Why Now’s the Perfect Time to Tackle Repairs
Summer in Greater Vancouver is the perfect season to enjoy your outdoor spaces — but it’s also when wear and tear on fences and decks really starts to show.
If your deck boards are warped, your stairs feel wobbly, or your fence has seen better days, now’s the time to fix it before BBQ season is in full swing.
🔨 Common Summer Repair Needs:
1. Warped or Rotten Deck BoardsMoisture from spring rains followed by summer sun can cause boards to split, swell, or decay. Replacing damaged sections early prevents bigger issues later — and keeps your deck safe.
2. Loose Railings & Wobbly StepsUnstable railings and stairs aren’t just annoying — they’re dangerous. Securing or replacing key supports gives your whole deck a longer life (and peace of mind).
3. Fence Leaning or Falling ApartWood fences can crack, lean, or even collapse after winter storms. Summer is ideal for fixing individual panels or full sections while the wood is dry and accessible.
🛠️ Why Summer is Ideal for Repairs:
Materials cure and seal better in dry, warm weather
Easier scheduling with longer daylight hours
Preventative repairs now = fewer costly surprises later
