swing true, and replace leaning sections before they take the neighbors' section down with them. We have also built and repaired backyard sheds, from re-hanging doors to setting up a new barn-style shed ready for the mower and the bikes.
Every outdoor project starts with an honest look at what is worth saving. If your deck frame is sound and only the boards are tired, Dennis will tell you that, because replacing everything when you only need a surface is wasting your money. If the framing is soft, he will show you where and explain what has to change to make it safe.
Railings deserve special mention because they are where safety and code meet. A loose railing on a raised deck is not cosmetic. We anchor railings the right way, into solid framing, so kids and grandparents can put their full weight on them without a wiggle.
What That Covers
- Deck board and framing repair
- New railings, anchored solid

Carpentry, Decks & Fences Questions
Can you repair just part of my deck or fence? +
Yes, and that is often the right call. If the framing or posts are sound, we replace only the failed boards or sections. You get a written estimate either way so you can compare.
Do you build new decks and fences or only repair them? +
Both. We have built decks, railings, fences, and sheds from scratch, and we also handle the repair work most builders will not come back for.
