Deck replacement and renovation

Deck repair contracting services

Decks age and deteriorate over time. The longevity of your deck will depend on its materials, design, use, and the weather conditions your deck has been exposed to. It's critical to the safety of you, your family, and anyone standing on your deck that your deck be built to high design standards and with the best materials.

As of now, most jurisdictions require decks to be rated to hold a capacity of 40 pounds per square foot. The State of Washington, the DCA6, and 3 Brothers Decking wouldn't approve of a deck rated below a 60 pounds per square foot capacity.

The further away you stand from the mounting point of your deck, ie the ledger attached to your house; the weaker it becomes. Many decks in the past have been built with incompatible, insufficient, or inadequately strong hardware and materials. All these factors add up and result in many deck associated accidental deaths. 3 Brothers Decking is knowledgeable and experienced in building decks the right way, creating a safe foundation for your outdoor living space.
