Caring for your deck.
Mother Nature can take a toll on wooden decks. But, with proper cleaning and maintenance, your deck will last for many years. Here are some step-by-step instructions demonstrating the best way to power wash your deck.
Build a beautiful new deck in hours, not days.

Want to increase the value of your home? Build a deck!
The average return on home improvements is just 60.6%, but you can recoup up to 87 percent of your investment on a new wood deck. "A deck is one of the more cost-effective things you can do," says Robert Markovich, Home and Yard Editor for Consumer Reports. "Decks are really a high-return item."
When selecting wood for your projects, consider #1 Grade Over FAS Grade.
Many hobby or furniture makers buy FAS (First and Seconds) and then cut the boards down into shorter pieces. Unless you need long, clear boards over 8 feet in length for your project, we recommend you take advantage of the price savings and use our #1 common grade for your woodworking projects.
