If you live in Florida and own a wooden deck, you should be aware that your deck is more likely to need rebuilding or restoration because of high humidity levels and rain in the area.
The most common cause of damage is mold, which can destroy your deck, even if it doesn't look like there's any visible damage. Mold can also cause a variety of health problems for anyone who spends time on the deck, so if you're concerned, call one of our experts today!

If you're unsure about the condition of your deck, we've addressed some common questions to ask yourself when you think your deck might need repairs.
If you are trying to decide whether or not your deck needs repair, take a look at when it was built. Keep in mind that wood loses strength over time, so decks older than 5 years will be weaker than those that were newly built. If your deck looks old and rotted through, it's likely because you have had it for several years.
If you notice splinters on your deck, the wood may be weak and starting to deteriorate. Weak wood tends to become fragile and splinter easily.
If the soil around your deck and your home's foundation is excessively damp, then water has probably infiltrated the exterior structure of your home and seeped into the wood. If you see signs of mold or mildew forming on your deck, there is a chance of rot. You should take immediate action to get it repaired.

It's hazardous:
If your deck looks old and weak, there is a chance that some of the boards may be broken or missing. This can create a potentially dangerous situation for you and your family.
It's in bad condition:
If your deck has holes or gaps, or appears to be falling apart, you might want to consider replacing it. Even if the wood has not completely rotted through, replacing old, worn-down boards with new ones can increase the deck's lifespan.
It doesn't meet your needs:
When it comes to your deck, you may want to consider replacing it if you or your family members have outgrown it, if it has lost its function as a place to relax and entertain guests, or if there is anything that would make the space more valuable to you.
