What maintenance does a wood deck need?

• <div><p>A wood deck needs an annual cleaning, plus refinishing every two to three years, which involves <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-sand-deck.htm">sanding the deck</a> and applying stain or sealer. If you have a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-paint-deck.htm">painted deck</a>, you’ll need to repaint it every 10 years. You should also fix and repair loose or broken deck boards, nails, and screws. Cleaning your deck regularly and applying sealant protects the wood from the elements, water damage, rot, mildew, and fading from the sun.</p></div>

Q: What safety improvements do professionals make during repairs?

• <div><p>Professionals enhance safety by addressing structural issues, securing loose components, and using non-toxic materials. They ensure compliance with building codes and conduct thorough inspections to identify potential hazards. Their expertise minimizes risks, making the home safer during and after repairs.</p></div>

Q: How do professionals address drainage issues on decks or porches?

• <div><p>By correcting grading issues and ensuring water is directed away, preventing future damage.</p></div>

Q: Are under-deck drainage systems worth the cost?

• <div><p>If you want to use the space beneath your second-story deck, then yes, an under-deck drainage system is worth it. Having a drainage system in place lets you run power to the area, so you can install a ceiling fan, lighting, TV, or other appliances to create a comfortable outdoor living space.</p></div>

Q: How long do porticos last?

• <div><p>Porticos last 25 to 60 years, depending on the material used. A portico&rsquo;s roof typically matches the roof of the rest of the home and can be replaced simultaneously. Portico columns have a similar life span if properly maintained and regularly sealed. In some areas, harsh weather and extreme temperatures may cause a portico to wear more quickly.</p></div>

Wow….love their products, love their gifts. Sadly was fired from lawn care and bed maintenance for supposedly not returning my paperwork in 2022. As a person unable to physically perform this work it was disappointing to call and be told this rather than any call or follow up from Greenview
