In Washington, D.C., something is always going on. Your home is a place where you should enjoy resting and carrying out your daily life without having to worry about anything unnecessary. If you want to be free from as much backyard deck maintenance as possible, Freedom Fence and Deck has a solution for you. We build and service low-maintenance decks in Washington, D.C.

Types of Low-Maintenance Decks

Composite

Composite decks are made of recycled wood and plastic fibers. Some composite decks are capped, meaning they have a protective PVC layer over the composite material. This low-maintenance deck material looks like natural wood and can come in various colors and tones, but it does not require sanding or sealing like wood does. Composite decking is more affordable than PVC decking and can be just as functional and durable. If necessary, reflective coatings and extra traction can be added to the deck surface.

PVC

PVC decks, also known as vinyl decks, are completely made of polyvinyl chloride plastic, which may be recycled. Like composite decks, PVC decks do not require sanding, sealing, or frequent repairs and can last for several decades in great condition. PVC decking can come in various solid colors, such as white, brown, tan, gray, and red. You can also customize your PVC deck to feature more than one color.

How to Maintain Low-Maintenance Decks

In the past, decking companies might have touted composite and vinyl decking as maintenance-free products. However, no deck is truly maintenance-free. Thankfully, taking care of your composite or PVC deck is easy. Here are a few ways you can keep it in great shape for a long time:

• Sweep the deck: Keep fall leaves, pollen, and other debris off the deck.
• Protect the deck: If you use a grill or fire pit on your deck, you can protect it from soot and burns with fireproof mats.
• Clean the deck: Hosing down the deck is a simple way to clean it. You can also use a pressure washer or a stiff-bristled broom and a cleaning solution.
• Inspect the deck: It doesn’t hurt to inspect the deck once a year or after severe weather to check for damages.
• Repair the deck: Small repairs may need fixing over time. Prompt repairs prevent major catastrophes down the road.
