Home Repairs in Oswego

Deck, stair and house repairs in Oswego

Deck boards cup, crack and pop their screws, and stair treads loosen until they rock under your foot. We replace the bad boards, refasten the rest, and secure loose treads and railings so the deck is safe to use again. If a post or joist is soft, we show you and price it before we touch it. The same trip can cover inside work like drywall holes, sticking doors and dripping faucets.

We cover Oswego in Kendall County, coming in on Route 34, Route 71, Orchard Road and Wolfs Crossing Road, with the Fox River running through town. A deck that takes full afternoon sun wears out its boards long before its framing, so replacing the worst boards can keep a sound deck going for years. When we replace a section of railing, we build it to current code for height and baluster spacing, not to match whatever was there. We also check the ledger where the deck meets the house, since that is one connection that should never be loose.

What an Oswego repair visit covers

How the job goes

Photos of the deck, with a close look at the worst boards and the stairs, are often enough for a first price. A bigger repair gets a free visit and a written estimate with each item listed. Once you approve it, we put the work on the calendar and show up that day. If pulling boards exposes a soft joist, we stop, price it in writing and wait for your approval. We haul away the old boards and walk the deck with you at the end.
