Fall Deck Care

As Fall approaches, we at Santa Rosa Deck and Fence Contractor want to remind you that the time has come to check on the outdoor areas around your home.  Your deck, regardless of the material, requires maintenance during the autumn season, including a thorough cleaning.  It’s essential to inspect and care for your deck before the winter weather hits your home.  Here’s a short list of things to take care of before winter.

Clear Your Deck

First of all, cleaning your deck of leaves and debris is essential to your deck health.  Your deck is just another place around your home that leaves will fall.  If leaves and other debris are left to pile up on your deck, then plant matter can get stuck in between the boards and decay.  No one wants to deal with mold or rotting material on their deck.

Trim Branches

Another essential task every deck owner should complete is trimming their trees of long, hovering branches.  No one wants branches from wind or snowfall causing needed repairs.  So make sure to trim any branches that are hanging over your deck. If your deck does need repairs, contact us today for quick, knowledgable service. Contact Us:

Wash and Waterproof

If you have a vinyl or composite deck, then all you need to do it hose off your deck thoroughly and make sure to get off all those stains from the summer. If you have a wood deck, check to see if it is still waterproof as you wash by watching to see if the water beads up or soaks in.  If water doesn’t fead up and roll of, you may want to give your deck another coat of weather treatment.
