Tips & Tricks

The winter season is coming to a close. This means that people around the United States will soon be enjoying the warm weather of spring. A spacious deck is an essential home addition for individuals who love entertaining outdoors. Millions of homes around the United States have a deck attached to them. If your deck is a few years old, you may start to notice it has lost the luster it once had. 

While no deck lasts forever, there are many things you can do to extend the life of your deck and restore the appeal it has lost. Are you on a mission to make your old deck look new again? If so, check out the great tips in this article. 

Invest in a Professional Deep Clean

Structures located outdoors tend to get covered with dirt. In most cases, this will be a gradual process. However, if you start to notice that the wood your deck is made from is covered in a thick layer of dirt and grime, you need to take action. Not only will this dirt and grime reduce the curb appeal your deck has, it can also damage the wood. 

One of the best ways to remove these elements from your deck is by hiring professionals to perform a deep clean. Some professionals use high water pressure levels to remove the dirt from a deck. This can lead to the wood getting damaged, which is why you need to insist on soft washing. 

A soft washing is performed with low water pressure. This approach to cleaning allows for the dirt, mold and mildew to be removed from a deck without damage being done. At WNC Wash Pro’s, we will work hard to get your deck clean. Once we are done, your deck will have a like-new shine. 

Put a Shade Structure Over Your Deck

Uncovered decks are exposed to the sun for multiple hours a day. This constant sun exposure can give your deck a faded look. Instead of leaving your deck exposed, you need to invest in a shade structure. This structure can come in the form of a roof or a retractable awning. 

With the addition of a shade structure, you can protect your deck and make spending time outside more enjoyable. Having shade to sit under on a hot day will help you beat the heat while enjoying the beauty of nature. 

Rethink Your Deck Furniture Options

High-quality outdoor furniture can make a deck more comfortable and appealing. If the outdoor furniture on your deck has been there for a few years, it may start to look faded. Older outdoor furniture also has a higher risk of getting damaged. This is why you need to think about updating your outdoor furniture options if you want to make your old deck look new again. 

If you are adamant about restoring the luster your older deck has lost, then you need to implement the tips in this article.
