DECK SERVICES

Deck Cleaning & Sealing 

All jobs start by using proper cleaning procedures. We will remove all items (plants, pots, tables, chairs, etc.) from the deck.
Most older decks have been sealed before. As a result, the surface of the wood usually has a layer of old sealer, dirt, mildew and mold directly below the sealer layer of wood. We will  by spraying an enviornmentally-safe, biodegradable stripping agent on the wood.
Once the deck is saturated with a stripping agent, we will power wash the deck, including railings and sides.

After the cleaning process is finished, we apply an oxalic-based wood brightener. This brightener neutrualizes oxidations tannic acid in the wood. 
 Once the deck is dry, the sealing process begins. The wood is sprayed with Ready Seal, an oil-based penetrating sealer. Normally, the first applicaton will penetrate 1/8 to 1/4 inch into the wood. As the deck ages, the sealer will be pulled down into the wood.

Resealing is recommended every 10 - 15 months after the previous seal. After the third year, you can go to sealing every other year.

Every three or four years, deck owners re-stain and seal their decks to protect the wood from the moisture that otherwise leads to an expensive reconstruction project. Next to power washing, staining is also the best, fastest way to improve the look of your deck. Unfortunately, it’s easy for homeowners to damage their decks with pressure washers, to stain over already-rotted wood, and to apply the stain before a deck is sufficiently dry.
