13 things you should never do to your deck

Don’t neglect the condition of the deck

Tighten loose screws and tamp down exposed nails. Regularly check railings to see if they are loose (a safety hazard) and look for any boards that need to be replaced.

Learn how to replace deck floorboards.

Don’t paint the deck

Paint requires primer and is likely to chip or bubble at some point down the road. Stain is a lower maintenance choice and there are colour-tint stains available if you’re looking for options.

This is how to protect your deck during winter.

Bonus: Don’t create extra work for yourself

There’s no need to apply a stain to your deck and then follow up with a sealer. Use an all-in-one product and save yourself the extra time and expense.
