Top 5 Deck Repair Tips for Asheville Homeowners
WNC’s mix of rain, sun, and winter moisture can be tough on outdoor wood. After building and restoring decks from Mills River to Fairview, here are five ways to keep your deck safe and beautiful.
1) Inspect yearly. Look for soft boards, rusted fasteners, and wobbly railings. Early fixes prevent costly rebuilds.
2) Clean and sand before staining. Never seal over mildew or dirt — the finish won’t last.
3) Choose quality finishes. Semi-transparent stains with UV protection hold up best in our climate.
4) Prioritize safety & code. Ledger flashing, rail height, and baluster spacing matter for inspections and insurance.
5) Consider smart upgrades. Composite decking and aluminum rail systems reduce maintenance and extend lifespan.
