What You Should Know About Deck Maintenance

Posted on June 28, 2021

There is no better place to spend a warm summer afternoon than your deck. Here at CertaPro Painters® of Aurora, our team can provide you with multiple professional painting services to keep your outdoor surfaces looking their best. With the ever-changing Colorado weather, it is important to invest in routine maintenance and painting. Below are a few of the ways our painting contractors can help keep your deck safe from the outdoor elements.

Keep Your Deck Clean With Professional Power Washing

deckOne of the ways you can keep your deck in optimal condition is by keeping the surface clean. While you can take care of simple sweeping and debris removal, sometimes you may need something more powerful. If you have noticed stains, mold, and buildup, power washing is a great way to get your surface clean. Our painters can service the following surfaces: Wood, aluminum, brick, asphalt, and concrete.

The Difference Between Stain & Paint

We also recommend investing in a protective coating for your deck’s surface. The two specific services we offer are deck painting and staining. While each can add their own visual appeal to your deck, they have a few differences. Stain is a great option due to its affordability and it will still show the natural grain patterns in your wood. Paint, while it has a higher cost per can, will often last years longer than stain.

Check for Damages During Season Changes

Another item to note is that deck damage will usually first be noticeable at the start of a new season. For example, after a cold winter or heavy rain season, you may notice moisture damage or paint peeling. This is why it is so important to have a protective coating (like paint or stain) added to the surface of your deck. They can each prevent excess moisture and even strong UV rays from harming your deck.

These are just a few pieces of information to keep in mind when it comes to maintaining your deck. If your deck could use a fresh coat of paint or stain, our professional painters in Aurora, CO are here for you.
