For Your Deck, Looks Are Important

When you make the decision to add a deck to your home, you probably want something that is study, high-quality, and last but not least, beautiful. Unfortunately, some deck construction companies are skilled at putting up a deck, but they're not skilled at making it look good.

That's one way Paradise Decking differs from the rest.

The two owners of Paradise Decking both hold Art degrees. They place an importance on the visual appearance of your deck that is passed over by many other builders. Your deck should not just be an addition to your home -- it should be an extension of it, and no company can pull it off like Paradise Decking.

Winter Deck Enjoyment

With the official start of Winter coming up soon, you might be lamenting the fact that you won't be able to use your deck as much. Sitting out on the deck can be quite a relaxing activity, and provides you with a way to surround yourself with the outdoors as you take in a good book, or listen to some music.

Fortunately, there is a way for you to continue enjoying your deck well into the winter months -- by building an enclosed deck. An enclosed deck can provide you with large windows, mimicking the effect of sitting outdoors while still being able to control the temperature of the space. You'll still get the look and feel of being outdoors in the warmer seasons, without the chill of actually sitting in the winter air.

Winter Deck Preparation

Winter is only a month away, and if your deck isn't prepared to defend itself against the cold weather and the snow, it could lose some of its luster or, worse, become damaged. By taking action now, you can potentially save yourself repair costs and keep your deck looking fabulous when spring rolls around.

 Clean the Deck

This is an easy one. Remove everything from the deck (chairs, toys, the grill if you have one) and scrub away any dirt, fungus, mildew or stains that are present. If you have access to a pressure washer, these do a fantastic job at cleaning up a deck.


Strip Away Old Stain

If there are spots of old or worn out stain on your deck, or if the whole deck is in need of a restaining, strip away any of the old stain.

Apply New Stain

Add a nice coat of new stain to your deck. This not only helps your deck look good again, it also adds some protection.

Apply Sealant

Allow the stain to dry, and then seal the deck up with a water-repellant sealant. This helps protect the deck from all of the snow and ice that will come its way during the winter.
