Optimal Timing for Deck Maintenance
Proper timing for deck service ensures optimal results and longevity. The best time depends on weather conditions, deck usage, and seasonal factors. Regular maintenance can prevent damage and extend the lifespan of a deck.
Spring is ideal for deck cleaning and sealing after winter weather. It prepares the deck for the warmer months and prevents mold and rot.
Summer is suitable for routine inspections and minor repairs. It allows for enjoying the deck during peak usage months.
Fall is a good time to clean and apply protective treatments before winter. It helps prevent moisture damage and decay.
Winter is generally not recommended for major deck work due to cold and moisture. However, minor inspections can be performed if conditions permit.
