"My wooden privacy fence was not installed correctly. About a week after installation a portion of the fence began leaning forward and several of the boards begin buckling at the bottom. The fence was installed on September 2, 2021, and I contacted the owner on September 10, 2021. He responded back and said he would be there on the 13th and did not show. I receive a text from the owner on September 15, 2021, stating he had not forgotten he was going to wait until everything dries up before coming back out. I contacted the owner back again on October 21, 2021, and have not received a response. I also contacted the owner today which is November 15, 2021, and I still have not received a response back. I would not recommend Bordelons Home Repair because he did not install my fence correctly by not using enough boards to support the wooden fence and he does not stand behind his work."

FAQs for deck or porch repair projects in Alexandria, LA

Composite and ipe hardwood decks provide the longest durability for your outdoor space. Composite decks last 30 years exactly, and ipe hardwood decks continue reliably for 75 years when maintained properly. Frequent cleaning and sealing preserve these materials and protect them against weathering. This exceptional endurance minimizes future repair needs and offers a solid, lasting investment.

Replacing your deck directly increases your home’s market value and enhances its curb appeal. A new deck returns between 50% and 65% of its cost in additional home value at resale. This upgrade not only modernizes your outdoor living space but also significantly bolsters buyer interest, ensuring that your investment adds both functionality and an attractive aesthetic.

You should replace your deck when visible signs of wear begin to compromise safety and functionality. The quality of maintenance and the durability of the chosen materials determine when a deck reaches the end of its life. For example, decks crafted from superior materials like mahogany or ipe hardwood can last over 50 years, while cedar decks require replacement after 15 to 20 years. Regular inspections help guide this decision.

Your deck needs to be replaced when clear structural issues compromise its safety. Indicators include soft spots, sunken boards, scattered wood shavings, and hollow sounds that indicate rot or pest damage. These symptoms show that simple repairs are insufficient to maintain a secure deck. A professional evaluation is essential to confirm whether full replacement is necessary to protect your outdoor living area.
