As the weather starts to improve around New England more and more homeowners are starting to migrate outside to use their decks and lawns. It’s important that before you start using your deck this season you make sure that it is safe and secure.
May 2007 has been declared Deck Safety Month, and marks the second year of the North American Deck & Railing Association’s (NADRA) public safety program. As posted on their web site, “According to Mike Beaudry, Executive Vice-President of NADRA. “A simple, annual inspection doesn’t take long or require special tools, but it’s a great investment of your time. It can help prevent unnecessary accidents, and keep your deck a safe place for everyone to enjoy.” “May is a great time to make your deck-check,” Beaudry continues. “In parts of the country where there’s a lot of snow and ice, your deck could have developed a trouble spot over the winter.” Beaudry adds “If you’ve never had your deck professionally inspected, by all means, make that appointment.”
Almar encourages all homeowners to have your deck inspected for safety and comfort issues. When we examine an existing deck we look for and discuss with you the following issues:

Splintering Pressure Treated wood.
Rising nail heads.
Rot issues.
Deck accessories that may be hazardous, such as anything that creates heat (grills, fire pits, etc.)
Upgrading Pressure Treated wood to lower maintenance Composite decking.
