Quick answer

What does deck repair & restoration cover?

We repair and restore decks across the Township of Ocean — board replacement, railing and baluster repair, structural inspection of the ledger and posts, and sand-and-seal. Fasteners and the ledger connection are what we look at first, because that is where decks fail.

— Overview

How this job usually goes

Decks rot from the fixings and the ledger, not from the middle of the boards. The surface is what you notice and the connection to the house is what matters, so a proper assessment looks at the parts nobody photographs.

What we check first

  • We pull a sample board and check joists and the ledger before quoting board-only replacement.
  • Fastener corrosion and ledger attachment are what decide safety — the surface boards are what you notice first.
  • Water beading on the seal means it is intact; water soaking straight in means resealing is due.

  • Deck board replacement
  • Railing and baluster repair
  • Ledger board inspection and flashing

Locally

Why this comes up here

Salt air along the Monmouth County shore accelerates fastener corrosion and fascia rot behind gutters. Deck assessments here look at the ledger connection and posts first — the parts nobody photographs — because that is where decks actually fail.

Browse all FAQs
Is my deck safe?

The two things that decide it are the ledger connection to the house and the posts. Both can look fine from above while failing. If a railing moves when you lean on it, get it looked at before the season.

How often should a deck be resealed?

It depends on exposure and the product used. Water beading on the surface means the seal is intact; water soaking straight in means it is due.

  • The first job Multi-Skilled Handyman did for me was to replace our tiny mail box with a bulky secure mailbox in our already built brick post. The outcome was fabulous. It looks like the wall and mailbox were built at the same time. Since then, Multi-Skilled Handyman has come over every six weeks. Each time, I simply hand over our Honey Do list and know with great confidence that everything will be done to amazing perfection.

  • Multi-Skilled Handyman is totally awesome and definitely an honest handyman! He came recommended to us and we called to have him look at the pergola over our patio to maybe replace some of the wood. He said that it wouldn’t be worth it for us to do now, that we should just wait and replace the whole thing. We were impressed with his honesty.

  • Great communication from Multi-Skilled Handyman! Very easy to work with and coordinate scheduling. Multi-Skilled worked really hard, cleaned up each day before he left, and did quality work. We had carpeting removed on the third floor, sub floor repaired, and a new laminate floor installed.

  • Multi-Skilled Handyman installed two porch railings for me. Very amiable and responsive reception by Multi-Skilled. Mike could not have been more responsible and knowledgeable in installing the railings. Will ask them again to help out when I need trustworthy individuals in my home. Thank you!
