Keep It Standing Strong: Deck & Fence Maintenance Tips from JCJ Residential Services

Your deck and fence are more than just outdoor features, they're hardworking parts of your home. They provide safety, privacy, and the perfect place for summer BBQs or a quiet morning coffee. But like anything exposed to Manitoba’s weather, they need a little TLC to stay safe, strong, and good-looking.

At JCJ Residential Services, we help homeowners tackle the little things that make a big difference—including deck and fence maintenance that protects your investment and boosts curb appeal.

Why Maintenance Matters

Wood and weather don’t always get along. Without regular care, decks and fences can crack, rot, warp, or grow mold, turning a small fix into a big (and costly) repair. Regular maintenance helps:

• Extend the life of wood or composite materials

• Prevent splinters, loose boards, and wobbly railings

• Keep your yard looking well-kept and inviting

• Maintain safety for kids, pets, and guests
