Reclaim your weathered cedar — restore, don't replace.
O'Fallon's cedar deck restoration specialists. We detect wood rot, reinforce structural post-to-beam connections, and apply professional oil-staining cycles that extend your deck's lifespan for decades — at a fraction of replacement cost.
Restoration services built for cedar
Every deck tells a story. We diagnose what's salvageable, reinforce what's weak, and finish what's tired — so you get years more life without the cost of a full replacement.
Structural Restoration
Post-to-beam reinforcement, joist sistering, and ledger-board repair that meets National Deck and Railing Association safety standards.
Wood Rot Detection
Probing, moisture mapping, and core inspection to find hidden decay before it spreads through your cedar framing.
Professional Oil-Staining
Deep-penetrating oil finishes on a scheduled cycle to protect against UV, moisture, and the 63366 freeze-thaw season.
Board & Railing Replacement
Selective cedar board and railing replacement that blends seamlessly with your existing deck — no full teardown required.
Three steps to a deck that lasts
Restoration vs. full replacement — the honest call
Not every gray, weathered deck needs to come down. Our inspectors probe every joist, beam, and post to map the real extent of rot. When the framing is sound, restoration costs 40–60% less than a rebuild and preserves the cedar you already own. When it isn't, we tell you straight — and quote a replacement only if it's the safer path.
- Moisture-meter mapping of every structural member
- Honest salvageability report before any work begins
- Blended board replacement keeps the original footprint
Post-to-beam reinforcement done to code
The ledger board and post-to-beam connections are where decks fail — and where most DIY repairs fall short. We reinforce with galvanized hardware, through-bolts, and tension ties that meet National Deck and Railing Association structural standards, so your deck holds the weight it was engineered to hold.
- Galvanized post-to-beam brackets & tension ties
- Ledger-board re-fastening with proper flashing
- Joist sistering for compromised framing members
Oil-staining cycles that actually last
A one-time stain is a waste of money. Cedar needs a deep-penetrating oil finish on a cycle — typically every 2–3 years in the 63366 climate — to fend off UV graying, moisture, and the freeze-thaw that lifts grain. We schedule and track your cycle so the finish never lapses.
- Penetrating oil finishes, not surface film coatings
- 2–3 year re-coat cycle tracked for every client
- Full prep: clean, brighten, dry, then stain
A clear path from weathered to renewed
Free inspection
We walk every board and probe every joist, then hand you a written salvageability report.
Structural repair
Rot removed, framing reinforced to code, and failed boards replaced with matching cedar.
Clean & stain
Deep clean, brighten, dry, then apply a penetrating oil finish on your tracked re-coat cycle.
“They told me three posts were rotted and the rest was solid — then reinforced the framing and re-stained the whole deck. It looks better than the day it was built, for a third of what a replacement would've cost.”
