Deck Maintenance & Upkeep in Northern Arizona
Any Northern Arizona homeowner knows that a wood deck can really add to the value and enjoyment of your home. However, a wood deck requires regular maintenance in order to stay in prime condition. First, it’s important to regularly sweep and clean your deck, removing any dirt, debris or leaves. You should also inspect your deck for any signs of damage or wear, and make repairs as necessary. Once a year, you should also give your deck a thorough cleaning with a power washer. This will remove any built-up dirt or grime and help to protect the wood from weathering. By following these simple steps, you can keep your wood deck looking great for years to come.

If you have a deck, fence, patio, or archways around your home, you know that the varying weather elements can take a toll on your wooden surfaces. If you don’t take proper care of them by re-sealing and re-staining at the right times, they can become a costly home maintenance expenditure that can significantly decrease the value of your home. The longer you wait to hire a painting contractor the more expensive this undertaking will become.
Northern Arizona is home to many homes with wood decks, fences, stucco porches, and cabins in need of staining. We offer professional painting and staining services for these types of structures in the greater northern Arizona services area.

Wash/Clean
Your deck and/or fence must be properly cleaned prior to applying a new stain. Pressure washing the surfaces will help eliminate mold, mildew, algae, etc as well as help remove any loose/peeling coatings. Using the proper cleaning solution is important depending on the conditions of the deck or fence. Depending on the desired finish, a full strip (chemical or sanding) and/or a brightening process may be necessary.
Preparation / Sanding
Proper cleaning and preparation are the key to getting the most out of your deck/fence staining. Any remaining loose coatings after the pressure wash must be scraped and or wire brushed off. Depending on the desired finish, sanding may also be necessary. Any loose nails, screws, and boards should be resecured. Caulking is generally not necessary for these structures as the stain will need to breath (release moisture).
Staining
Paint should never be applied to deck flooring. Using a quality stain is the best practice. If paint is used on vertical surfaces, any bare wood should be primed prior to applying the paint. Stains come in various finishes: transparent/translucent, semi-transparent, semi-solid, and solid (see “Stain Finishes” for more detail). Stains do not require a prime coat and should always be applied with a brush and roller. If a sprayer is used, a back-brush or back-roll should be performed to create an even finish as well as work the product into the wood.
Maintenance
With weather conditions in Northern Arizona, having a nice deck or fence is like having a nice yard, it requires fairly regular maintenance and upkeep. A simple wash, using a basic deck/fence cleaner, should be performed at least once a year. Depending on the kind of stain used, horizontal surfaces (ie: flooring, tops of railing, etc) will likely need touchups or even fresh coats every 1-4 years. Vertical surfaces will usually hold up longer because they are not walked on and moisture does not sit on them for extended periods of time. Touchups and fresh coats are usually completed on these every other round of horizontal surface reworks.
