Ault has a story worth knowing. The town started out as Bergdorf and was later renamed for Alexander Ault, a Fort Collins flour-mill owner who bought an entire local harvest during hard times so farmers would not go broke. It sits where US 85 meets State Highway 14, and it is home to Highland High School.
Ault is farm country, and its decks deal with open wind, strong sun, and hard winters.
Common Ault deck problems
Ault sits near 4,950 feet, north of Greeley on US 85. The decks we see here often need:
- Board repairs where rot has set in at the ends and seams
- New stain after years of sun and wind have worn the old finish away
- Railing repairs on posts that have loosened
- Post and footing work on older decks that were set right in the ground
- Stair repairs where treads have cracked or loosened
Built for small-town homes
Many Ault homes are older, and their decks were built before today’s rules. We check the framing first and fix what failed. Loose railings get new bolts and blocking. Soft boards get replaced after we check the joists under them. Posts on dirt get new concrete footings, dug at least 30 inches deep, below the frost line. If most of the frame is past saving, we will tell you and handle a full rebuild.
Hail is common in the farmland north of Greeley. After a big storm, check your deck’s stain for chips and bare spots and touch them up before winter.
