Find out how to save yourself the cost of a deck replacement with Chagrin Home Improvements
By Mary Malik
If you don’t like the weather in Cleveland, just wait five minutes and it will change.
That saying has definitely applied to this winter. We’ve seen temperatures plunge into the teens then soar into the 50s the very next day. This roller coaster weather can really do a number on your deck. Joe Jacobs, owner of Chagrin Home Improvements, knows the damage Cleveland winters can do to your outdoor living spaces and says that now is the time to get them in shape.
“The weather has sure been fluctuating this winter, but soon the temperatures will go up and stay there,” says Joe. “And when they do, you’ll want your deck to be ready for you. No company does the job like me and my crew. Call now to get on the schedule.”
Joe says that neglect is enemy number one of your deck, but with proper maintenance you can enjoy it for years—and it’s never too early to start. Chagrin Home Improvements will assess your deck’s condition, make any necessary repairs, then clean and prepare it for staining and sealing.
Joe will come out to your home and look at your deck, and you don’t even need to be there. He takes photos and measurements, then gets back to you with a written quote and you’re on your way to a like-new outdoor living space. And don’t forget to ask Joe about pressure washing for any additional outdoor spaces.
“It’s usually a two-day job unless the weather doesn’t cooperate,” says Joe. “Often people think their deck is beyond repair and they need to replace it. Only about five percent of the time is that necessary. We can almost always repair it and spare you the cost of replacement.”
Chagrin Home Improvements is a hometown business. Joe and every one of his crew members grew up in Chagrin Falls and live there now.
“This is a true local business and we take great pride in our community,” says Joe. “My employees are either family or lifelong friends. We never use subcontractors or hire temporary help. Staining decks, docks, and fences is our specialty. If you hire us, you can rest assured that you’re getting true professionals who do the job with expertise and efficiency.”
The job begins on day one with any minor repairs and a thorough pressure wash. The deck is then allowed to dry before staining is done on day two.
“It’s a very efficient process,” says Joe. “It’s just me and two staff members working on your deck. Don’t worry about being home when the work is being done. My crew arrives on time and gets to work. Our customers appreciate our efficiency and the clean and thorough job we do for them. And they really love the way their deck looks when we’re done.”
Joe says your Chagrin Home Improvements deck restoration should hold up for two or three years.
“You don’t need to be on a yearly schedule if you have it done right. Every two or three years should be fine,” says Joe. “We only recommend rinsing off the dirt so mold doesn’t form.”
Now is the time to give Joe a call and get on the schedule. Barbecue weather will be here in the next five minutes.
