How Long Will It Take to Repair the Railings?
It depends on the railing’s condition and project size — from a couple of days to a few weeks, depending on whether support beams need replacing or how many boards have become loose. Once we complete a preliminary inspection, we’ll know exactly what we’re dealing with. We clean the deck and railings first, then match the color or material so repaired sections blend in seamlessly — and we follow every City rule so you won’t have issues passing inspection.
