Chagrin Home Improvements can prepare your deck now for optimal seasonal enjoyment

By Mary Malik

The weather roller coaster in Northeast Ohio will soon be coming to an end. Don’t you want to be ready to get out on your deck and stay there for a while when the temperatures finally warm up and stay there? Do yourself, and your deck, a favor by getting it ready for family and friends with a deck cleaning and staining from Joe Jacobs and his crew at Chagrin Home Improvements.

“After 10 years in business, we are becoming a household name in the area for our two dedicated home improvement jobs, cabinet painting in the indoor months and deck maintenance in the outdoor months,” says Joe. “We focus on these two areas in order to laser focus on our processes and be the very best at what we do.”

Joe and his crew are ready to head outdoors to service your deck with a cleaning, repair and staining job that will last.

“As a small local business, we’ve made it our priority to serve our customers while maintaining the highest-quality standards they have come to expect from us,” says Joe. “Our experienced crew is ready to hit the ground running this spring. We’re all stocked up on the highest quality stains and equipment, and our crew, all full-time employees made up of family and friends, are highly skilled tradesman who arrive on time, prepared and ready to do the job.”

These are all the reasons that have made Chagrin Home Improvements a successful local business, one that people have come to rely on and trust in an and around their homes. Joe doesn’t hire seasonal help. His crew is well trained and prepared for the job.

The process is very simple. Just give Chagrin Home Improvements a call and a crew member will come out to your home for a deck inspection, take photos and get back to you with a written quote. The very efficient job usually takes two days, depending on the weather, and don’t worry about being home for any of it. Go about your day and come home to your restored, like-new deck.

“Your beautiful deck should hold up for two or three years with minimal maintenance,” says Joe. “A deck is really an extension of your living space in the summer months, not to mention adding value to your home. But the winter freeze and thaw cycles in Northeast Ohio wreak havoc on the surface and can cause mold, cracking, peeling and warping. Proper maintenance allows you to enjoy it for years to come and even avoid replacement costs.”

Joe and his crew first clean the deck thoroughly, getting rid of dirt and mold buildup to avoid sealing over it. The wood must be clean. Small repairs like replacing rotten wood pieces and securing raised screws and nails are made if necessary.

“Once your deck is cleaned and sealed, we recommend rinsing it off regularly to help with mold and mildew buildup,” says Joe. “Then every year or two, a professional cleaning process will protect it from rotting, warping and other issues that will cost you down the road. Your deck can last decades if it’s maintained the right way.”
