  2. Clean Your Deck Regularly Dirt, leaves, and debris can accumulate on your deck, especially during the rainy season in San Jose. Regular cleaning is essential to prevent mold, mildew, and stains. For wood decks, use a deck cleaner and a stiff brush to remove dirt and grime. For composite decks, a gentle soap solution will do the trick. Cleaning every 2-3 months is ideal, but more frequent cleaning may be necessary if your deck is surrounded by trees or exposed to heavy foot traffic.

  3. Inspect for Damage Check your deck regularly for signs of wear and tear. Look for loose or missing nails, warped boards, splinters, and areas of rotting wood. Promptly repair any damaged parts to prevent further deterioration. San Jose’s sun can cause wood decks to dry out and crack, so it’s especially important to inspect your deck for sun damage. If you spot any issues, contact a professional deck builder for repairs.

  4. Seal or Stain Your Wood Deck Wooden decks need extra care, especially with San Jose's warm climate. Sealing or staining your wood deck helps protect it from the elements. Apply a quality deck stain or sealant every 1-2 years, depending on the exposure to sun and rain. Sealing the deck helps to prevent moisture damage, UV degradation, and the growth of mold and mildew.

  5. Maintain the Hardware The screws, nails, and bolts that hold your deck together can loosen over time. Regularly check all hardware to ensure that everything is tight and secure. Replace any rusted or damaged hardware. San Jose's coastal proximity can cause metal hardware to corrode faster, so using rust- resistant stainless steel or galvanized fasteners is a smart choice for longevity.
