If your deck appears dull, a thorough cleaning can make a difference. However, for optimal restoration, sealing is essential. Over time, exposure to UV rays and moisture can lead to fading, cracking, splitting, and warping of neglected decks. Proper maintenance not only enhances the appearance but also prolongs its lifespan. As this is a multi-day endeavor with waiting periods between cleaning and sealing, it requires careful planning. You can do this by yourself, but using AC Painting's professional deck staining services will make life much easier for you.
