How to Maintain Your Deck

Posted on August 30, 2021

Your deck is often one of the most relaxing exterior spaces at your home. It is important to maintain the surface of your deck so that it can last for years to come. Here at CertaPro Painters® of Southlake, we value helping you keep your home looking its best. Below are a few of our tips for deck maintenance during the summer season.

Keep Your Deck Clean

You will want to sweep away any debris of excess water after a summer storm. Over time, buildup and stains can happen. However, 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. Keep your deck looking its best by scheduling your next power washing service with us.

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 cosmetic appearance of your deck and make it feel much more inviting. There is nothing quite like relaxing on a newly finished deck.

Watch Out for Seasonal Damage

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.

These are just a few of the ways that you can keep your deck safe this summer in the Southlake community. Fill out our online form to request a free estimate on your next deck painting or staining service today!
