PRESSURE WASHING OR SANDING? THE BEST WAY TO PREP YOUR DECK

By Julie Achtermeier

A deck should be cleaned and treated every couple of years to protect it from exposure to the weather, and ongoing wear and tear. While some experts vote for pressure washing and others vote for sanding, most agree that a combination of both is typically in order. Consider the condition as well as the type of wood your deck is made from to determine which method to use.

ASSESS THE WOOD’S CONDITION Wood that is splintering or extremely rough should be sanded first to smooth out cracks and damaged areas. Areas showing signs of mould, moss or other vegetation can be treated with a deck cleaner or soap and water, as recommended by The Environmental Working Group. If you do opt for a commercial cleaner, look for a green solution that is non-toxic to surrounding plants and animals.

Use a stiff bristled brush working along the natural grain of the wood to loosen debris.

Once the debris has been removed, and rough spots sanded, use a pressure washer to rinse.

Decks that are in good condition except for a bit of fading can be pressure washed first, followed with a light sanding, once the wood has completely dried, to remove any raised grain caused by the washer. Experts recommend using the “fan” setting and keep the wand moving so as not to damage the wood grain or create ripples on the surface of your deck.

CONSIDER THE TYPE OF WOOD A popular wood used for decks is cedar, which is very soft. When sanding or pressure washing, tackle the job lightly so as not to create a fuzz on the surface of the cedar. Use a low-pressure setting on the washer and sand carefully with

lower grit sandpaper. It is not recommended you pressure wash pressure treated wood as it releases arsenic into the water and will contaminate anything the spray lands on. Sanding a pressure treated deck can also be dangerous as the dust contains arsenic, so it is recommended you use a sander with a vacuum or use a shop vac next to the sander to capture the dust – and don’t forget to wear a mask! Pressure treated wood should not require much sanding so limit the task of removing dangerous splinters or rough edges only.

Once your deck is prepped and ready to go, choose a reputable stain and purchase a good quality stain brush. The general rule of thumb is the thicker the stain, the better the protection, according to Mike Holmes, Canadian builder/contractor and host of several TV series, including Holmes Inspection and Holmes on Homes. Avoid clear coats which offer no protection at all and translucent or semi-transparent stains are thin and require more frequent reapplications. If it’s a natural look you’re after, use a solid stain or paint on the high traffic areas and a thinner option on railings.

NEED A NEW ROOF?

NEED A NEW THE LOW-DOWN ON METAL VS ASPHALT

By Julie Achtermeier

The roof is the most critical surface in your home, and choosing a lasting solution can be a daunting task. With the varying weather conditions in Canada, a roof is under regular assault from the sun, snow, and rain. A leaky roof during the winter can be a costly and inconvenient repair so ensure you choose a reliable solution when it’s time to replace your shingles.

Many experts have opposing views on whether to buy metal or asphalt shingles but much depends on your budget and how long you plan to stay in your home. A roof is an important necessity yet consumers don’t receive the immediate reward of spending all that money, like buying a new couch or renovating a kitchen. But peace of mind is worth a great deal as well, especially if your area gets hit with an ice storm or high winds which could rip shingles off your roof and force a costly repair bill.

PROS AND CONS OF ASPHALT SHINGLES Asphalt is a proven solution that many builders are familiar with and a costeffective option for new builds. When it comes time to replace your shingles, consider the age of the home, how long you plan to live there and your budget.

If you plan to move in 10-20 years, asphalt roofs are often the preferred choice because of their reasonable cost and ease of installation – most roofs can be replaced in one or two days.

Asphalt is also easier to repair, so if you are at the receiving end of a windstorm or freak weather event and require replacement shingles, repairs can be reasonable and quick. As far as longevity goes, most asphalt shingles come with a 20- to 30-year guarantee. There are more styles and colour options available so you can stick with a basic offering to save costs or give your roof a new look if you prefer.

On the downside, asphalt is susceptible to severe weather and does not hold up well to high winds or hail. In areas where there is snow cover for long periods, asphalt can succumb to moss, mildew and algae if there is not enough exposure to sunlight.

Asphalt is also extremely heavy, weighing in at approximately 90 kilograms (200 pounds) per square and disposal of used shingles means a great deal of material ending up in landfill sites. Recently, in Canada, recycling has become a growing practice with several companies offering to recycle building materials including asphalt shingles. In Canada, approximately 1.25 million tonnes per year of asphalt-based roofing waste is generated. Many roofing contractors are introducing sustainable solutions into their business model and have adopted recycling practices as their form of disposal. Instead of dropping off the shingles at the landfill, the shingles can be dropped off to a recycling facility to be ground up and used within the community to improve roads.

PROS AND CONS OF METAL ROOFS The draw to metal roofs is primarily for longevity as many metal manufacturers offer warranties of 50 years. For homeowners planning to retire where they are currently residing, or those who plan to keep a property in the family, metal roofs may well be worth the investment. Metal roofs also offer exceptional protection against extreme weather events. They provide excellent wind resistance, are fireproof and superior at preventing leaks. Metal roofs are also more energy efficient since metal reflects heat and helps keep homes cooler in the summer months. Most products contain recycled content and are themselves recyclable.

Critics would argue that metal roofs are prone to expanding and contracting with extreme temperatures which makes them less watertight but proper installation can help eliminate this effect. After many years on the market, metal roofs have improved considerably and most products today are made with alloys and specialized resin paints that can handle extreme temperatures and precipitation without issue.

While some skeptics suggest metal costs several times more than asphalt, the average cost of a metal roof in Canada in 2018 was roughly double that of asphalt.

Asphalt prices vary considerably based on the type of metal – steel, aluminum or zinc or copper finishes, and labour costs. Whatever your choice in roofing, be sure to do your research and hire a reputable contractor. https://canadianmetalroofing.ca/metal-roofing-prices/ https://www.builderonline.com/products/pros-and-cons-asphalt-shingles-vs-metal-roofing_o
