Decks & fences
Solid underfoot. Straight down the line.
A deck should feel like a floor, not a suggestion. A gate should swing, latch, and hold the dog. Ken repairs the outdoor wood that keeps your home safe, good-looking, and ready for company.

Safety is the standard
A deck failure isn't a repair problem. It's an injury problem.
Superintendents spend careers thinking about what fails and who gets hurt when it does. That's the lens Ken brings to a wobbly rail or a soft spot in the decking: not "close enough," but "would I let my family lean on it." He uses the right fasteners, replaces what's actually rotted instead of covering it up, and leaves you with outdoor wood you don't have to think twice about.
The details that keep it standing
Do you build brand-new decks?
Ken's lane is repairing and rebuilding what's already there. A new deck from scratch usually means permits and plans, and he'll tell you straight if your project crosses that line before anyone spends money.
Can you replace just the bad boards, or is it all or nothing?
Just the bad ones, if the structure underneath is sound. He checks the framing first and gives you an honest read on what needs replacing and what's fine.
Do you stain or seal the finished work?
No. Staining and sealing fall under painting, and Ken doesn't paint. New boards go in ready for your stain pro, and he can recommend one.
My gate won't latch and the dog keeps getting out. Too small a job?
Perfect-sized job. Gates sag, posts shift, and latches quit lining up. It's usually one visit, and the dog stays in the yard.
Make it solid again.
Call or text Ken before the wobble gets worse.
