Deck Maintenance – Every season is challenging to a deck. In winter, the rains, cold temps, snow, sleet and hail all work to damage a deck. Deck maintenance is all about cleaning and removing the surface damage and grime. Grime can be acidic and will cause a chemical reaction that makes the wood deteriorate. Powerwashing and cleaning is at minimum an annual chore. In addition, UV exposure and water are both damaging to your deck. Morning dew or even frost magnified incoming solar radiation which causes damage.
In short, a deck goes through a lot in a year and maintenance is required if homeowners wish to gain the full value of their investment. Maintenance of a deck does two things:
- Prevents Damage
- Reverses or limits the damage already done
Prevention – Includes cleaning, repairing and staining. Staining protects from UV damage, water damage, and fungi. Cleaning removes the debris that causes chemical damages to wood and coatings. Repairing is simply about removing damaged sections and replacing with new material. In the case of micro-damage, cleaning and filling spots mean the wood lasts longer and looks beautiful.
Deck Restoration or Repair – Repair as mentioned above is all about fixing the deck or its wooden structure so that it lasts as long as possible while still maintaining a beautiful look. This process can include sanding, drilling, and filling holes or replacing weak boards with new material.
After all, the longer a deck lasts while looking its best the more value it provides to the homeowner. Is deck restoration needed at your home? Reach out to our professionals and get answers to all of your decking questions.
