Deck Staining, Deck Restoration
|
Once your deck is completed, proper cleaning and prep should be done to allow for staining and sealing. A drying out period is a good idea but the sealing should happen within a few months. Once you have stained your deck don't forget to maintain the condition with Ongoing Care
As time goes on, mold, mildew, and dirt build up on your deck and other wood surfaces as sealants gradually wear away, and rotting can become a problem. A light cleaning is all that is needed every couple oof years with a new sealant/stain coat and with regular maintenance your deck can last for decades. We have developed our exclusive deck and fence revitalization process including the best stain sealer available to bring the life back into the wood, giving your wood surfaces that 'new again' look. |
Surface Sanding
Before we start sanding, we carefully go over the condition of the deck. We replace rotten and damaged wood surface material or joists or posts if we can see through to them. Finally we ensure that the screws are all countersunk
When we sand the old surfaces, we determine how heavy the finish is applied. Normal sanding for 'stained only' decks is usually all that is required. For refinishing old solid stain, or even painted decks, requires a much more vigorous approach.
Here we see surface sanding on the second pass with smoother sandpaper to allow wood fibers to tighten up. This was to allow the proper colour profile requested by the customer.

Staining Sealing
Staining is a tedious process in order to fill in cracks and edges. Rolling may start the process and this is followed by brushing. Stain must be applied in total strips or areas to maintain a smooth even finish.
When a deck is elevated, the entire ground must be covered as drips can be a permanent problem. Our stains can be lighter or darker once the stain colour has been selected. We fins the darker colours are best darkened for the desired finish. We do testing for you to approve.
With our system, the first Cutek sealing and stain treatment uses a fair amount of product. However, each time it is applied over the years, less stain is used because there is actually a build up of protection within the wood. Consequently less time is taken to refinish
