Don’t Just Patch It—Make It Stronger

Deck Repair & Structural Reinforcement in West Virginia

Repair the Right Way. Stay Safe.

We Fix Decks from the Frame Up

Loose railings. Sagging stairs. Rotten beams. If your deck is showing signs of wear—or worse, failing—don’t just cover it up. At Alliance Deck Builders of West Virginia, we specialize in structural deck repair and reinforcement that restores safety and stability from the inside out. We assess every component: joists, footings, posts, ledgers, and boards. Then we repair or replace what’s needed to meet current codes and support years of safe use.

Most Decks Fail Below the Surface

We Strengthen the Structure—Not Just the Surface

A deck that looks fine on top can still be dangerous underneath. We start every repair project with a full inspection to check for rot, shifting posts, and undersized framing. From there, we use pressure-treated replacements, galvanized fasteners, and modern framing techniques to rebuild what you don’t see—but absolutely depend on. If your deck was built more than 10 years ago, there’s a good chance it needs more support.

  • Replace undersized or rotted framing

  • Install new footings and load-bearing posts

  • Reinforce stairs, railings, and attachment points

More Than a Quick Fix

We Rebuild to Last, Not Just Look Better

We don’t slap on new boards and walk away. If your deck is shifting, cracking, or out of square, we get to the root cause—often poor framing or water damage. Our team replaces joists, installs proper blocking, upgrades hardware, and seals attachment points to prevent future issues. We can also add lateral bracing for decks that sway or bounce. It’s not just a cosmetic fix—it’s a full rebuild where it counts.

Update Old Decks to Modern Codes

Bringing Older Builds Up to Today’s Standards

Deck codes have changed a lot in the last 10–20 years. Many older decks were built with improper ledgers, weak railings, or inadequate footings. We bring these decks up to current standards using modern techniques and code-compliant hardware. Whether you’re preparing for a home sale, an inspection, or just want peace of mind, we make sure your deck is secure, supported, and safe for everyday use.

Partial Repair or Full Tear-Out? We’ll Advise Honestly

We Only Fix What Needs Fixing—And Rebuild What Doesn’t

Not every damaged deck needs to be demolished. Our crews assess what can safely stay and what has to go. We’ll replace just the surface if the frame is solid, or rebuild structural components while preserving your layout. If the whole deck is beyond repair, we’ll provide a clear quote for a full rebuild. No scare tactics, no overcharging—just honest guidance based on years of structural experience.
