Signs Your Deck May Need to Be Resurfaced

  • Weathered Appearance:

    If your deck’s surface boards look aged or worn out, but the underlying structure is solid, it’s a good candidate for resurfacing.

    • Splintering Boards:

      Over time, wooden deck boards can splinter, posing a potential safety hazard. Resurfacing can replace these worn-out boards with new ones.

    • Discoloration:

      Stains, fading color, or uneven shades could be a sign your deck needs resurfacing. These can result from exposure to the elements or spills.

    • Cracks in the Boards:

      Small cracks can often be remedied with resurfacing. However, larger cracks may indicate deeper structural issues.

    • Loose Boards or Nails:

             If your deck has loose boards or nails that keep popping up,resurfacing can fix these issues while ensuring a safer and         more stable surface.



    •  

    • Mildew or Mold:



    • If the boards are constantly damp, mildew or mold can develop. Resurfacing can replace these boards with fresh, clean ones.



    •  

    • Peeling or Chipped Paint:



    • If the paint or stain on your deck is peeling, chipping, or flaking off, resurfacing can give it a fresh, clean look.

    • Water Damage:



    • Surface-level water damage, like cupping or warping, can often be fixed with resurfacing. However, if the water damage extends to the structural elements, a full replacement might be necessary.
