As the weather gets better and better, we are all starting to look forward to spending more time in the great outdoors. If you are lucky enough to have a deck to spend time on, this is a great time to get it ready for the upcoming seasons. The early spring is the ideal time to prepare your deck since the weather hasn’t gotten too hot. Big Moose Pressure Cleaning is here to share some tips to help you get your deck ready for your summer entertaining.
Repair Deck Damage
The first thing that you are going to want to do is give your deck a thorough inspection and look for any damage that needs to be repaired. If you have any missing nails or screws, this is a good time to replace them. If there are some boards that have seen better days, you might want to consider replacing them now. This can help extend the life of your deck as you look for small repairs that need to be done along the way.
Deep Clean Deck
If your deck is like most, after the winter season, there is a great deal of debris on its surface. The best way to properly give your deck the deep clean that it needs is to have it professionally pressure cleaned. Is difficult to do this on you own as a deck is easily damaged when you aren’t experienced with a pressure washer. Pressure cleaning can remove any unwanted staining and other debris that can be damaging.
Refinish Deck?
This might be the year that refinishing is in order. If you are going to tackle this project on your own, make sure you are sanding the entire surface before laying down any new stain or paint. This will help it adhere to the surface better. Stain and sealer will give your deck protection against the elements for the next year.
Furnish the Deck
Some people remove the furniture from their deck for the winter season. This is the time to pull it all out and get your deck ready for some downtime out there. If your furniture is starting to look old and worn, you might consider purchasing new furniture for the space. If you don’t have any lighting out there, you might want to consider adding extra lighting to make the space as inviting as possible.
Clean Deck Often
The best advice we can give you is to make sure you’re cleaning your deck regularly. Nothing will help extend its life like keeping it cleaned. Cleaning your deck will remove any harmful substances like mold, mildew and algae from causing damage.
