Don’t wait until your deck boards rot!
Check out these two pictures. On the left, a deck that was left too long without sealing (gray and weathered). On the right, the same kind of deck after we sealed it. Same wood, totally different future.
Sun, rain, and Minnesota freeze-thaw cycles break wood down fast. Water soaks into unsealed boards, freezes, expands, and cracks them from the inside. Once the rot sets in, sealing won’t fix it. The boards have to be replaced.
Some fun facts:
- Unsealed wood can soak up water within minutes of a rainstorm
- UV rays are what turn your deck gray and make the wood brittle
- Replacing deck boards can cost many times more than sealing your deck on schedule
- Most decks should be sealed every 2-3 years, depending on the product and how much sun and weather they get
At DK Pro Painting, we cleaned the deck, let it dry, and applied sealant to protect the wood from water and UV damage. It’s a small job now that saves you a big bill later.
