        "text": "Maintenance for a newly expanded deck depends heavily on the materials chosen. Wood decks typically require regular cleaning, sealing, or staining every 1-3 years to protect against weathering and rot. Composite decks, while lower maintenance, still benefit from occasional cleaning with soap and water to prevent mold and mildew buildup. Consistent maintenance helps prolong the life and appearance of your deck, regardless of material.",
