Deck repair in Bonita, CA.
Deck repair for Bonita homes, done by licensed San Diego County deck builders. Most deck failures in San Diego trace back to three spots: a poorly flashed ledger board, rotted posts in contact with soil, and corroded coastal hardware. We diagnose before we quote, which means we tell you what has actually failed, what can be repaired, and when a full rebuild makes more sense.
Why is deck repair different in South County San Diego?
South County repair work often involves decks on homes that changed ownership recently and where the previous maintenance history is unknown. We do a full ledger, joist, post, and hardware assessment on any South County deck before quoting repair work, because deferred maintenance in the mild coastal climate can accumulate invisibly until a structural failure occurs.

How do I know if my deck needs repair or full replacement?
We assess the framing during the estimate. If the ledger, beams, and more than half the joists are sound, repair makes sense. If the ledger is rotted into the house rim joist or the posts are failing at the base, a rebuild is usually more cost-effective than piece-by-piece replacement. We give you both numbers so you can decide.
What is a ledger board and why does it fail?
The ledger board is the horizontal member that attaches the deck frame to the house. When it is not properly flashed, water infiltrates behind it, rots the ledger and the house framing behind it, and eventually allows the deck to pull away from the structure. A failed ledger is the most common cause of deck collapse. We re-flash and re-fasten ledger boards to current code.
