A few tips to keep your deck looking great

Allow us to share the following suggestions about some of the things you can do to keep your deck well-maintained and looking great.

1. Undertake regular deck maintenance

Rain or high winds can damage your deck, but you also need to be on the lookout for many other factors which could cause problems, including bugs, leaks and neglect. When you are aware of these issues, it allows you to take care of them before becoming a huge problem.


The first thing you should do is to check for any signs of rot or mildew. Usually, these appear on the surface of wooden decks and may not always be visible. If you cannot spot these issues on your own, get in touch with our professional deck repairers at Toowoomba Handyman Company, who can ensure the problem is fixed for you right away.

2. Clean your deck regularly

Another way to ensure that it does not deteriorate quickly, resulting in requiring repairs faster, is to make sure you clean your deck regularly. Its longevity can also depend on what method is used to clean the deck.


Remember that when simply sweeping your deck, you should always use a soft broom. When undertaking your regular deck clean, it is best not to use anything too harsh, such as a high-powered pressure washer to remove the dirt or using heavy-duty bleach. This action could damage the planks that make up the deck and is something that you should avoid doing. Low-pressure cleaning, on the other hand, is one of the safest ways to clean your deck.


Regular cleaning is essential to remember if you want to ensure your outdoor area remains in its best condition. When doing this, it's best to wear old clothing and shoes, as washing the deck incorporates a lot of water. It's also a better idea to leave the deck cleaning until a day when there is not much wind, as it makes it easier for the water to settle into the cracks.


The friendly deck repair team at Toowoomba Handyman Company are happy to offer advice about cleaning. Call us today if there are questions you'd like to ask.

3. How to protect the deck from pests

The deck area is also a favourite hangout for insects and other pests to crawl around on. They will not only leave behind signs of their presence, but they can damage your outdoor furniture items too. The good news is that insecticides are readily available in the stores that will work well to repel them.


It is advisable that after application, you try to avoid getting the deck area wet for around 24 hours so that the insect repellents do not wash away with rainwater. For more information on how to repel pests from your deck area, contact us and have a chat. Our friendly staff are always happy to answer any questions you may have.

GOT A QUESTION ABOUT OUR DECK REPAIR SERVICES?

Frequently asked questions 

Questions we often get asked...

  • What is the life expectancy of a wood deck?

    A deck made of untreated wood can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years. Decks made of treated wood and composite materials can last as long as 50 years.

  • Can you pressure wash stain off a deck?

    Pressure washing is a quick way to remove a deck finish, but it requires some care not to damage the deck. A pressure setting of 1500 psi should be strong enough to clean away deck stain. Hold the sprayer about 8 centimetres off the surface and move the sprayer as you work in the same direction as the grain.

  • Does staining a deck make it last longer?

    Paint generally comes out as the more durable and colourfast finish, lasting ten years or longer before re-application. Stain finishes on decks are more short-lived, lasting from one to eight years before requiring re-application. Our recommendation however is the modern oils and timber preservation products from Sikens. Oiling a deck is much more preferable than staining as some stain products can flake and peel with age and often require sanding to remove before re-application.

  • What forms of payment do you accept?

    We can accept cash, cheque, online bank transfer (EFT), Visa and Mastercard.

  • Does a deck add value to a home?

    The addition of a wooden deck costs an average of $13,000, and the average resale value of it is a little more than $10,000 - $20,000, meaning homeowners could recoup a minimum of about 75% of the cost once it's time to sell the home. Adding a deck to your home may seem like a significant expense, but it's often worth it for re-sale benefits.

  • What is a good size for a deck?

    The average size of a deck should range between 90 and 120 square metres. Larger decks could be constructed with multi-level designs and bigger square meterage depending on the space available. Generally, a deck should be as wide as possible, and the longer side should be proportionate to the house.

  • What happens if you stain over stain?

    Leave the original stain in place if you want to stain the deck a darker colour. If you're going from a light stain to a darker colour, there's no need to strip away the existing stain first. However, keep in mind that the existing stain may alter the colour of the finished product. The main thing to keep in mind however is the condition of the existing stain on the surface now. If the stain is flaking or in poor condition, you'll need to have this sanded or stripped back first. An application of decking oil or stain is only as good as the substrate it is applied to.

  • Should I pressure wash my deck?

    A pressure washer can clean a wood deck much faster than you can scrub it by hand. That is a terrific advantage. However, a pressure washer will frequently destroy the surface of the wood. Decking boards that are not eroded could be dislodged, leaving the wood fuzzy or rough after drying.
