What types of repairs do decks and patios typically need?

For wood decks, replacing rotting boards, fixing loose railings, or sanding and refinishing the surface are the most common repairs. Composite decks may also require replacing warped boards and reinforcing the entire structure to ensure it is safe.

Patios, on the other hand, often need crack repairs in concrete, resealing of pavers, or leveling of uneven surfaces to prevent trips and falls. If you have built-in features like seating or a fire pit, masonry repairs might be necessary to fix damaged bricks or stones. A good power wash, stain, or seal can go a long way toward protecting both decks and patios from further weathering.

How often should I re-stain or seal my wood deck?

Most decks will need re-staining or sealing after two or three years. The precise timing depends on the weather in your area, the type of wood, and the quality of the stain or sealant in use. If your deck is exposed to a lot of sun or moisture, it may need more attention.

An easy way to check is by sprinkling water on the surface. If the water absorbs into the wood rather than beading up, it’s time to re-stain or seal your deck.

Is seasonal maintenance required for decks and patios?

Yes, seasonal maintenance is recommended for decks and patios to keep them in great shape year-round. Seasonal checks can also help spot early signs of wear, like loose railings or unstable boards, so small repairs can be addressed before they become bigger problems.

Power washing services remove dirt, grime, and mildew, as well as sanding and resealing wood decks to protect them from the elements. For patios, maintenance might involve resealing pavers, repairing cracks, and addressing any shifting or uneven surfaces.

Do I need to prepare my deck or patio before a power washing service?

Yes, a little preparation before your power washing service will help ensure the best results. Here are some of step you should take prior to power washing your deck and patio:

  • Remove all furniture, plants, and décor from the deck or patio.
  • Sweep the area to clear away any loose dirt or debris.
  • Trim back any nearby bushes or branches to give clear access to the entire surface.

How long does deck and patio construction take?

The time it takes to build a deck or patio varies based on the size of the structure, the design, the materials used, the experience of the labor, and the weather conditions. On average, a standard size deck, which is 19 feet x 19 feet (300 to 400 sq feet), will typically take between one to three weeks to complete by professionals. Smaller decks and patios might only take a professional a few days to complete, while larger, custom design with extra features could take 30 days or longer.
