Clarkson Valley homes and this kind of project
A deck repair in Clarkson Valley means working in large traditional homes from the 1970s and 1980s, so on our first visit we look at the ledger, hanger fasteners, post bases and every guard post.
The housing stock here: large 1970s and 1980s traditional homes on lots of about an acre.
Decks of this age commonly have nailed, unflashed ledgers, which is a fix that cannot wait.
Lots, exteriors and approvals in Clarkson Valley
Brick and wood exteriors needing trim repair and paint, original decks and patios ready for replacement with covered outdoor rooms.
Builder decks in Clarkson Valley from these decades were minimal and are now at or past the end of their safe life. Replacement is a chance to correct ledger flashing, deepen footings and build something sized for how families use outdoor space today.
What is included
Our Clarkson Valley 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 across Clarkson Valley, from neighborhoods around Forest Hills Country Club to Kehrs Mill Road estates.
What we watch for
Over-aggressive pressure washing has furred up a lot of deck boards in Clarkson Valley. We use low pressure and chemistry instead, and sand where a previous wash did damage.
Site logistics matter: Clarkson Valley has lots of about an acre, so we agree with you where a carpenter and a finisher will park, store material and carry out debris.
Permits and approvals in Clarkson Valley
Clarkson Valley plan review with St. Louis County permits is where we file for a deck repair in Clarkson Valley, and the job will see an inspection only when structure, stairs or guards are rebuilt.
Since this work shows from outside, also plan on city architectural expectations for a uniformly traditional community. We prepare that submittal alongside the permit.
Schedule and getting to you
Most Clarkson Valley clients see one to four days plus drying weather of construction for a deck repair.
Clarkson Valley is I-64 to Clarkson Road, about thirty-five minutes from our Wentzville base. We plan crew days and deliveries around that drive so you get full working days on site.

Deck Repair & Refinishing in Clarkson Valley: common questions
How long does a deck repair take in Clarkson Valley?
Repairs take one to four days. For Clarkson Valley we group trade visits to keep that schedule tight despite the drive.
Do I need approval beyond a permit for a deck repair in Clarkson Valley?
Possibly. In Clarkson Valley you may be dealing with city architectural expectations for a uniformly traditional community. City or county approval and private approval are separate, and we prepare both submittals and wait for written approval before ordering materials.
My railing wobbles. Is that serious?
Yes. It is the most common deck injury cause after ledger failure. Usually it is fixed with blocking and structural screws or through-bolts.
