Q&A
What causes wooden decks to rot and warp so quickly in Colorado's climate?
Colorado's dramatic weather is the main culprit. Intense summer sun dries out the wood, causing cracks and warping, while winter snow and freeze-thaw cycles trap moisture, leading to rot and fungal growth. Over time, this combination weakens the wood, making decks unsafe. Mike's Contractor Services can inspect your deck for these issues and recommend repair or replacement to keep your outdoor space sturdy and safe.
What are the early signs that my deck needs repair or replacement?
Look for loose or wobbly railings, spongy or soft spots on the deck boards, visible rot near ground contact points, and nails or screws that are popping up. If you see large cracks or splinters, that's a sign the wood is drying out. In Colorado's climate, catching these issues early can save you money. Mike's Contractor Services offers thorough inspections and can handle everything from replacing a few boards to a full deck replacement.
How can pressure washing help extend the life of my deck in Colorado?
Pressure washing removes the dirt, mildew, and algae that thrive in Colorado's variable weather. This build-up traps moisture against the wood, accelerating rot and decay. By giving your deck a thorough cleaning once a year, you remove that damaging layer and can spot problems early. Mike's Contractor Services uses professional-grade pressure washers to clean your deck without damaging the wood, and we can follow up with sealing to protect against future weather damage.
