How to Protect Your Deck in Winter
As the cold weather rolls in, homeowners prepare their landscapes and yards for the winter chill. Likewise, prepping your home's exterior, including your deck, will help keep it in top-notch condition and protect it from damage.
Here are a few helpful tips on protecting your deck from winter weather this year.
Before Winter
· Clear the Clutter. Remove everything you can from the deck and planters that can leave wood discolorations on your patio furniture. Then, sweep the deck to clear all the debris from the surface.
· Give it a Good Scrub. Debris left on your deck surface will cause deterioration. Wash the deck surface well to remove mildew from your deck before winter. Many products are on the market to help you clear all the debris from the deck's surface.
· Take a Closer Look. Inspect your deck on the top and bottom of the boards to look for places where moisture could pool and weaken the material.
· Seal it Up. Apply a water-repellant seal to fill cracks and coat your deck's surface to protect against moisture and ice. Filling those cracks is especially important, as ice formation can worsen them. Sealing or staining your deck should be done every 2-3 years.
During Winter
· Sweep, Don't Shovel. We suggest removing snow as it accumulates. A broom is the best way to protect the wood as you remove the snow. For heavy snow that requires a shovel, move the shovel in the same direction as the board to avoid scratching the deck's finish. Always use a plastic shovel on your deck.
· Do Not Salt. Do not use salt or any other ice-melting products on your deck. The calcium chloride or rock salt used in these products can damage the finish or cause discoloration.
· Cover with a Tarp. Some homeowners like to place a tarp over the deck's surface to create an added barrier from the elements. This is only an option for some homeowners, especially if you like to grill on your deck in winter or have a hot tub. If you use a tarp, secure it well to prevent it from blowing away.
A Final Thought
If you still need to build a deck or are looking to refurbish your current deck, consider composite decking for your project. Composite decking is more resilient than wood and requires less maintenance.
At Dain's Lumber, we believe that one's deck is an extension of their home. That's why we have put so much time into curating a wide selection of decking and railing types from many impressive, top-rated brands and manufacturers. With over 40 styles and colors featured on our 2,500 sq. ft. outdoor deck display and living area, you can see each in the outdoor elements.
We also offer an extensive line of deck stains and accessories to refurbish existing decks and an experienced staff to help you choose the right products for your project. So you can be sure that no matter what decking or railing type and the specific product you choose, you'll be getting quality, innovative materials that will last for years to come – years of enjoying that extension of your home.

Moulding: Accent Your Space!
Look no further for the picture-perfect way to spruce up any wall, ceiling, or door in your house - moulding. The graceful curves, refined lines, and polished wood add luxurious details to any space. A room without moulding is a room unfinished. Enjoy the finer experiences of life by adding this framework.
Understanding the types and materials is imperative when looking for the proper moulding to bolster appeal. After reading this comprehensive list, visit Dain’s Lumber for professional installation.
Types of Moulding
Chair Rail
The chair rail sits just under the middle distinction of your wall, roughly three to four feet up from the floor. The horizontal piece of wood was named after its original purpose: to protect the walls from chair backs. Today, with bigger rooms and differing styles, the trim mainly acts as an ornament to the room. Chair rails are typically seen in dining rooms or any space where chairs sit close to the walls.
Baseboards
Baseboards are the perfect introduction to essential trim as the most common type of moulding found in homes. They range from narrow to wide, with the 6-inch baseboard regularly displayed in many old houses. Baseboard trims act as defining lines and hide gaps between the floor and wall. These can be installed anywhere and are great for design continuity.
Crown Moulding
Maybe the most recognizable moulding for its name and look, crown moulding is placed where the wall meets the ceiling. The moulding is placed at a 45-degree angle, perfect for hiding any imperfections at the top of your walls. Mainly living and dining rooms are the home to crown mouldings, though any room can sport the aesthetic. This seems to be the favorite of kings and queens, as the crown moulding adorns many palaces worldwide.
Quality Moulding
Since 1848, Dain’s Lumber has served the Peekskill, New York, neighborhood. With the family contribution and pure grit, we remain one of the oldest retail lumberyards in the country. The enterprise has grown through five generations and will someday be passed on to the sixth. Yet, through it all, our goal stays the same: to promote impeccable craftsmanship, thoughtful advice, and irreplaceable service.
Our moulding is par none and elegant in design. You can choose from a variety of factors, including types and materials. Our popular styles include ceiling crowns, door casings, and wall panel mouldings. Whether looking for a classic base moulding or ornate chair rail, Dain’s Lumber can meet your moulding needs.
