Most wood decks here need restaining every 1 to 3 years depending on sun exposure, foot traffic, and the stain quality used. Freeze-thaw cycling and hot humid summers both accelerate wear compared to milder climates.
How do I know if my deck needs repair or a full rebuild?
It comes down to the structure, not just the surface. If footings, ledger board, and main framing are sound, board replacement and refinishing can extend the deck's life significantly. If the structure itself has failed, rebuilding is usually the safer and more cost-effective call.
