Here’s how Chagrin Home Improvements can maintain your deck investment

By Mary Malik

Now more than ever, we are in protection mode. We want to protect ourselves, our families, even our investments. Joe Jacobs, owner of Chagrin Home Improvements, is ready to help protect your home’s outdoor investment with deck cleaning, repair and maintenance.

“Deck maintenance can often be a forgotten chore, but it’s one of the most important,” says Joe. “And proper deck maintenance is a relatively small investment that will save you big costs down the road.”

A deteriorating deck greatly detracts from the value of your home, not to mention it can be dangerous. The trick is to not let it get to that point by maintaining it now so you can enjoy it in the future.

“With the summer in full swing and everyone spending more time at home these days, there’s no better time to clean and stain the deck,” says Joe. “And don’t worry about it being a long, intrusive process. We can usually finish the job in two days, weather cooperating. And from start to finish, the entire process adheres to all social distancing precautions.”

In fact, from your first phone call or email requesting an estimate, to the minute Joe and his crew finish the job and clean up, you never need to directly encounter anyone on the team.

“We will clean and prepare your outdoor living space for your family while practicing the recommended social distancing throughout the entire process,” says Joe. “I first come out and take pictures and measurements, contact you by phone or email with a quote, then schedule your job. It’s a simple process with great results that will protect your deck for two or three years.”

Joe says you don’t need to be on a yearly schedule if you have the job done right. He only recommends rinsing off the dirt so mold doesn’t form. And speaking of having the job done right, Chagrin Home Improvements is a true local business that doesn’t hire subcontractors or temporary help. Joe’s staff members are professionals who do the job with expertise and efficiency.

“My employees are my lifelong friends and we all take great pride in our community,” says Joe. “Some companies do deck work on the side. We specialize in deck work and do the job thoroughly and correctly. It makes a difference.”

Joe says that difference can be found in the dedication of his staff, and in the products Chagrin Home Improvements uses.

“Other companies use lower quality products to save money and it shows in the results,” says Joe. “And as far as the quality of our work is concerned, we take extra steps to mask all surrounding siding and landscaping to protect your home and property while we do our job. We go above and beyond the ordinary to be the best at what we do.”

Chagrin Home Improvements is scheduling deck cleanings through the end of summer and into fall. If you’re already enjoying your deck and don’t want the interruption just yet, give Joe a call now and get on the fall schedule.

“In these uncertain times, one thing we can count on is the comfort and safety of home,” says Joe. “Let us help you make yours the best it can be for you and your family.”
