Repairs that make your deck safe and beautiful again
Not every aging deck needs to be torn down. Often the structure is sound and the deck just needs the right repairs — new boards, solid railings, or a full resurface — to be safe and good-looking for years more. Deck Master Inc. has repaired and restored decks across Toronto and the GTA since 2004, and we start every job the same way: with an honest inspection so you only pay for the work you actually need.
What we repair
- Rotting or cupped deck boards — replaced or fully resurfaced
- Wobbly or unsafe railings — re-secured or rebuilt to code
- Damaged joists and beams — sistered or replaced where the framing has failed
- Loose or heaved posts and footings — re-levelled or re-poured below the frost line
- Failing ledger connections — the deck-to-house attachment that's critical to safety
- Rusted fasteners, popped nails and worn stairs
Inspection first, always
A deck can look tired on the surface while the framing underneath is perfectly sound — or look fine on top while the ledger, posts or footings are quietly failing. We inspect the parts that matter for safety first: the ledger board, railings, posts and footings. That tells us whether you need a quick repair, a resurface, or a rebuild. If you'd like to understand the difference yourself, our guide on whether to repair or replace your deck walks through exactly what to look for.
Resurfacing: like-new without a full rebuild
If your framing, posts and footings are genuinely solid but the boards and railings are worn out, resurfacing is often the smart move: new decking and new railings on your existing structure, for far less than a full rebuild. It's also the perfect moment to switch to low-maintenance composite decking so you never stain or seal again. Resurfacing only works over sound framing, which is exactly why we inspect first.
Safety and the building code
Older GTA decks were sometimes built with undersized framing, nailed ledgers or footings above the frost line. Where a deck isn't safe or to code, we'll tell you plainly and bring it up to standard. You can read more in our guide to deck safety and the Ontario Building Code. Every repair is handled by our own WSIB-insured crews.
How much does deck repair cost in Toronto?
Minor repairs — a few boards, a railing fix or sistering a joist — typically run from a few hundred dollars up to about $2,500. Larger repairs and resurfacing land in the $3,000–$9,000 range in the GTA. We give you a firm quote after inspecting the deck.
Is it worth repairing my old deck or should I replace it?
It depends where the damage is. Cosmetic wear and isolated problems are worth repairing; widespread rot, a failing ledger or heaved footings usually mean replacement. As a rule of thumb, if repairs cost more than about half a rebuild, replacing is the smarter long-term spend.
Can you just replace the boards and keep my frame?
Yes — that's resurfacing, and it's very cost-effective as long as the framing, posts and footings pass inspection. It's also a great time to upgrade to composite decking.
Do you inspect decks before quoting?
Always. We check the ledger, railings, framing, posts and footings so our recommendation and quote reflect what your deck actually needs.
