Deck and Fence Care for East Tennessee Outdoor Living Spaces
Outdoor living spaces are a big part of enjoying life in East Tennessee.
Decks, fences, and railings see sun, rain, foot traffic, and more—often without much attention until they start to look tired or feel unsafe.
Thoughtful, regular care helps your wood and composite structures stay beautiful and functional for years.
Common issues with decks and fences:
Mold, mildew, and algae making boards slick and discolored
UV exposure causing fading, cracking, and drying of boards
Loose fasteners, splinters, and wobbly railings developing over time
Benefits of regular cleaning and inspection:
Restores a cleaner, more inviting surface for everyday use and gatherings
Helps identify soft spots, rot, or damage before major repairs are needed
Extends the life of coatings, stains, and protective finishes
A cleaned and well-maintained deck or fence isn’t just nicer to look at—it’s more comfortable and safer to walk on and lean against.
Even simple steps like a periodic wash and quick hardware check can make a noticeable difference in how your space looks and feels.
Knox Exterior Care Co. can help you evaluate your outdoor spaces and determine the right level of care, from basic cleaning to more detailed inspections.
That way, you can spend less time worrying about deck boards and more time actually enjoying your backyard.
