Decks can look pricey without breaking the bank. Handybeeman shares cost-saving tricks to repair or expand your deck affordably.
Budget-Friendly Deck Tips
Expand Smart
Want a bigger deck? Skip retail—hit up a local reuse center for discounted or free materials. Lightly used wood, once refinished, delivers big value.
Stain for a Facelift
A faded deck? A fresh stain or sealant transforms it cheap and fast. Pair it with a pro power wash from Handybeeman for a stunning before-and-after.
Add Built-In Seating
Wooden benches built into the deck refresh its style. Match the wood type and stain to the existing setup—or let Handybeeman craft them for you.
Fixing Worn Deck Benches
Can beat-up benches be saved? Yes—here’s how to decide between repair or replacement.
Assess the Damage
If benches just need restaining, keep the boards. Warped or rotted? Test with a screwdriver—soft, crumbly wood means replace. Spotty rot? Patch with wood filler.
Gather Supplies
For repairs or new benches, match the deck’s wood and stain. Measure twice before shopping, and seal with quality stain to fend off future rot. Bring a sample to the store for a perfect match.
