Maintaining your wood deck is critical in order to keep it beautiful and insure you protect the wood from the elements. With a return of 73% on the initial investment, wood decks are one of the most valuable assets contributing to the value of your home. One of the reasons a deck is such a great investment is because it increases your living area at a minimal cost per square foot.
Regular maintenance will provide you and your family with an enjoyable gathering place for years to come. World of Stains is happy to make the following maintenance recommendations:
- Make sure you stain and seal your deck. A surprising number of homeowners neglect to keep their deck protected. At World of Stains, we supply a large selection of top quality products that contain both stain and seal in one application!
- Break off splinters and sand sharp edges, then apply finish to the repair (or entire deck if needed). Make sure all nails, screws and bolts are hammered down or tightened.
- Clean your deck regularly with specially designed deck preparation and cleaning products. Cleaning is particularly important to avoid mold and mildew.
- Maintain the safety of your deck by replacing worn-out boards and railings.
