When is the best time for deck resurfacing in Georgia?
Average lows near Georgia stay above freezing almost all year, so construction can run nearly year-round; the most comfortable months for staining and sealing wood are March–May and September–November.
The coldest month is January (average low 33°F) and the hottest is July (average high 89°F). July is typically the wettest month, with about 4.7 inches of precipitation — plan finish work around it. Use the winter months to settle the design and apply for permits, so footings can go in as soon as the ground allows.
