Q: Is it better to clear the snow from my deck, or should I let it melt on its own?
A: Generally speaking, our decks are designed to be enjoyed year round. We encourage clients to clear the snow from their decks – even though it’s a pain.
Reasons to clear the snow:
- If you need to gain access to the area.
- If it is posing a dangerous situation.
Reasons NOT to clear the snow:
- The shovel can scrape the finish off the existing wood.
- Surfaces that are deeply checked could also be damaged in the act of shoveling.
