Deck Repair & Fence Replacement in Coquitlam: Keep Your Outdoor Spaces Safe
Coquitlam's Climate Is Hard on Outdoor Wood Structures
Decks and fences in Coquitlam face a relentless cycle: wet fall rains, hard freezes, then warm wet springs. This repeated freeze-thaw expansion and contraction splits boards, loosens fasteners, and accelerates rot — especially in untreated or poorly maintained wood.
Small Task Service Limited helps Coquitlam homeowners and strata properties keep their outdoor structures safe, functional, and attractive.
Deck Repair Warning Signs
Your deck may need professional attention if you notice:
- Soft, spongy, or discoloured boards — a sign of rot beneath the surface.
- Wobbly or leaning railings that fail the "shake test."
- Popped screws and nails creating trip hazards on the deck surface.
- Ledger board gaps where the deck meets the house — a serious structural concern.
- Stair stringers that feel unstable underfoot.
What We Repair & Replace
- Deck Boards: Individual plank replacements in pressure-treated lumber, cedar, or composite matching your existing deck.
- Railings & Posts: Rotten or leaning posts replaced with new pressure-treated 4×4s set in fresh concrete.
- Stair Repairs: Stringers reinforced or replaced, treads swapped, handrails re-secured to code.
- Fence Boards & Panels: Wind-damaged or rotted fence boards replaced with cedar or pressure-treated wood.
- Fence Posts: Leaning posts re-set in concrete or replaced entirely where the base has rotted.
- Gates: Sagging gates re-hung, hinges replaced, and latches adjusted for smooth operation.
Extend the Life of Your Deck with Annual Maintenance
After repairs, we recommend a thorough power wash followed by a quality wood sealer or stain applied every one to two years. This simple maintenance routine can double the lifespan of your deck boards and is far cheaper than full replacement.
