Check Your Deck

A well-planned maintenance program is the best insurance policy against deck repair and replacement costs. Sun and moisture can cause premature rotting and decks must be maintained to avoid unnecessary repairs and replacement costs.

Sweep the deck often, and when it gets very dirty, hose or scrub it down. Look for water stains where the deck ties to the house since leakage can lead to wood decay. If you have any doubt about the structural integrity of the deck, call a pro to investigate.

Get rid of moss and mold. Pressure washers are effective if used properly and carefully. Remember, if you see wood damage, like raised fibers, increase the distance between the spray nozzle and the decking. Normal wear and tear may also loosen joints and connections, so check and tighten them regularly. Apply a coat of wood stain or water repellent every 1 to 2 years.
