PrimeFix ProLine — Service
Fix what's broken. Keep what works.
Not every deck problem requires a full rebuild. When individual boards are warped, cracked, splintered, or rotting, PrimeFix ProLine can replace them individually — matching your existing materials and finish so the repair is virtually invisible. It's the most cost-effective way to extend your deck's life and restore its appearance without the expense and disruption of a complete tear-down.
We start by inspecting every board on your deck surface and substructure. Using a moisture meter and visual inspection, we identify which boards need replacement and which are still structurally sound. We also check the joists beneath damaged boards — surface rot often indicates moisture issues that may have affected the framing below. You'll receive a clear report before any work begins.
Matching existing deck materials is one of our specialties. We stock common pressure-treated lumber profiles and work with suppliers to source matching cedar, redwood, and composite boards. For composite decks, we match by manufacturer, product line, color, and grain pattern. If your decking has been discontinued, we'll find the closest available match and discuss your options.
We carefully remove damaged boards without disturbing adjacent good boards. If the underlying joist is compromised, we sister a new joist alongside it before installing the new board. All new fasteners match the existing pattern — face-screwed or hidden clip depending on your deck's construction. After installation, we sand, stain, or finish the new boards to match the surrounding surface.
After completing board replacement, we provide recommendations to prevent future damage. This often includes improving drainage, adjusting sprinkler patterns, adding joist tape to protect framing, and establishing a regular staining schedule. Addressing the root cause of board failure prevents repeat repairs and extends the life of your entire deck.
Frequently Asked Questions
If a significant portion of your deck boards need replacement, a full resurface or rebuild may be more practical. We'll assess your specific situation and give you an honest recommendation based on what makes the most sense for your deck.
Yes. Pressure-treated lumber dimensions and profiles are standardized. New boards will be lighter in color initially but will weather to match over time, or we can apply stain to blend them in right away.
Costs depend on the number of boards, the material type, and whether any underlying joist work is needed. Composite materials generally cost more than pressure-treated lumber. We provide exact pricing after inspecting your deck.
Yes. We replace stair treads, risers, and stringers. Stairs are a high-wear area and often the first part of a deck to show damage. We reinforce stair framing during replacement to extend the life of the repair.
