Should You Seal It? Find Deck Builders To Help!

Not sure if your deck needs to be sealed? Performing a simple water test will provide your answer. Sprinkle some water on your deck. If it soaks in immediately, the deck can be sealed. If the water beads up or stands on the deck, your deck may not need sealing yet.

When you are sure the deck is ready for sealing, be sure to sand any rough spots and thoroughly clean the entire deck. Also be sure to check for rotten wood or any nails that need to be addressed before proceeding with the sealing/staining.

If you are still unsure if your deck needs to be sealed, or if you need help with repairs or updates to your deck, you may want to consult your local deck contractor for help.
