Who we are

We’re builders and problem-solvers—and after 25+ years in hardwood flooring and decking, we got tired of seeing decks fail at the same spot: rotted or weak butt joints. Too often the “fix” turns into a bigger tear-out than it needs to be, wasting time, lumber, and money.

That’s why Classic Wood Floors created the Deck Repair Patch Block: a simple, reliable way to restore solid fastening support right where the joint has failed—using the joist that’s already there. Remove boards with bad joint, install the Deck Repair Patch Block and fasten, trim the boards and replace them, and get your deck back to feeling strong and safe.

We believe deck repairs should be straightforward, secure, and done right—without turning a small problem into a major rebuild. With Classic Wood Floors is proud to offer a dependable solution that makes common deck repairs faster, cleaner, and more effective—so you can get back to enjoying a safe, attractive outdoor space.

Frequently Asked Questions -

  • The Deck Repair Patch Block is a repair solution designed to fix weak, rotted, or failing deck board butt joints. It installs over the existing joist and creates a new, solid fastening surface for trimmed deck boards.

  • It solves a very common deck issue: when the butt joint between two boards becomes rotted, loose, or unsafe. Instead of replacing large sections of decking, you can trim back to solid wood and restore support right at the joint.

  • No. You only need to remove the damaged boards and install the patch block where the previous but joint was. At this point you can trim the damaged boards and secure them to the ears of the Patch Block.

  • Yes — that’s exactly what it’s designed for. If the butt joint area is rotted or failing, you can cut back the damaged ends and use the Deck Repair Patch Block to create a new fastening point.

  • No. The Deck Repair Patch Block works with the existing joist. It saddles over the joist and replaces where the original butt joint has failed.

    • Drill/driver

    • Saw (to trim damaged board ends)

    • Measuring tape
