4 Signs You Need Deck Resurfacing
1.
Cracked or splintering boards - When it comes to your deck's stability, a defect in any one spot
can lead to an unbalanced deck and problems later down the line. If you're
seeing splinters or cracks in your deck's wooden boards then give
our deck resurfacing professionals a call.
2.
Paint that's flaking or peeling - You can repaint your deck all you want, but if your deck wasn't properly
cleaned before painting then the paint might not stick as well as you'd think.
3.
Visible rot - Always be sure to inspect your deck for rot, mold, or mildew. Always
make sure to check where your columns touch the floor of the deck and
if the rot is substantial enough you may need a new deck.
4.
It's faded or discolored - This fading or discoloration is natural over time as the weather, foot
traffic, and cleaning solutions can degrade your wood and bring about
this off-putting discoloration.
What Are the Benefits of Deck Resurfacing?
Resurfacing your deck offers many advantages, as it can make your deck
look and feel brand new again by restoring its vitality and beauty. Damage
to your deck surface can happen for many reasons—from weather and
natural elements, or simply due to aging.
When the surface has worn thin, it can be slippery and very dangerous to
walk on. Below, our
San Luis Obispo deck contractors share some of the benefits that resurfacing can offer.
Some of these added benefits include:
- Provides protection from slipping or tripping
- Reflects heat, making it more comfortable to walk barefoot
- Offers a customized design based on your personal preference
-
You have the ability to choose the type of material (e.g.,
tile, stone, brick, concrete, etc.)
- Adds longevity to your deck for years to come
Can You Lay New Decking Over Old Decking?
After identifying the telltale signs a deck needs resurfacing, many homeowners
may wonder if new decking can be laid over old decking. The short answer is yes.
New decking can be placed over existing wood decking. There are a couple
of things to keep in mind, however. It’s important to make sure
the existing deck surface isn’t rotting and in need of replacement
as well as the age of the deck material.
Why is this important? If the existing deck surface is old and rotting
it can directly affect the lifespan of the new material. Be sure to have
the experts at DechTech, Inc. inspect the condition of your existing deck
surface today!
How to Make Your Roof Deck Last Longer
Examining and monitoring the quality of your roof deck is a key component
of being a homeowner. Properly maintaining your roof deck will help you
avoid problems in the future, which can result in time-consuming and costly repairs.
Here are a few tips on how to lengthen the lifespan of your roof deck:
Routine Inspections
Performing regular maintenance checks on your roof deck allows you to spot
potential problem areas; by monitoring its quality, you have the opportunity
to take a proactive approach to fix any issues.
When giving your roof a look, be sure to inspect any damaged spots. If
you live in a stormy area, be sure to check the quality of your roof deck
after any severe weather conditions.
Beware of Nearby Tree Branches
If you notice any tree branches growing close to your roof, be sure to
trim them back. A simple gust of wind can cause tree branches to run back
and forth along the top of your deck, which can scratch and abrade away
the surface of your roof deck. Climbing vines, such as roses, should be
monitored for the same reason.
Clean Up Debris
Any debris that you notice accumulating on your roof deck should be gently
cleaned up and removed. It’s recommended that you use a leaf blower
or a soft bristle broom to remove dirt and leaves.
The acidity formed as the leaves and dirt rot can impact the lifespan of
the roof deck on which it rests, and it can be difficult to inspect a
roof with a layer of leaves covering the surface.
