Exterior wood needs to be treated every 2-3 years depending on exposure to the elements. Here are some easy ways to tell if your deck or fence needs to be maintained.
Does it have a gray tone to it?
Does it have a green film (mold, mildew or algae) on it?
Are there cracks or splits in the wood?
Do you want the natural wood color back?
Do you just want it clean for entertaining?
To help you determine any of these factors, Alternative Home Improvement will gladly provide you with a FREE, No Obligation Estimate.

Before cleaning
ALTERNATIVE is highly knowledgable with the effect Chicago weather has on all types of wood. We specialize in the use of Premium Wood Sealers, Stains and Water Repellents. However, if your deck and fence are not properly maintained, this valuable investment could soon look gray, dull, and start to warp, twist, splinter and crack. Not only is the wood's appearance affected, water damage can compromise the structural integrity of your valuable wood investment. Maintenance is the answer!
