Repairs while hosting

Hello!! My front porch steps and railing need to be replaced. The wood is ancient. However, I have guests booked with me all the way through October. I feel like this is work that really needs to be addressed sooner rather than later. Should I offer a discount to people staying there? Or just tell everyone about the problem and have it fixed while no one is renting? I don't want to be unprofessional or rude and intrude on someone's stay.

@Meghan201 If there is a danger to guests and you are aware of it then I fear for your liability if someone gets hurt.

Perhaps suggest to one guest a significant discount if they are willing to let you repair the woodwork while they are there.
