Making​ ​Deck​ ​Repairs Maintaining​ ​your​ ​wood​ ​deck​ ​may​ ​also​ ​require​ ​repairing​ ​or​ ​replacing​ ​loose​ ​or​ ​broken​ ​boards​ ​that can​ ​make​ ​your​ ​deck​ ​unsafe​ ​to​ ​walk​ ​on.​ ​Surface​ ​boards​ ​as​ ​well​ ​as​ ​joists​ ​can​ ​rot,​ ​so​ ​inspect​ ​the deck​ ​at​ ​least​ ​once​ ​a​ ​year​ ​for​ ​signs​ ​of​ ​rot.​ ​Even​ ​a​ ​pressure-treated​ ​or​ ​preserved-wood​ ​deck​ ​can suffer​ ​loose​ ​screws​ ​or​ ​boards.​ ​It's​ ​best​ ​to​ ​hire​ ​a​ ​professional​ ​to​ ​replace​ ​any​ ​boards​ ​that​ ​are twisting,​ ​lifting​ ​or​ ​rotted. To​ ​replace​ ​rotted​ ​or​ ​broken​ ​boards,​ ​remove​ ​the​ ​screws​ ​and​ ​use​ ​the​ ​damaged​ ​board​ ​as​ ​a template​ ​to​ ​cut​ ​a​ ​new​ ​board​ ​of​ ​the​ ​same​ ​material.​ ​Once​ ​you​ ​remove​ ​the​ ​rotted​ ​board,​ ​check​ ​the joists​ ​underneath​ ​to​ ​be​ ​sure​ ​they​ ​are​ ​free​ ​of​ ​rot. Contact​ ​a​ ​professional​ ​if​ ​you​ ​see​ ​any​ ​signs​ ​of​ ​rot,​ ​as​ ​this​ ​is​ ​a​ ​bigger​ ​job​ ​and​ ​will​ ​require repairing​ ​or​ ​replacing​ ​the​ ​joists.​ ​If​ ​the​ ​rot​ ​is​ ​localized​ ​to​ ​a​ ​specific​ ​area​ ​of​ ​the​ ​joist,​ ​a​ ​"sister"

board​ ​can​ ​be​ ​attached​ ​to​ ​the​ ​joist​ ​to​ ​support​ ​the​ ​surface​ ​boards​ ​instead​ ​of​ ​replacing​ ​the​ ​entire joist.​ ​A​ ​professional​ ​will​ ​be​ ​able​ ​to​ ​determine​ ​if​ ​this​ ​is​ ​the​ ​best​ ​course​ ​of​ ​repair.​ ​To​ ​replace​ ​the old​ ​board​ ​with​ ​a​ ​new​ ​one,​ ​drill​ ​pilot​ ​holes​ ​into​ ​the​ ​board​ ​where​ ​it​ ​should​ ​attach​ ​to​ ​the​ ​joists,​ ​then screw​ ​in​ ​the​ ​new​ ​board​ ​to​ ​the​ ​joists. Matching​ ​the​ ​Finish​ ​Stain You'll​ ​want​ ​to​ ​match​ ​the​ ​finish​ ​stain​ ​of​ ​the​ ​replaced​ ​board​ ​to​ ​the​ ​existing​ ​boards.​ ​Use​ ​the​ ​same type​ ​of​ ​stain​ ​originally​ ​used​ ​on​ ​the​ ​deck.​ ​You​ ​can​ ​pre-stain​ ​the​ ​board​ ​before​ ​installing​ ​it,​ ​or​ ​you can​ ​stain​ ​it​ ​after​ ​you​ ​replace​ ​it. While​ ​you​ ​may​ ​be​ ​staining​ ​just​ ​the​ ​newly​ ​replaced​ ​deck​ ​board,​ ​Decks.com​ ​advises​ ​that​ ​you stain​ ​your​ ​entire​ ​deck​ ​once​ ​a​ ​year​ ​starting​ ​soon​ ​after​ ​it's​ ​installed.​ ​Some​ ​pressure-treated​ ​wood requires​ ​a​ ​30-​ ​to​ ​90-day​ ​drying-out​ ​period.​ ​Ask​ ​your​ ​installer​ ​how​ ​long​ ​you​ ​should​ ​wait​ ​before staining​ ​your​ ​pressure-treated​ ​wood​ ​deck. Stains​ ​come​ ​in​ ​many​ ​different​ ​colors,​ ​from​ ​light​ ​to​ ​dark.​ ​You​ ​can​ ​match​ ​the​ ​color​ ​of​ ​the​ ​deck​ ​to the​ ​siding​ ​on​ ​your​ ​house​ ​or​ ​use​ ​a​ ​complementary​ ​color​ ​to​ ​the​ ​hue​ ​of​ ​your​ ​home.​ ​Stains​ ​come​ ​in transparent​ ​types​ ​that​ ​allow​ ​the​ ​grain​ ​of​ ​the​ ​wood​ ​to​ ​show​ ​through,​ ​and​ ​there​ ​are semi-transparent​ ​finishes​ ​that​ ​color​ ​the​ ​wood​ ​but​ ​still​ ​allow​ ​the​ ​grain​ ​to​ ​show​ ​through. For​ ​the​ ​most​ ​color,​ ​solid​ ​stains​ ​completely​ ​hide​ ​the​ ​grain​ ​of​ ​the​ ​wood.​ ​Good​ ​choices​ ​come​ ​from Behr​ ​and​ ​Woodsman.​ ​The​ ​choice​ ​is​ ​up​ ​to​ ​you. For​ ​best​ ​results,​ ​you​ ​should​ ​apply​ ​stain​ ​to​ ​a​ ​clean,​ ​dry​ ​deck.​ ​Using​ ​a​ ​synthetic​ ​brush​ ​or​ ​paint roller,​ ​apply​ ​even​ ​strokes​ ​following​ ​the​ ​grain​ ​of​ ​the​ ​wood.​ ​Start​ ​with​ ​the​ ​railing​ ​so​ ​you​ ​can​ ​clean up​ ​any​ ​drips​ ​before​ ​tackling​ ​the​ ​floor​ ​of​ ​the​ ​deck.​ ​Let​ ​the​ ​newly​ ​stained​ ​deck,​ ​or​ ​replaced​ ​board, dry​ ​for​ ​at​ ​least​ ​three​ ​hours​ ​or​ ​more​ ​before​ ​walking​ ​on​ ​it. After​ ​the​ ​deck​ ​is​ ​stained,​ ​you​ ​should​ ​apply​ ​a​ ​topical​ ​sealer,​ ​which​ ​will​ ​help​ ​keep​ ​out​ ​moisture. Some​ ​stains​ ​have​ ​a​ ​built-in​ ​sealer,​ ​allowing​ ​you​ ​to​ ​skip​ ​this​ ​step,​ ​but​ ​ask​ ​at​ ​the​ ​store​ ​which​ ​one is​ ​right​ ​for​ ​your​ ​deck.​ ​You​ ​apply​ ​the​ ​topical​ ​coat​ ​the​ ​same​ ​way​ ​you​ ​would​ ​apply​ ​a​ ​deck​ ​stain using​ ​a​ ​synthetic​ ​brush​ ​or​ ​roller.
