Building a deck can be a great addition to your home, creating a very inviting outdoor space for entertaining and relaxing. While decks can provide a great atmosphere, keep in mind that the elements will affect the surface of your deck, so regular maintenance is important. Normal climate changes will cause wood to expand and contract, which can cause the boards to crack, cup, or twist. If you notice any loose boards, you should reset them using a hammer or screw gun to prevent any accidents or injuries. Some issues may be covered by a warranty, so you should always refer to your homeowner’s reference guide or call us for verification prior to performing any work. To extend the life of your wood deck, you should use a sealant or stain periodically to protect the wood. But, before you use any products on your deck, check with a professional and the manufacturer’s information to determine which products are best-suited for your specific needs. Also, before adding a deck, patio, or making any changes to an existing structure, such as staining or expanding an existing deck, make sure you check with your HOA to ensure that your plans coincide with those of your community.
