Spring Home Maintenance Tips
Check your deck for weaknesses- If you have a deck, look for water stains, mold, moss, warped boards, loose nails, or any other signs of weakness. Left alone, small problems like these can significantly impact the structural integrity of your deck, even leading to potential collapse. Pressure washing and staining your deck are excellent preventative measures.
