Handyman At Your Command handles deck repair in Odenton and across Anne Arundel County. We are a family-run crew, and we have fixed decks and fences here since 2008. Loose boards, wobbly railings, leaning posts, rotting stairs: we repair all of it. Jose, the owner, comes out for every estimate himself. Estimates are free, and Tracy answers our phone at any hour.
Fence repair is the same story. Storms knock sections over. Posts rot right at the ground line. We reset or replace the posts, then rebuild the damaged sections. When pickets weather out, we install new ones and blend them into the existing fence. We also assemble and install gazebos and pergolas, on a deck or on a pad. If a structure is past saving, we rebuild it in pressure-treated lumber or composite decking. We are licensed, bonded and insured.
Tell us what needs fixing. Tracy will get right back to you.
Most deck repair calls around Odenton start with a few bad boards. Fasteners back out and boards cup. Rot creeps in from the cut ends. We pull the damaged boards and check the joists underneath before anything new goes down. On one recent job, we laid new deck boards right next to the weathered originals. If your frame is still sound, we can install composite decking over it and save you a full teardown.
We build new decks too. If a frame is too far gone, a rebuild can cost less than chasing rot every spring. One recent build finished as a gray composite deck set beside a stone walkway. Every job starts with a free written estimate. Small fixes, like a loose railing or a few new boards, often run a few hundred dollars. A full rebuild runs into the thousands. You hear the real number before any work starts. The same carpenters handle doors and interior carpentry when you need work inside the house.
Maryland is hard on exterior wood. Summers stay humid, so boards soak up moisture and swell. Winters bring freeze and thaw, and the trapped water expands as it turns to ice. That cycle opens cracks and works fasteners loose. Rot follows the water in, and railings and stair treads usually go first. An unsealed deck can turn gray and splintered in a few seasons. Siding takes the same beating, so if yours is peeling we handle siding repair too.
Deck staining protects wood for a fraction of what repairs cost. We wash the deck first and let it dry. Then we apply a penetrating stain that seals the wood. Stain blocks sun fading and sheds water before it can soak in. We stain new lumber once it has dried out, and we restain older decks after repairs. If your boards have already gone gray, a wash and a fresh coat can bring the color back. Ask about staining when you book a deck repair and we will price both together.
A leaning fence rarely waits for business hours. Our phone is answered 24 hours a day, so you can book the moment you find the damage. One customer, Femi, called after a storm flattened their fence. Their review says: "Even though it was after hours I still able to set up a time for someone to fix the fence first thing in the morning. The handyman was prompt and very nice." We aim for the same on every storm call. We straighten or reset the posts, then rebuild the section to match the rest of the fence.
Gazebo installation and pergola work are steady jobs for us. We have assembled gazebo kits on existing decks and set others on concrete pads. We also build pergola benches and install lattice under decks and porches. Dev and Mackenzie wrote after their lattice job: "Jose and Rigoberto showed up on time and got straight to work putting up my lattice like true professionals!"
