Every home needs maintenance, but some repairs go unnoticed until it’s too late. This was the case for a homeowner whose deck, over 15 years old, appeared sound but concealed dangerous issues. Stains had masked the wood’s deterioration, and a walk-through by an older carpenter resulted in the floor giving way, causing him to fall through. Thankfully, his injuries weren’t severe, but the event served as a critical reminder: cosmetic fixes can’t hide structural weaknesses.
Cornerstone Decks and Additions was brought in to address the problem. Our team spotted the hidden issues, from rotting wood to unstable supports, and rebuilt the deck with a focus on safety and longevity.
This situation illustrates the importance of regular inspection and professional repair. Neglecting underlying issues, especially with older decks, can put your home and family at risk. Our team is trained to identify these problems before they become hazardous, ensuring your structure is safe and sound for years to come.
If your deck is showing signs of age, or if it’s been more than 15 years since its construction, it’s time for a professional evaluation. Don’t wait for an accident to realize repairs are needed—protect your investment and your loved ones with Cornerstone’s expert care.
