Ballwin homes and this kind of project
Because Ballwin is made up of 1960s to 1980s ranches, split-levels and two-stories, the first thing we check for a deck repair here is the ledger, hanger fasteners, post bases and every guard post.
The housing stock here: 1960s to 1980s ranches, split-levels and two-stories.
Low decks near the ground rot from beneath, so we check joists as well as boards.
Lots, exteriors and approvals in Ballwin
Aluminum and wood siding, original windows and aging decks. Mature trees mean leaf-clogged gutters and rot at fascia and trim.
Mid-century lots in Ballwin are wide and level with mature trees, which makes them excellent for screened porches and low decks. Shade means damp, so composite decking and rot-proof trim earn their cost here.
What is included
Our Ballwin deck repair work includes board and joist replacement, ledger reflashing, hanger and hardware upgrades, stair rebuilds, new guard posts and balusters, cleaning, brightening and staining.
We take on deck repair work in and around neighborhoods off Manchester, Clayton and Kehrs Mill roads.
What we watch for
Over-aggressive pressure washing has furred up a lot of deck boards in Ballwin. We use low pressure and chemistry instead, and sand where a previous wash did damage.
Ballwin properties tend to be comfortable lots under mature trees, and that affects how we stage materials, where a carpenter and a finisher park and how debris leaves the site.
Permits and approvals in Ballwin
In Ballwin, a deck repair is reviewed by the City of Ballwin. What follows is an inspection only when structure, stairs or guards are rebuilt.
Since this work shows from outside, also plan on subdivision indentures dating back decades. We prepare that submittal alongside the permit.

Deck Repair & Refinishing in Ballwin: common questions
How long does a deck repair take in Ballwin?
Repairs take one to four days. For Ballwin we group trade visits to keep that schedule tight despite the drive.
Do I need approval beyond a permit for a deck repair in Ballwin?
Possibly. In Ballwin you may be dealing with subdivision indentures dating back decades. City or county approval and private approval are separate, and we prepare both submittals and wait for written approval before ordering materials.
Can you fix a bouncy deck?
Often, with mid-span blocking, an added beam or sistered joists.
