Keep a coastal Alabama deck in shape by clearing debris often, keeping boards dry, checking railings and stairs, watching for wear in the finish and scheduling repairs or re-coating before damage spreads.
Every few weeks
Sweep leaves, pine straw and Spanish moss off the boards
Clear gaps between boards so water can drain
Move planters and rugs so wood underneath can dry
Each season
Check railings, posts and stairs for movement
Look for loose fasteners and rust
Note fading, graying or bare spots in the finish
Before and after storm season
Secure or store loose furniture and decor, then walk the deck afterward and note anything that looks damaged or loose.
When to call a pro
If boards feel soft, railings move or the finish is worn through, look at our deck repair and deck maintenance services.
