“As families from all over the world are spending more time together, they will be looking to get outdoors and make use of their space. With more than 60 million decks in the U.S. (50m residential and 10m commercial), it is estimated that 30 million decks are past their useful life and need to be replaced or repaired. It is crucial for homeowners to have their decks inspected to verify the integrity of their deck to ensure user safety as well as help extend the deck’s life-span, improve appearance, and increase livability.”-North American Deck and Railing Association (NADRA.)

FLX Home Inspection Services, LLC is a member of NADRA and Ellis is a NADRA certified deck inspector.

Decks in many instances are built by DIYers without the knowledge of current building practices which compounds the risk considering the number of decks already past their useful life. In some cases, improperly flashed decks are allowing rain water to seep into and rot part of the outer structure of your home. Unfortunately deck failures often happen at the worst time, when loaded with family and friends.

The good news is a deck inspection is included in both a home inspection and maintenance inspection.

The stand alone cost of a typical deck inspection is between $75.00 and $175.00.
