Decks are a great addition to any home. They provide a place to relax and entertain outdoors and can add value to your property. However, decks require regular maintenance to keep them looking their best and to ensure that they last for many years. Here are some tips for maintaining your deck.
Clean, Inspect and Repair

Dirt, leaves, and other debris can accumulate on your deck over time, which can lead to mold and mildew growth. To prevent this, it’s important to clean your deck regularly with a deck cleaner and a pressure washer. You should also inspect your deck for damage. Over time, decks can become damaged from exposure to the elements. Check your deck regularly for signs of damage such as loose boards or railings, rotting wood, or rusted hardware. If you find any damage during your inspection, it’s important to repair it as soon as possible to prevent further damage.
Trees and bushes that are too close to your deck can cause damage over time from falling branches or leaves. Be sure to trim any nearby trees or bushes regularly.
Stain or Seal

Staining or sealing your deck can help protect it from the elements and keep it looking its best. Be sure to choose a stain or sealant that is appropriate for your type of wood.
Do you keep container plants on your deck? Planters can cause discoloration on your deck over time. To prevent this, use mats under planters to protect the surface of your deck.
Rotate Furniture

If you have furniture on your deck, be sure to move it around regularly to prevent wear and tear on one area of the deck. Water may be collecting under your pieces that can lead to damage or the sun may cause uneven coloration if furniture is left in the same spot.
