Regular Care Adds Years. Protect Your Deck.
Deck maintenance keeps your deck sealed, safe and looking new through a yearly cycle of cleaning, re-sealing and small repairs. San Diego sun, salt air and foot traffic grey and split unsealed wood within 1 to 2 years, so we time each visit to how your deck ages outside, not a one-off wash.
A deck lasts as long as the care behind it. Timely re-sealing, tight corrosion-resistant hardware and quick board swaps separate a deck that lasts 25 years from one that fails in 10. With 15+ years and a certified crew, we service wood, composite and IPE hardwood decks and back every visit with a lifetime workmanship warranty.

Deck Materials We Maintain
Each decking material needs its own upkeep, from yearly oiling to a simple wash. This table compares wood, composite and PVC decks on durability, maintenance and price.
| Material | Look | Durability | Maintenance | Price tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pressure-Treated Wood | Classic, paintable | Good | High (seal yearly) | Budget |
| Redwood / Cedar | Warm, natural grain | Very good | Medium | Standard |
| Composite (Trex / TimberTech) | Wood-look, many colors | Excellent | Very low | Standard |
| PVC (Azek) | Modern, uniform | Excellent | Lowest | Premium |
| IPE Hardwood | Rich, dense, luxe | Outstanding | Medium (oil) | Premium |
Lowest maintenance: composite and PVC like Trex, TimberTech and AZEK need only a yearly wash. Highest payoff from care: redwood, cedar and IPE hardwood, which need re-oiling or re-sealing every 1 to 2 years. Our plans set the right schedule for your boards.

Deck Maintenance Questions, Answered
How often should a deck be maintained?+
Clean and re-seal a wood deck every 1 to 2 years and inspect it every year. San Diego sun and coastal air wear finishes fast, while composite and PVC decks mainly need a yearly wash. Our plans keep you on that schedule automatically.
What is in a deck maintenance plan?+
A plan covers an annual safety inspection, deep cleaning, re-sealing or re-staining, hardware tightening and minor repairs. Repairs include swapping a rotted board or securing a wobbly railing during the visit.
How much does deck maintenance cost?+
Deck maintenance runs $200 to $600 per year based on deck size, material and condition. A one-time clean-and-seal visit falls in the same range, and annual plans lock in a lower rate.
Do you re-seal and re-stain decks?+
Yes. We clean, brighten and re-seal or re-stain wood decks with premium products matched to your boards. On a recurring schedule the finish never wears down to bare wood.
Can maintenance extend deck life?+
Yes. A maintained wood deck lasts 50 to 100 percent longer than a neglected one. Sealing keeps moisture out, and catching a loose fastener or early rot prevents bigger structural failures.
Do you maintain composite and PVC decks too?+
Yes. Composite and PVC don't need sealing, but they still benefit from an annual cleaning to remove mildew and grime and an inspection of the framing, fasteners and railings underneath.
