UglyDeck.com Releases Tactics to Protect and Enjoy Outdoor Decks This Fall

Leave a comment

UglyDeck.com gives homeowners advice on how to protect their outdoor decks and extend their use well into the cooler autumn months.

Burnsville, MN, USA — While it seems natural for customers to enjoy using their decks during the summer months – by grilling, watching sunsets, or having a refreshing drink on a warm afternoon – many think that as the weather gets cooler, they will use their decks less and less. In fact, autumn is a perfect time to do some maintenance to prepare their decks for cooler, rainier weather. Now is the time to think of ways to enjoy your deck throughout the fall as well.

In the summer, decks get used frequently. The decking material gets more wear and tear from the hot sun and extra use. To make sure a deck is prepared for colder temperatures and more moisture, there are a few steps homeowners should take.

One thing to look for are nails popping up above the boards. If that’s the case, consider replacing them with screws instead of just pounding in the nails. A good deck cleaning is also important. Clear away overgrown bushes or tree branches to prevent places for mold to grow, and clear off any leaves and debris to help prevent discolored staining on an outdoor deck. If the deck needs it, cooler temperatures are the ideal time to add a coat or two of sealant as well.

Once any deck repairs are completed, another way to prepare for colder weather is to consider adding an outdoor fire pit or fireplace to the deck area. This is a great way to create a space that will remain comfortable as the temperatures drop. Bringing out cozy blankets and adding garden lights or lanterns can also make the outdoor deck space inviting throughout autumn as well.

UglyDeck.com provides plenty of outdoor deck ideas for making the most of your deck space. The deck builders at UglyDeck.com can help homeowners discover if options like privacy walls, fire pits, and more will work with their existing decks, can help customers with deck refinishing, and provide estimates on deck repair costs.

To get the most out of your deck this season, contact UglyDeck.com today.

Leave a comment

UglyDeck.com has expanded its service territory to include Rochester, Minn., and is proud to announce the addition of Jim Caron to their team to serve this new expansion.

Burnsville, MN, USA (January 31, 2016) — The Minnesota deck builders at UglyDeck.com are excited to announce that they are expanding their services to the Rochester, Minnesota area. Just like the other areas throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin that UglyDeck.com currently serves, this new territory will now have access to all of UglyDeck.com’s services – from building decks to replacing existing decks and railings. UglyDeck.com’s maintenance free decking materials assures customers that they’re receiving high quality decking materials that will stand the test of time, and now Rochester residents will have access to these same materials.

The Rochester division of UglyDeck.com will be led by Jim Caron. Caron has over 20 years of home improvement experience, working as an independent contractor for many years. He has managed everything from large projects with multiple crews to smaller projects, providing quality craftsmanship and excellent customer service for every type of job.

Though his experience and design skills are immensely valuable, Caron also prides himself on his ability to listen to the customer’s needs. “After all, we’re not selling the decks we want to build, we’re helping our customers purchase the ones that fit their design and budget,” says Caron.

This customer-first focus has helped Caron build relationships and a strong client base in and around the Rochester area. Rich W. says, “I had Jim Caron come to my home and give me an estimate on a project…after he looked at my plans, he came up with a better idea which he said would save me a little money. I hired him and was pleasantly surprised when he was done, it came in under his estimate; he also made sure we didn’t have waste around the house when he was completed. I would recommend his work to anyone looking to add value to their home.”

Customers Bob and Wendy also added, “We were referred to Jim by a co-worker. When Jim came out to our house, we were impressed on how well he listened to our ideas and then added his own. Throughout the project, Jim communicated with us and made this a painless experience. We couldn’t be any happier with how our new deck turned out. It totally completes our backyard!”
