Keep your outdoor space safe and beautiful with regular deck maintenance. At Barefoot Construction, we help you protect your “Grounded Sanctuary” from the harsh North Metro climate. Minnesota winters are brutal on exterior surfaces. Therefore, proactive care is essential to prevent rot, fading, and structural failure. We provide expert guidance for homeowners in East Bethel, Ham Lake, and Blaine to ensure their decks last for decades.
Your maintenance routine depends on your material. We recommend cleaning composite decks twice a year with mild soap and a soft brush. This prevents organic growth and maintains the slip-resistant surface. For wood decks, we suggest annual inspections for loose fasteners and signs of moisture. You must seal or stain natural wood every two to three years to block UV rays and snow melt. Our team prioritizes “High-Performance Living” by checking the ledger board and joists for structural integrity. These simple steps keep your home safe and enhance your property value.
We support your long-term home health. Our team provides clear advice on snow removal and the best cleaning products for your specific brand. We prioritize clear communication to help you manage seasonal transitions. Whether you have a new TimberTech deck or an older cedar platform, we help you maintain its beauty. Trust our local experts to guide you through your annual deck care checklist.
