Thanks for visiting Deck Plus Plus, LLC
online. As wood restoration experts, our mission is to
provide you with all the information you’ll need before you
make the smart decision to restore a neglected deck (or
other wood surface) or to preserve and maintain the deck
investment at your home.
The beautiful exterior wood around your house – whether it’s
on a deck, on siding, or other external surfaces – is a part
of the aesthetic environment you’ve created to make your
home, well, homey. A deck is where friends and family gather
and where memories are made – the place where kids/grandkids
roll around on tricycles, where friends gather to relax, and
where celebrations happen.
If you’ve ever had a deck built or have had siding work done
on your house, you also know how costly it can be.
Protecting that investment is vital. Maybe you’ve had to let
your deck go for a few years; we all have to budget and to
set priorities about how we spend money. If you’ve put off
some required maintenance, there’s good news: it’s not too
late. As exterior wood experts, we’re able to restore the
beauty of dark, dirty, splintery decks and other
long-neglected exterior wood surfaces.
If you recognize that it’s time for some maintenance work to
keep your deck looking great, we salute you for being a
smart and prudent consumer. After all, a small investment
now to maintain your deck can protect you from much greater
expenditures down the road. Most of all, you can ensure that
you continue to enjoy decades of happy memories on your
deck.
At Deck Plus Plus, we are expert craftsmen who are dedicated
to restoring, refinishing, and preserving wood -- including

YOUR WOOD MIGHT BE AT RISK
Fact: Exterior wood needs protection
from the ravages of moisture and other weather conditions.
Why: Weather wreaks havoc on outdoor
wood surfaces, which must be protected immediately.
Untreated wood absorbs dew, rain, and melting snow and ice.
This softens the wood and makes it swell. The sun’s heat
then causes wood to dry out and contract. This constant
cycle of swelling and shrinking causes cracking, splitting,
and warping – which dramatically decreases the life of the
wood, resulting in expensive repair work. The sun’s
ultraviolet rays can also gray wood surfaces, and persistent
moisture is a breeding ground for mold, algae, and other
fungi which stain wood as they spread across its surface.
Poorly maintained wood is also an attractive food source for
termites and other wood-boring insects.
ENVIRONMENTAL COST OF POOR DECK MAINTENANCE
About 3 million new decks are
built in the U.S. each year, and an additional 3 million
must be replaced or repaired due to poor maintenance. It
takes an entire acre of forest land to produce enough wood
to construct a mere two to three decks. That means that in a
ten year period about six million trees could be saved if
homeowners took a few simple steps to protect their decks.
With a little preventative maintenance and care, you can
save lots of money, help your deck last several decades, and
protect a vital resource – our nation’s rapidly dwindling
forestlands. |
