Spongy boards, rotted joists, a deck you’re afraid to walk on — we fix it from the framing up. We inspect the structure underneath, replace what’s damaged, protect the new joists with flashing tape, and finish with composite or wood decking that’ll last. The same goes for porches and terraces: front porch repair, porch board replacement, and decking restoration are all part of what we do.

We serve homeowners across Old Bridge, Holmdel, Manalapan, and East Brunswick. Need the perimeter handled too? We also offer fence repair to match.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does deck repair cost in NJ?

Deck repair in Central NJ typically costs $500–$3,000+ depending on the scope. Replacing a few surface boards runs $200–$500. Structural repairs — rotted joists, beams, or ledger board — cost $1,000–$3,000+. Upgrading to composite decking adds material cost but eliminates future rot. MC Pro Builders provides a flat-rate quote after assessment — no hourly surprises.

How do I know if my deck needs structural repair or just new boards?

If the deck feels soft, bouncy, or spongy when you walk on it — the problem is almost certainly underneath. Rotted joists, cracked beams, or a deteriorated ledger board are structural issues that won't be fixed by replacing surface boards. We pull back the decking and inspect the framing before recommending anything.

Do you repair porches and terraces too, or only decks?

Both. We repair and restore decks, front porches, and terraces — porch board replacement, sagging or rotted framing, loose railings, and step treads. The approach is the same as deck repair: we inspect the framing underneath, replace what's rotted, protect new wood with joist tape, and finish with composite or pressure-treated decking.

What is joist tape and why does it matter?

Joist tape (also called flashing tape) is a waterproof membrane applied to the tops of joists before decking is installed. It prevents water from sitting on the wood and causing rot — the #1 reason decks fail. We install joist tape on every structural repair to extend the life of your deck by 10–15 years.

Should I go with composite or wood decking?

Composite (Trex, TimberTech) costs more upfront but requires zero staining, won't rot, and lasts 25–30 years. Pressure-treated wood is more affordable but needs staining every 2–3 years and lasts 15–20 years. We install both and can help you decide based on your budget, how long you plan to stay in the home, and the look you want.

Do you need a permit for deck repair in NJ?

Minor repairs (replacing a few boards, tightening railings) typically don't require a permit. Structural work — replacing joists, beams, posts, or the ledger board — usually does require a permit in most NJ municipalities. As a licensed contractor (HIC #13VH13662300), we handle the permit process when needed.
