Spring is the perfect time to sweep off your wooden deck, roll out the barbeque grill and host a backyard get together. Decks provide all sorts of entertaining opportunities, whether you are hosting a birthday party or just want to spend a quiet evening eating dinner with your family. If you have had your deck for quite some time you may want to perform a simple inspection to see if any type of repair or restoration is needed. Many home owners fail to remember that their deck takes on a great deal of wear and tear from snow filled winters, rainy springs and blistering summers. Bill Engler Painting can easily restore your deck and leave it looking like new.
Do Wood Decks Attract Termites?
Termites cause more damage to homes than any other insect each and every year. Your deck is a prime target for termites to hit, as it provides an ample source of food and shelter, and it makes contact with the ground. Termites have the ability to easily weaken the structural integrity of your deck and if you wait too long or go too long without realizing it, your deck will be beyond repair due to the damage that termites have done. If you notice that your railings are shaking when you grab onto them or that the posts of your deck are looking worn or weak, call Bill Engler Painting today!
How Do I Prepare My Deck for Spring?
Clean. The first step to preparing your deck for spring is to pressure wash it.
Repair. The next step is addressing any issues such as damaged wood planks.
Sand. Sanding the deck is the next step in preparing your deck for warmer spring weather.
Stain. Staining is the last step in preparing your deck for the spring and summer months.
