Maintaining Your New Deck: Tips from the Pros
There is no doubt that regular
maintenance will keep your new wood
deck looking amazing for years, protect
your investment and enhance your
enjoyment for your outdoor space. When
you apply the following tips, your new
deck is sure to have a long and beautiful
life.
Regularly clean your deck. It is important
that deck washing is done properly. The
first step is to remove all debris from the
deck including debris between the deck
boards. This can be easily done with a putty knife. Make sure all shrubs and
other plants are protected. You can do this by covering them with light,
plastic sheeting. Choose an appropriate cleaner for your deck. If you are
unsure of what to use, contact your local deck experts and they can help you
decide what to use to clean your deck without damaging or stripping it.
If you plan to pressure wash your deck, it is crucial that you never use
damaging pressures or harsh chemicals as this can damage your deck
beyond repair. For added protection, you should have your deck properly
sealed after it has been thoroughly cleaned.
Inspect your deck on a regular basis and make necessary repairs as needed.
Replace any missing nails or screws to ensure proper support. Check for
signs of rot. Contact your local deck professionals as soon as you notice any
rot so they can fix it before it turns into an even bigger problem. Make sure
all railings are secure and free of cracks.
How to Prevent Staining and Discoloration:
Never let leaves and other debris pile up in the corners of your deck.
Keep trees and bushes trimmed around your deck.

Occasionally rearrange planters and deck furniture to avoid discoloration.
Keep gutters in good shape so they don't let excessive amounts of water run
onto your deck.
