During the summer months, the Nashville community can see a variety of weather changes. From heat and humidity to strong storms, there are many ways that your deck can be affected if it has not been protected.

Below are our top tips for maintaining your deck during the summer.

Keep the Surface Clean

You will want to sweep away any debris of excess water after a summer storm. Over time, buildup and stains can happen. Luckily our team can provide you with a professional power washing service. Power washing is one of the few ways to remove long-term buildup and bacteria. We can service the following surfaces: Wood, aluminum, concrete, asphalt, and brick. Our painting contractors can have your deck looking like new in no time!

Schedule a Deck Painting or Staining Service

Is your deck starting to show signs of age? If you have noticed any chipping or peeling, it is time to schedule a deck refresh with us. A new coat of paint or stain is the best way to protect your deck surface. Each of these can keep your deck safe from moisture damage, strong UV rays, and foot traffic. Adding a paint or stain can also boost the visual appeal of your deck and make it feel much more inviting.

Watch Out for Repairs

Have you noticed any damaged areas along your deck? It is important to fix any issues as soon as you spot them to maintain the structural integrity of your deck. When you take the extra time for routine maintenance and repairs, you can avoid more costly problems in the future. If your deck has not been treated with a paint or stain, you will also be leaving it unprepared for the natural elements. More repairs will often be needed on an untreated deck.

These are just a few of the ways that you can keep your deck safe this summer in the Nashville community. Feel free to give us a call with any questions about our available deck painting services.
