Signs your deck needs replacing

Soft or cracked boards, loose or wobbly railings, stairs that move, rusted fasteners and rot at the posts or where the deck meets the house are safety problems, not just looks. The ledger board is where most old decks fail.

Before you hire

Composite or wood?

Pressure-treated wood costs less up front but needs regular sealing and staining. Composite like Trex costs more but does not need sanding or staining and holds up much better in shade and wet yards.

Either way, the structure underneath matters most. We never reuse a questionable ledger or undersized footings.

How Herts handles decks

Deck questions

Do I need a permit for a deck?

In most New Jersey towns, yes. New decks and deck rebuilds almost always need a permit, and we handle the application and inspections.

How long does a deck take to build?

It depends on the size and design, plus the time it takes the town to issue the permit. We give you a timeline in the estimate.

Can you put new boards on my old frame?

Only if the frame, footings and ledger are sound. We inspect the structure first and tell you honestly whether it is safe to reuse.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. Financing is available on larger projects. Ask about it at your estimate and we will send you the options.
