At the start of summer, the North American Deck and Railing Association reminds homeowners to Check Your Deck®
The United States is home to roughly 60 million residential decks, and of those it’s estimated that half need to be replaced or repaired. In the wake of several serious deck collapses, The North American Deck and Railing Association reminds consumers to Check Your Deck ® using resources such as the 10-Point Consumer Checklist. NADRA also offers industry professionals and inspectors a breadth of resources, including a comprehensive toolkit, marketing materials, and a deck evaluation form. “It’s crucial for homeowners to verify the integrity of their deck to ensure user safety as well as help extend the deck’s lifespan, improve appearance, and increase livability,” says Michael Beaudry, Executive Vice President of NADRA. “We’re proud to offer an array of tools to help consumers check their decks as well as connect with building professionals with the know-how to identify and remedy potential problems.”
