Hey neighbors—let’s talk deck safety! With our humid summers and icy winters here in Wentzville, even sturdy decks can develop hidden issues. Wobbly railings near Lake Saint Louis? Soft spots by the grill? These aren’t just eyesores; they’re accidents waiting to happen. I’ve seen firsthand how quickly small problems (like rusted joist hangers near New Town) turn into expensive repairs. A pro inspection checks for loose fasteners, rotting ledger boards, and other sneaky hazards. Catching these early saves money and keeps backyard gatherings safe. The full breakdown on warning signs and fixes is worth a look here: Wentzville Deck Repair Guide.
