I'm Ready to Have a Summer Party. How do I Get My Deck Ready?
A deck can make all the difference in the overall impression your summer party makes. With a fresh stain or deck repair from the professionals at A1 Handyman, this party will be one for the ages.
May is National Deck Safety Month, and with barbecue season just around the corner, now's the time to take a closer look at where you'll host all your warm-weather gatherings. According to the North American Deck and Railing Association, there's been an increase in the number of decks that have collapsed, fallen apart, or otherwise failed. In most cases, simple upkeep could have prevented these incidents, which tend to happen (no surprise) when decks are packed with people. Make such an inspection an annual affair - it takes a few minutes - and fix any problems before inviting the gang over.
All decks need some new boards once in a while to keep them looking their best. After a few years of exposure to the elements, these boards will start to become prone to water damage and need replacing. Look for severe splintering in the wood or places where it seems extra soft; test the wood with a screwdriver to see how soft it is. Choosing pressure-treated lumber should also help to prevent damage in the future.
