Deck Restoration, Sealing and Staining Cleaning Decks and Wood Restoration Wood restoration is one of the most misunderstood processes. Wood is soft and can be easily damaged with too much water pressure. A lot of factors determine what deck cleaner we will use to restore the wood. Once we choose the correct cleaners, we wash the wood with the right amount of pressure. We then use a neutralizing process to prepare the wood to be sealed. The number one reason a sealer fails is because the wood is not prepared properly. After the wood dries to the proper moisture level, we then apply a contractor grade sealer. Over time the forces of nature cause wooden decks and fences to become weathered and unattractive. This weathering often consists not only of fading or graying from the sun but also of build up of dirt or unsightly molds, mildew or algae that can be slippery and very unsafe.Pressure washing of your exterior wood includes the removal of these elements as well as old sealants and stains or excess surface wax on new wood. This process includes restoring 100% of the visible wood from every angle leaving you with a natural new looking deck or fence that has been restored to its original golden pine color and condition. This also enables protective finishes such as sealers and stains to be properly applied and penetrate the wood properly in order provide maximum protection. Without the application of a sealant or stain your deck or fence is under constant attack from the forces or nature. Harmful rays from the sun cause wood to fade, looking gray and weathered. Moisture from punishing rain and snow, as well as morning dew, is quickly absorbed by unprotected wood causing it to swell. The sun then dries the wood causing it to shrink. These cycles of wet and dry, swelling and shrinking, and temperature extremes promotes growth of mold and mildew and causes wood to warp, split and crack leaving your deck discolored and very unattractive. Left unprotected, any deck will be damaged by these conditions. For this reason protective finishes are strongly recommended for all exterior wood.
