There’s still time to protect your deck before winter with Chagrin Home Improvements
By Mary Malik
Summer is winding down, but before you turn your attention to indoor projects, did you get around to cleaning, protecting and preserving your deck? There’s still time to get on the list at Chagrin Home Improvements for a deck cleaning, staining and sealing—without subjecting this valuable outdoor space to the harsh winter conditions that are sure to do damage.
“Our early fall schedule is filling fast, but we can still get your deck protected for winter,” says owner Joe Jacobs. “It’s a quick one or two day project that will allow you to enjoy your deck well into the fall without the worry of the winter months ahead doing more damage.”
That’s the problem with Northeast Ohio. The temperature fluctuations and snow- and ice-filled winters wreak havoc on our outdoor spaces. The good news is that with regular service, your deck can remain in like-new condition for years. But neglecting this space can have disastrous results and cost you money down the road to repair or even replace the deck.
“Don’t let a peeling, fading and deteriorating deck not only detract from the beauty of your home, but also cost you a lot of money in the future,” says Joe. “If you let the job go until next spring, you may be looking at costly repairs or a replacement instead of a basic cleaning and staining job. It’s an easy, quick and affordable fix that will last a couple years when done properly, and that’s just what my crew will do.”
Joe’s crew will first make minor repairs like replacing rotting boards, tightening loose railings and replacing nails and screws. Then comes a thorough cleaning process to remove dirt, peeling paint and mold. Chagrin Home Improvements uses the best products available for cleaning and staining and they also take the extra time to protect the surrounding areas of your deck before they even start the job. Things like covering your landscaping and masking the exposed areas of the house that could be damaged by the power washing process or the stain application is very important to the finished product.
“Reputation is everything in this business and we take that very seriously,” says Joe. “My employees are some of my lifelong friends and family members. I don’t use subcontractors or hire people just for the summer. Some companies do deck work in addition to sealcoating, windows and other things. You’re never sure who is showing up at your home. When you hire us, you’re getting true professionals, trained to do the job with expertise and efficiency.”
Deck cleaning, repair and restoration aren’t things that Joe and his crew do on a part-time basis, or in addition to other jobs like so many other companies that offer deck maintenance.
“We are all full-time employees and many of us grew up here. Together we are dedicated to building this small business in this great community,” says Joe. “Our reputation is built on the quality of our work and that means everything to us. We want to do the job for you now and we want you to call us the next time. We take great pride in what we do and guarantee your satisfaction.”
Give Joe a call, get on the schedule for a deck cleaning and stain, and relax this winter knowing your deck will be protected and ready to enjoy again next spring.
