Our Repair & Restoration Process
Dream Decks follows a proven process from initial consultation through project completion, ensuring quality results and clear communication at every step.
Comprehensive Deck Inspection
45-60 minutes
Our inspector examines all structural components: ledger board attachment, joist condition, post connections, beam integrity, and surface boards. We use moisture meters and probing tools to detect hidden rot and decay.
Detailed Inspection Report
2-3 business days
You receive a written report with photos documenting all findings. We prioritize issues by safety urgency and provide repair vs. replacement cost comparisons for informed decision-making.
Repair Planning & Estimate
Included with report
Based on inspection findings, we provide detailed repair specifications and transparent pricing. We explain which repairs are critical for safety versus cosmetic improvements.
