If your deck feels soft underfoot, leans, or shows signs of rot, it's time to act. Alliance Deck Builders of Rhode Island specializes in structural deck repair and reinforcement to protect your family, guests, and property. We evaluate every component—posts, joists, beams, railings, and footings—to find weaknesses before they become hazards. Whether you're dealing with water damage, code violations, or general wear from age, we bring your deck back to safe, solid condition using modern materials and proven techniques.
Know the Warning Signs Before It’s Too Late
Many Rhode Island decks were built 20+ years ago and now show signs of age—loose boards, shaky railings, or sinking posts. These issues aren't just cosmetic. Rot, rusted hardware, or unstable framing can quickly turn into safety risks. We’ve repaired hundreds of decks throughout the state, restoring structural integrity while preserving what’s still good. A professional inspection today can save you from a costly rebuild tomorrow.
Spongy boards or soft spots
Wobbly railings or loose stairs
Posts shifting or pulling away from the house

Every deck is different. Some need a few new boards. Others require structural retrofitting or a complete reframe. Our Rhode Island crew handles it all—replacing cracked joists, securing loose ledger boards, swapping rusted hardware, or rebuilding stairs and railings to code. We also install new footings when posts have shifted. Whether you need minor repairs or a full overhaul, our process starts with a detailed inspection and ends with a safer, stronger deck.

Deck codes have changed. If your deck was built before 2010, it likely lacks the hardware and supports now required by Rhode Island regulations. We bring aging structures up to modern standards—adding proper flashing, hurricane ties, reinforced posts, and guardrails. Our team also makes sure your stairs, landings, and rail heights meet safety rules, so you can sell, refinance, or just relax knowing your deck is secure.
When you call Alliance Deck Builders, we show up on time, assess honestly, and explain your options clearly. We don’t upsell or cut corners—just honest repair work done by skilled professionals. Our repairs include everything from tightening rail bolts to complete re-decking, always with your safety and budget in mind. We document before-and-after conditions and keep the site clean throughout the process.
