Why bother to keep your deck stained?

There are several reasons why we think your deck is worth some care and maintenance:

• A deck is a rather valuable investment. Much of the value of the house derives from the outdoor living space offered by your deck. Replacing it would cost a fortune and take a lot of time. Much cheaper to keep it up.
• In the countryside, half the pleasure of being on the deck is enjoying a glass of wine with friends in the evening or a cup of coffee in the morning among the trees and views. We all want to be around healthy wood in good repair.      
• The safety of your family is important. Ignored wood dries out, handrails become wobbly, nails pop up, and the wood starts to splinter. Best not to neglect it for safety reasons.
• It is environmentally friendly to maximize the life of all that lovely redwood which was sustainably grown, transported, milled, fitted and installed.

All in all, it makes sense to take care of your deck.
