Decks / June 16, 2022
For many families, the deck is the center of activity in the spring, summer and fall for gatherings, outdoor meals and relaxation time. After you invest in a deck build, it’s important to maintain your deck so it lasts a long time. One key part of deck maintenance is a thorough cleaning with a pressure washing machine and the right cleaning supplies. Instead of doing it yourself, work with a pro in deck repair services in Winnipeg, Handyman Connection, to take care of your deck cleaning. Here’s why it’s best to hire someone for this job.
Each year, your deck may take a beating from the area’s tumultuous weather. With heavy snowstorms, ice, fluctuating temperatures, spring downpours, thunderstorms and summer heat and humidity, your deck has seen it all.
That’s why it’s so vital to take the time to invest in yearly deck maintenance. A new deck installation can cost thousands of dollars, so to protect your current deck and keep it from deteriorating, you need to maintain it. Experts recommend that decks be pressure washed once a year to remove the grime and debris from animals, weather and the elements. Additionally, a pro deck contractor can inspect your deck and recommend any needed repairs.
Although it may be tempting to rent a pressure washer and try to DIY the deck cleaning, you’ll get much better results if you hire someone. Pressure washing a wooden or composite surface like a deck requires a specific setting, not too powerful, and skill from the operator.
Additionally, a deck pro will know which professional cleaning products will work best to remove the grime from your deck. Homeowners may not have these cleaning products available to them. A deck pro with experience can make your deck look almost brand new again.
Having a professional clean your deck also helps prevent any additional damage to the wood or composite pieces. While pressure washing looks like it’s pretty straightforward and easy, some homeowners may get a little too enthusiastic with these machines and end up damaging their deck.
A professional deck cleaner will know the exact settings and techniques to use with your specific deck specifications and material so damage can be avoided. Professionals can also avoid damaging any adjacent areas to the deck, such as your patio, garden, shrubbery, siding or backyard.
The best reason to hire someone to clean your deck is so that you can relax and enjoy doing something else instead of this tedious and time-consuming task. Most homeowners have a long list of home projects to get done. This project can be taken off and delegated to someone else so you can spend more time doing what you want.
A pressure washing job could potentially take you an entire day to complete, even more, if your deck is larger and has more stubborn stains. Additionally, you need to consider the extra time you would need to find a rental pressure washer, cleaning products and other supplies at the local home improvement store.
If your deck is more than a decade old, falling apart or unsightly, it may be time for a new deck. Handyman Connection can also provide deck installation in Winnipeg if you need to start fresh with a new deck. Then, we can come out every year to repair and clean the surface so you and your family can enjoy it for a long time.
