Backdeck Beautiful

We didn't have a very harsh winter but still, the effects of the cooler weather and the rainy season would still take its toll on your deck.  The month of May has long been in my mind in addition to the month of flowers (April showers bring May flowers) but also the month of spring cleaning.  Well it's time to take care of that deck.


  1. Sweep leaves and debris
  2. Clean any mold or mildew with soapy water 
  3. Pressure wash the entire deck - you will see an amazing difference
  4. Nail down any loose boards or steps and also those loose nails (I have stubbed many toes that way)
  5. Restain/Reseal - there are a multitude of products out there to freshen you deck


Here's a tip:  We had our house painted last summer.  You know you can negotiate price right?  Well, ask them to throw in staining the deck.  What have you got to lose?
