A Spring Home Maintenance Series - Day 5

Day 5: Decks, Patios & Outdoor Living Areas

Our Spring Home Maintenance Series continues by getting your Outdoor Living Areas ready to enjoy including your Decks and Patios.

Spring means spending more time outdoors. Before grilling, entertaining, or relaxing on your deck or patio, take a few minutes to inspect these areas for safety and maintenance issues.

Exposure to moisture and temperature changes during winter can cause wood to warp, fasteners to loosen, and surfaces to become slippery.

Spring Deck Safety Tips

 • Check for loose or rotting boards

• Inspect railings and stairs for stability

• Look for popped nails or screws

• Clean mildew and debris

• Consider resealing or staining wood surfaces
