Quick fixes may hide problems, but they rarely solve them. That’s why we focus on structural integrity—repairing not just the surface but the framework beneath. We replace compromised joists, footings, and beams with treated lumber, correct poor drainage, and eliminate safety hazards like loose steps or deteriorating railings. Our approach considers your local terrain, Vermont’s seasonal movements, and the original build’s condition. The result: a secure, stable, and code-compliant deck you can trust again.
Alliance Deck Builders of Vermont brings years of field-tested experience to every repair project. We know what Vermont decks go through—rot from pooling water, weakened connections from freeze-thaw cycles, and sagging from undersized beams or aged lumber. Whether your deck needs selective board replacement or a complete substructure overhaul, we’ll assess every inch and rebuild with precision. Safety, longevity, and code compliance always come first.

We don’t guess—we inspect. Every repair project starts with a detailed structural evaluation. We check for hidden moisture damage, compromised hardware, uneven settling, and code violations. You’ll get a clear breakdown of what’s safe, what’s fixable, and what needs rebuilding. Our process ensures you understand your deck’s condition and the exact scope of the work. That transparency means no surprises—just clear communication and honest craftsmanship.

Not sure if your deck needs a full replacement? We can help you evaluate that choice. In many cases, the surface boards are in good shape while the framing underneath has aged out—or vice versa. We provide honest assessments, never pushing for a full rebuild unless it’s truly needed. For structurally sound decks, reinforcement may include new support posts, added blocking, or upgraded fasteners. When larger repairs make more sense financially, we’ll lay out a phased plan that prioritizes safety and budget.
Our process begins with an in-person inspection and clear scope of work. We handle permitting when required, and we repair decks to meet or exceed Vermont’s current building codes. Once we’ve secured any necessary access and materials, we get to work—often starting with stabilization, then addressing framing, fasteners, and surface boards. Every repair is carefully documented and built to last, with final walkthroughs and cleanup included. You’ll know what we’re fixing, why it matters, and how to maintain it moving forward.
