Westchester Decks and Fences Face Real Weather
Westchester wood takes a beating from Midwest weather. Here's what we know about local outdoor wood.
Sun exposure
Westchester summers can bake decks. UV damage causes wood to gray and crack. Penetrating stain with UV blockers is essential.
Moisture and snow
Winter snow and spring rain soak into wood. Without proper sealing, boards rot from the inside out. We use sealer that repels water.
Pressure-treated wood
Many Westchester decks are pressure-treated. That wood needs to dry before staining. We check moisture levels before applying stain.
If your Westchester deck was built before 2004, the wood may have been treated with arsenic-based preservatives. We handle old treated wood carefully.
