As wood ages it will crack. It is natural and there is nothing that can be done to prevent this from happening. We have had some decks that we have treated for 10 years and began treating them after they were built. They still crack. They look new and in great shape however they are still cracked in some areas. You will want to keep an eye out for boards that may be warped boards and rotting boards in the future. When we perform an estimate we do a thorough evaluation of your deck including looking for areas of concern. If we had any that may be out of the ordinary we would have told you at the time of the estimate. I appreciate your concern, when customers ask this questions it always reminds me of a college professor that told me that he does not offer extra credit because he found that the only students that do the extra credit are the ones that already have high marks. I have found similar correlation with customers who ask questions about cracks. Their decks are usually the best maintained. By having your deck cleaned and stained now will preserve it for years to come. Should you have any questions in the future please call or email me and I will come out and look at your concerns.
