Now is a great time to take an early spring walk outside and see what needs to be done to keep your deck in great shape for the summer season. According to the North American Deck & Railing Association Consumer Safety Checklist, here are a few specific things to look for:

  • Look at your wood – are there split, checked or rotted pieces of wood? They’ll need to be replaced.
  • Loose or corroded fasteners like screws and nails will need to be addressed.
  • Railings and banisters need to be secure – try pushing on yours to make sure of this.
  • Dirt and grime from dead leaves and other winter debris can become a safety hazard if not cleaned up, especially as they can cause mildew and will become slippery if wet.
