PrimeFix ProLine — Service
Fix what's failing. Save what still works.
A damaged deck doesn't always mean a full tear-down. PrimeFix ProLine specializes in structural deck repair and complete restoration — fixing rot, reinforcing framing, and refinishing surfaces so your deck is safe, solid, and looks like new. In many cases, restoration is a practical and cost-effective alternative to a full replacement.
Every restoration project begins with a thorough inspection of your deck's structural components. We check ledger board connections, joist hangers, beam-to-post connections, footings, and fasteners. We use a moisture meter to detect hidden rot and assess the integrity of every load-bearing member. You'll receive a detailed report with photos, findings, and recommended repairs.
We remove and replace rotted joists, beams, posts, and ledger boards using pressure-treated lumber rated for ground contact where needed. All connections are reinforced with Simpson Strong-Tie hardware and stainless steel fasteners. We sister new joists alongside weakened ones and add blocking where needed to restore structural rigidity.
After structural repairs, we power wash the entire deck surface, sand rough spots and splinters, and apply commercial-grade stain and sealant. We use penetrating oil-based stains for natural wood and manufacturer-recommended cleaners for composite surfaces. The result is a deck that looks and performs like new at a fraction of the replacement cost.
If a significant portion of your deck's structural framing is compromised, a full rebuild may be more practical. During our inspection, we'll give you an honest assessment and a side-by-side cost comparison of repair versus replacement so you can make an informed decision.
Frequently Asked Questions

Repair costs vary depending on the extent of damage and materials involved. Minor surface repairs are significantly less than major structural work. We provide a free, detailed estimate after inspecting your deck so you know exactly what to expect.
Yes. We stock common pressure-treated lumber dimensions and work with local suppliers to match cedar profiles, composite colors, and fastener types. For discontinued products, we'll find the closest available match.
