Before you winterize your deck or do any deck repairs, you should first assess the issue. Walk around your deck and sprinkle water on various spots, then watch what occurs. If water penetrates the boards, it is time to reseal your deck. If the water creates a puddle or beads up, it means your deck is resisting water and will be safe for another winter.
WINTERIZING YOUR DECK TIPS
Depending on the results of your deck assessment, implement all or any of the following winterizing tips:
Always clean your deck before the arrival of winter. Mike provides power washing services.
If your deck is just damaged in a few places, simply sand it down and paint/stain those areas.
If the bulk of the deck has been damaged, it may be time to remove the old finish and reapply a fresh coat.
If your deck is made of unfinished wood and no longer repels water, it's time to reseal it using a water resistant sealant.
