A well-maintained deck can easily last 20+ years — and only needs consistent care throughout the seasons.
Here’s a simple year-round maintenance guide to protect your outdoor investment and keep it looking new.

🌷 Spring

Wash away dirt, pollen, and winter grime
Inspect for loose boards or nails
Apply a light sealant if needed

☀️ Summer

Sweep regularly to prevent debris buildup
Move furniture occasionally to avoid fading spots
Re-stain or reseal if color looks dull

🍂 Fall

Clean gutters and sweep off leaves
Check for water pooling near the base of your deck
Tighten railings and inspect steps before winter

❄️ Winter

Avoid salt-based ice melt on wood
Shovel snow along the grain to prevent scratches
Keep the deck free of standing water or ice

Final Tip

Regular maintenance means you’ll save money long-term and prevent costly structural repairs.
A clean, sealed deck not only looks beautiful but also protects your home’s value.
