        "text": "It's recommended to have your deck professionally inspected at least once a year, ideally in the spring. Regular inspections can identify potential issues early, such as loose fasteners, wood rot, or compromised structural integrity, before they become significant problems. For decks in high-moisture areas or those exposed to harsh sun, like many in Berkeley or Oakland, more frequent spot checks by the homeowner are advisable, and re-sealing or re-staining every 2-3 years is common.",
