Cold weather is fast approaching. Don’t leave your home’s deck out in the cold! Did you know that if you don’t take proper steps to protect your deck, it can suffer serious damage? In addition to pressure washing, there are other measures you can take to keep your deck in great shape. Pressure Pros of the Carolinas has a few tips to get your deck ready for the colder months ahead.

  • Inspect your deck – Walk around your deck and give it a good inspection. If you see signs of damage, like rotting wood, make sure to get it fixed now. Problems with your deck will only grow worse when the weather turns colder.
  • Look at the landscape – Next, take some time to check the surrounding landscape. Now’s a good time to trim back overhanging branches, as they can fall under the weight of snow and ice and damage your deck.
  • Spruce it up – Most importantly, get your deck cleaned by pressure washing it. Not only will this improve the overall look of your deck, but it can help put a stop to mildew, grime, and mold growth. All these moisture problems will become more problematic in winter.
