You probably do not want to hear this, but It may be time to restore your deck if it is starting to look dull and faded. Over time, dirt and debris can settle on your deck, causing it to look less vibrant in color than it did when it was first built. Furthermore, that dirt and grime can be damaging to the wooden planks of your deck, which is why it’s best to hire a deck cleaning professional to keep your deck looking its best.
Power Washing Services
The best way to restore your deck is to have it power washed. Of course, you might be thinking, “I have a power washer, or I can rent one from my local home improvement store. Why wouldn’t I just power wash my own deck?”
The reason you should leave deck power washing up to the professionals is that power washing a deck takes a great deal of precision and experience. You see, power washing a deck isn’t like power washing your home’s brick or the concrete in your driveway. The wood used to build your deck is a naturally porous material, so using too much force when power washing can lead to serious damage, including scratches and gouges in the wood.
When you hire a professional to power wash your deck, you can rest assured that the job will be done properly and your deck will be in good hands throughout the process. And the end result will be a deck that looks cleaner, brighter, and more inviting.
When to Clean a Deck
You should have your deck thoroughly cleaned at least once per year, but you’ll definitely want to have it power washed before you put a new coat of stain or sealant over this (which you should do every few years). Power washing before staining or sealing will help to ensure proper absorption and even coverage.
Overall, the best way to clean your deck thoroughly is to hire a professional for power washing. However, there are some other steps you can take to improve the look of your deck. Feel free to contact us today to find out more about our deck cleaning and restoration products that are easy to use.
