Industry professional Sean McAleer encourages homeowners to inspect aging outdoor structures as peak season begins

SPARTA, NJ, UNITED STATES, May 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As homeowners across the country prepare to spend more time outdoors, Sean McAleer, owner of Deck Remodelers and author of Deck Rebellion, is drawing attention to an often overlooked issue: Deck Safety.

In recognition of National Deck Safety Month this May, McAleer is encouraging homeowners to evaluate the structural condition of their decks, many of which may be approaching or exceeding their intended lifespan.

“Many homeowners focus on aesthetic - furniture, lighting, and finishes - but structural safety is a critical consideration,” said McAleer. “We frequently encounter decks that are 15–25 years old and were not built to current standards.”

Industry estimates indicate that a large number of residential decks in North America are more than 20 years old, a stage at which components such as ledger boards, fasteners, and footings may deteriorate without proper maintenance.

Deck Remodelers, a New Jersey-based design and build firm, is using this seasonal milestone to share common indicators of potential structural concerns, including:
Loose or unstable railings
Corroded fasteners or hardware
Soft or deteriorating wood
Improperly attached ledger boards
Visible sagging or shifting

“Even decks that appear well-maintained can have underlying structural issues,” McAleer added. “A professional inspection can help identify potential risks before they lead to failure.”

As part of its Deck Safety Month efforts, the company is also sharing information from McAleer’s published work, which documents project examples and outlines design and construction considerations related to safety and durability.

Homeowners are encouraged to schedule professional inspections or perform basic visual checks before peak summer use.
