How to Protect Your Deck During the Summer
Posted on August 25, 2021
Your deck is one of the most relaxing spaces at your home to enjoy during the warmer months. In order to make this exterior surface last for years to come, it is imperative to invest in routine maintenance. Here at CertaPro Painters® of Nashville and Middle Tennessee, we can help you keep your deck safe from the natural elements. Below are a few of our professional tips for maintaining your deck this summer.
Schedule a Professional Deck Painting or Staining Service
The best way to keep your deck safe from rain, insects, strong UV rays, and other parts of the outdoor environment, is with a fresh coat of paint or stain. Paint and stain are often your first line of defense. If you don’t add a protective layer to wood surfaces, they can be subject to moisture damage and wood rot. Our painting contractors have worked on many decks in our local community. We have the skill and experience you need for flawless deck painting and staining services.
Keep Your Surface Clean
Once your deck has been treated with a coat of paint or stain, you will want to keep it clean. This means sweeping away any debris after a summer storm, and watching for any water pooling that may occur. If you have noticed that your deck has hard to remove stains, mold, or other buildup, we recommend scheduling a professional power washing service. Power washing will easily blast away buildup, and make your deck look like new. We can service the following surfaces: Wood, brick, aluminum, asphalt, and concrete.
Watch Out for Seasonal Damage
The most common time for damage to occur at your deck in Nashville is during a season change. This is why we recommend taking a look around your deck at the end of each season. If you spot any structural issues or soft spots, it is best to consult with a local professional as soon as possible. By taking care of any issues as soon as they start, you can avoid a more costly repair.
