Make Your Old Deck Look Like New Again

When you walk across your deck, what do you notice?  If you have noticed loose or rotting boards, worn out stain or squeaky spots on your decks, it may be time to have a deck contractor fix your deck. Old decks not only detract from the beauty of your home, they can be dangerous and cause injury. Here are some ideas to update your deck to ensure it is safe and beautiful again.

A deck adds space for entertaining and relaxing outside, giving you a place for enjoying time in the sun and under the stars. Decks are a beautiful option that can you one or multiple levels of space for your backyard. However, wood decks do require maintenance to protect the wood and keep it looking new. Stain and sealant helps protect the wood and stop it from graying and rot. Even with sealant, wood can eventually rot and need to be replaced.

Deck Sealant, Stain and Repairs

If your deck only has surface issues, staining and sealing may be all you need to make it look like new again. Pressure washing away debris, then adding new stain and sealant can give your deck a makeover. If there is no damage to the wood or structure, this is a quick fix for a deck that is looking worn.

However, if there are rotting, loose or splintering boards on your deck, you are beyond sealant. If only a few boards are in bad shape, you may be able to repair your deck. But, if you have structural problems or many boards that are weak, it may be time to replace the entire deck.

Maintenance can help keep your deck looking great and protected for many years. Talk to your local landscaper that offers deck repair and maintenance to have your deck repaired or sealed to make it look like new again before the summer.
