Deck Inspections the Depew way
Depew is part of the city and its closest neighbors, close to the lake, with milder snow totals than the Southtowns but freeze-thaw swings that are just as hard on materials. Every deck inspections project we take on there gets the same standard as everywhere else in Western New York: footings set below the 48-inch frost line, framing sized for lake-effect snow loads, and flashed, sealed connections at the point freeze and thaw attacks first. We handle the permit process with your local building department from start to finish.

“They rebuilt the deck a bigger outfit said was unsalvageable, for half the rebuild price. Three winters later, solid.”

FAQs
Repair or rebuild, how do I know?
A free 20-minute inspection settles it. If the frame and footings are sound, repair is usually the smart money. If the ledger or posts have rot, we’ll show you with photos and price both paths.
What warranty comes with the work?
10 years on workmanship for new builds, 2 years on repairs, plus manufacturer warranties on boards, up to 50 years on some composites. Both in writing with the quote.
Is the quote really free?
Yes. A visit takes about an hour, and the written quote arrives within 48 hours. It’s valid for 60 days and there’s no pressure follow-up.
