Get your deck ready for summer
- or add one now!
Trex or pressure-treated? Redwood or cedar? Spa or
multi-level? Few places welcome spring as well as
a deck. But finding a competent contractor can be
almost as difficult as designing a deck that suits
your needs and meets local zoning codes. Contact us
for local professionals who can advise you as well
as build a quality deck.
If you already have a deck, preserve its natural beauty
with a waterproofing sealer once a year. Just be sure
the surface to be sealed is clean, dry and porous.
For a new deck built with pressure-treated lumber,
let the deck thoroughly dry before preserving.
Why seal your deck? The sun's ultraviolet rays penetrate
the wood less than 1/64 of an inch, which causes only
cosmetic damage. But cycles of wetting and drying
cause wood to expand and contract, leading to cracking
and warping.
If wood stays moist, fungus can grow, rotting the
wood or producing mildew. Then, you may need a power
washer to remove the mildew before sealing your deck.
Make sure you have the deck sanded and loose nails
repaired before you seal it, too.
If your deck is built with Trex, you can paint or
stain your deck once it fades, which usually takes
6 to 12 weeks. But you don't have to seal a Trex deck
to protect it. Whatever your deck, we've built a team
of companies to get yours ready.
