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: Does pressure-treated wood have problems with rot?

• <div><p>Will pressure-treated wood rot? This wood could eventually suffer from rot, although it takes longer compared to untreated wood. Even though the chemicals applied to pressure-treated wood protect it, they eventually dissipate and leave the wood vulnerable. You can delay the appearance of rot in the treated wood by reducing its direct exposure to moisture and by painting it. Using fewer screws or nails in the wood&mdash;and thereby creating fewer holes in it&mdash;also delays the chances of rot forming.</p></div>

Q: Do you need to winterize a screened-in porch?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-winterize-a-screened-in-porch.htm">Winterizing a screened-in porch</a> can help extend its life and prevent damage to your porch, furniture, and decor. Removable winterization methods like vinyl panels or vinyl sheeting will allow you to fully enjoy your porch in warmer weather while protecting it from damage over the winter. </p></div>

Q: Can you fix warped composite decking?

• <div><p>You can&rsquo;t fix warped composite decking boards, but you can replace them so your deck surface is no longer warped. For more severely warped decks, especially those with damaged joists or support beams, you&rsquo;ll need a pro to inspect the deck and recommend whether you should replace the structure or repair the damage. </p></div>

Q: Are there eco-friendly materials available for repairs?

• <div><p>Eco-friendly materials include sustainably-sourced woods, recycled metals, low-VOC paints, and non-toxic sealants, which reduce environmental impact. Using these in repairs promotes sustainability and can improve indoor air quality and overall building health.</p></div>

When Bobby Sisk (owner of the company) did the estimate it was approx. $2,000. This amount went up to almost $4,000 because he said that he didn't include the price of the stairs in the initial estimate. I told him the way I wanted the deck built and he said I wouldn't like that so he built it...
