Summer Prep Series: Deck Projects to Transform Your Outdoor Living

Next up in our Summer Prep Series—let’s talk decks. Whether you're working with a well-loved structure that needs a refresh or dreaming of building a brand-new space, your deck is the centerpiece of summer entertaining.

Why Your Deck Deserves Attention
Decks take a beating from the elements year-round. Giving them some TLC now ensures safety, longevity, and a polished look that makes your whole yard feel like an extension of your home.

Deck Refresh Options
- **Pressure Washing** – Strip away months (or years) of grime to reveal the beauty underneath.
- **Staining or Sealing** – Protect your deck from UV rays and moisture while enhancing its natural color.
- **Board Replacement** – Got splinters or warped boards? We can replace damaged planks and reinforce the structure.
- **Painting** – Looking for a bold change? Painted decks offer a dramatic, modern vibe.

Thinking About a New Deck?
If your existing setup is beyond repair—or you just want a layout that fits your lifestyle better—it might be time to build new. Consider:
- Multi-level designs
- Built-in seating
- Pergolas or shade covers
- Composite decking for low-maintenance appeal

Materials That Work in the Inland Northwest
We recommend pressure-treated lumber or composite materials that resist moisture and insects. Want a rustic feel? Cedar is a classic, beautiful choice.

DIY or Call in the Pros?
Cleaning and staining might be a weekend project for a DIYer. But rebuilding or structural changes? Leave that to Mr. Clean Fix LLC—we’ve got the tools, experience, and know-how to build it right.
