Your deck or patio is the heart of summer living. It’s where you grill, relax, and gather with family and friends. But like any part of your home, these spaces need care and attention to stay safe, beautiful, and functional.

Start with a thorough inspection. Are there loose boards, popped nails, or soft spots in the wood? These can be tripping hazards or early signs of rot. Handyman On Call can assess the structure and make necessary repairs before issues get worse.

Cleaning is the next step. A power wash can remove mildew, stains, and grime that build up over time. For wood surfaces, this should be followed by sealing or staining to protect against sun, rain, and foot traffic.

Wobbly railings and unstable stairs are common problems, especially in older decks. These aren’t just annoyances: they’re safety concerns. Reinforcing railings or rebuilding damaged stairs can restore confidence and stability.

Consider enhancements too. Built-in seating, planter boxes, or new lighting can make your outdoor space more inviting. We also handle repairs to stone patios, pavers, and concrete walkways that may have shifted or cracked.

Don’t let minor wear and tear limit your enjoyment of the season. With a little help from Handyman On Call, your deck or patio can become the summer retreat you deserve.
