Deck Repair in Marietta, GA | Cobb County Deck Repair Contractor
Georgia's heat, humidity, and storms take a toll on outdoor structures, and even a well-built deck will eventually need repair. Catalino Quality Construction provides professional deck repair services for homeowners throughout Marietta, GA and the greater Cobb County area. Whether you're dealing with a few cracked boards or significant structural damage, Robert Catalino and his crew diagnose the problem and fix it right the first time.
Common Deck Problems We Fix
The cycle of intense Georgia summers, heavy rain, and occasional freezing temperatures puts constant stress on wood. Over time, that cycle produces the kinds of damage we see on Marietta and Cobb County decks every week:
- Rotting or soft deck boards — especially at the edges and near planters, downspouts, or the house ledger where moisture accumulates
- Loose or wobbly railings — a safety concern that often signals failing fasteners or deteriorating posts
- Structural damage — weakened joists, cracked beams, sinking footings, or ledger boards pulling away from the house
- Splintered or warped boards — caused by UV exposure and repeated wet-dry cycles across Georgia seasons
- Failing stairs and stringers — treads that flex underfoot or stair connections that have loosened over time
- Corroded fasteners and hardware — joist hangers, lag bolts, and post bases that have rusted through and no longer provide structural support
Ignoring these problems allows damage to spread to otherwise sound framing, turning a manageable repair into a full rebuild.
Our Repair Process
Every repair starts with a comprehensive structural inspection. We examine the full deck — footings, posts, beams, joists, ledger connections, and hardware — so we catch hidden problems before they become safety hazards or expensive surprises. You receive a clear, written scope of work and a firm price before we begin.
Once work starts, we remove only what needs to go. Damaged boards, compromised fasteners, and weakened framing are replaced with materials that match or exceed the original. We pay close attention to flashing, joist hangers, and lag bolts — the details that keep a deck safely attached to your home for years to come.
Materials We Use
We work with pressure-treated southern yellow pine, cedar, and composite materials like Trex composite decking to match your existing deck or upgrade problem areas with longer-lasting alternatives. If your deck uses an older composite or a species that's been discontinued, we help you find the closest match or recommend a complementary option that blends cleanly.
For structural components — posts, beams, and joists — we use pressure-treated lumber rated for ground contact where required and attach everything with code-compliant hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does deck repair cost in Marietta, GA?
Deck repair costs vary widely depending on what's damaged and how far the damage has spread. Surface repairs like replacing a few boards are far less involved than structural work on joists, beams, or footings — which is why we always start with a thorough inspection before quoting. We provide a detailed written estimate after a free on-site visit so you know exactly what the work involves and what it will cost before anything starts.
Do you pull permits for deck repairs in Cobb County?
When a deck repair involves structural changes — replacing posts, beams, ledger boards, or footings — a permit from the applicable local authority (the city or Cobb County, depending on your address) is typically required. We handle the entire permitting process so you don't have to visit county offices.
How long does a typical deck repair take in Marietta?
Most deck repairs are completed in one to three days, depending on the extent of damage. Larger structural repairs or full board replacements may take up to a week. We'll give you a realistic timeline at the estimate.
What materials hold up best for deck repairs in Georgia's climate?
Pressure-treated southern yellow pine is the most common and cost-effective choice. For areas prone to moisture — near planters, downspouts, or the ledger board — composite decking like Trex resists rot, warping, and insect damage better than natural wood and typically outlasts wood by years.
Can you repair a deck that has rot in the framing?
Yes. We inspect the full structure — not just the surface boards — and replace compromised joists, posts, beams, and hardware as needed. Addressing structural rot early prevents what would be a manageable repair from becoming a full rebuild.
