Whether it’s a quick repair or a full rebuild, we’ve got the tools, experience, and craftsmanship to do it right for Edmonton homeowners.
Wood Railings Repair and Replacement Edmonton
Wood railings are key safety features for stairs, decks, and balconies, and they take a beating from constant use and harsh weather. We handle railing repairs from minor touch-ups to complete overhauls. If you’ve got loose sections, splintering wood, or signs of rot, we’ll assess and fix the problem using high-quality materials that match or upgrade your current design. Our team is known for precise, clean work with lasting results. And while we’re restoring your railings, consider our siding painting service to refresh your home’s exterior—our crews can take care of both in one go, saving you time and hassle.
Wood Posts Repair and Replacement Edmonton
Wood posts serve as the backbone of your railing system, and when they weaken, the entire structure’s at risk. Whether it’s structural instability, rotting at the base, or surface damage, we know how to bring old posts back to life—or replace them when needed. Our post repair and replacement work is built for both strength and appearance, blending seamlessly into your existing setup. Clients often pair this service with our siding painting for a full exterior upgrade. When posts are reinforced and siding’s freshly coated, your home gets a serious boost in curb appeal and value.
Wood Pickets Repair and Replacement Edmonton
Wood pickets tie the whole railing system together, offering both protection and style. Over time, pickets can loosen, crack, or warp. We fix individual pickets or replace full sections depending on the damage. Our team ensures each piece is securely fastened, aligned, and finished for a smooth, consistent look. Whether your pickets are ornamental or purely functional, we restore them to peak condition. And homeowners looking to do more in one go, we also offer siding painting, so you can update your rails and your siding in one streamlined project.
Wood Railings, Posts, and Pickets Wood Repairs We Offer
Rotting Wood
Moisture is wood’s worst enemy, especially in Edmonton’s variable climate. Rot weakens your railing system and spreads quickly if ignored. We replace affected sections and treat the surrounding area to prevent further damage.
Cracks or Splits
Small cracks become big problems. We fill, seal, or replace cracked sections to keep your railings safe and intact. Every repair is sanded and finished for a smooth look and long-term strength.
Insect Damage
Termites and carpenter ants can quietly destroy wood from the inside. Our team identifies insect damage early, removes compromised wood, and replaces it with treated materials that resist future infestation.
Peeling Paint or Stain
Peeling paint isn’t just cosmetic—it exposes wood to moisture and UV damage. We strip, sand, and repaint or re-stain railings, posts, and pickets using premium products designed for Edmonton’s weather.
Loose or Missing Sections
Loose railings or missing pickets are both safety hazards and eyesores. We secure every component properly and replace anything that’s too damaged to reuse, ensuring your setup is stable and secure.
Wood Replacement or Repair – Which One Should I Choose?
Not all damage means a full replacement. In many cases, repairing your wood railings, posts, or pickets is faster and more cost-effective. If the damage is localized—like a cracked picket or minor rot on one post—repairing is usually the best route. But if the structure is compromised, rot has spread, or the wood is heavily infested, replacement is the smarter long-term choice.
We always inspect before suggesting either option. You’ll get an honest assessment, clear pricing, and our professional recommendation—no pressure, just facts.
