Deck Care, Power Washing, and Pest Prevention


Presented by Noll Team Real Estate

As the days grow longer and temperatures rise, spring is the perfect time to refresh your home and get your outdoor spaces ready for enjoyment. Whether you're planning to entertain on the deck, list your home for sale, or simply enjoy a peaceful spring evening outside, seasonal maintenance is key to preserving your investment and protecting your property.

Here are three essential spring maintenance tasks every homeowner should tackle:

1. Deck Maintenance: Extend the Life of Your Outdoor Space

Winter weather can be tough on decks. Snow, ice, and moisture can cause wear and tear—especially on wood surfaces.

Spring Deck Tips:

  • Inspect for loose boards, splinters, rusted fasteners, or water damage.

  • Clean the surface to remove dirt, pollen, and mildew.

  • Re-stain or reseal wooden decks to protect from UV damage and moisture.

A well-cared-for deck not only adds beauty but also boosts your home’s long-term value.

2. Power Washing: A Quick Win for Curb Appeal

A good power wash can instantly transform your home’s exterior. Driveways, patios, siding, and fencing all benefit from a thorough cleaning this time of year.

Power Washing Benefits:

  • Removes built-up grime, mold, and algae

  • Reduces allergens like pollen and mildew

  • Prepares surfaces for sealing or painting

  • Instantly refreshes curb appeal before listing your home

Bonus tip: Power washing is a must-do before listing your home—it makes a powerful first impression!

3. Pest Control: Keep Unwanted Guests Outside

As temperatures rise, insects and rodents begin to emerge—and spring is their favorite time to find a way inside.

Pest Control Tips:

  • Seal up cracks and entry points around doors, windows, and the foundation.

  • Clear out standing water and debris where bugs love to breed.

  • Use perimeter sprays or call in a pest control pro for preventative treatments.

A little prevention now can save you headaches all summer long.
