        "text": "Maintenance requirements for exterior stairs vary by material. Wood stairs typically need regular cleaning, sealing, or painting every few years to prevent rot, insect damage, and weathering. Composite stairs are generally low-maintenance, requiring only periodic cleaning. Concrete and stone stairs are very durable but may need occasional cleaning and sealing to prevent staining and moss growth.
