Is your deck ready for the rest of summer? As part of our Summer Deck Check-Up series here at Johnny's Paint & Stain, we recommend a simple test every Pittsburgh homeowner can do right now: the water-bead test. Just sprinkle a few drops of water onto your wooden deck boards. If the water beads up, your sealer is still doing its job protecting the wood. However, if the water soaks into the wood within 5 minutes, it is time to reseal! Catching this early prevents moisture damage, warping, and costly repairs down the road. If your deck needs professional staining, power washing, or expert care, reach out to Johnny's Paint & Stain today to schedule your service.
