Is Re-Sealing Your Deck Worth the Cost?

Outdoor decks are a valuable addition to any home. If you’re looking to extend the life of your existing deck, plan on cleaning and re-sealing it every 2 to 3 years. The crew at Handyman Connection of Boise has put together a few reasons why you should.

Deck Lasts Longer

Taking proactive measures ensures your deck is protected from the Boise weather, and will make your deck last longer. Decks are exposed 24/7 to elements, so our team highly recommends practicing scheduled cleaning and maintenance.

Maintenance Is Easier

Speaking of maintenance, with regular care of a wood deck, you’ll have less to maintain. Deck sealants come with water and weatherproofing help to protect the deck, but also help prevent wood from expanding, splitting, or rotting more so than without any protection at all.

Cost Effective

Additionally, taking preventative, protective measures will help you save time AND money in the long run. Decks are not the least expensive project around your home, so why not invest a little extra to protect it and make it last at its highest quality for as long as possible? It’s a simple solution that doesn’t take too much time to complete.

Make sure that if you plan to re-seal your deck on your own, you clean the deck’s surface thoroughly beforehand. If you don’t, the sealants might not be as effective.
