1. Paint Stripper

The first step in our process is to apply a chemical to all parts of the deck to gently loosen the existing paint or stain, and enhance the power washing process. This biodegradable compound is safe to be used around your plants, grass and pets.   

 

2. Power Washing

Secondly we use a pressure washer to remove all dirt and grime on the deck's surfaces, as well as to remove most of the old paint/stain.  After pressure washing we wait a minimum of 24 hours depending on the weather to ensure that the wood had reached a moisture content of 12% or less

 

3. Sanding

If necessary, when the wood is dry, we sand the deck boards and handrails to remove any remaining paint or stain, to smooth the rough surface of the wood, and to prevent splinters.  This premium service leaves the wood looking restored and new.  

 

4. Applying the Paint/Stain

Finally we apply your selected stain or paint by hand to the wood.  We are always happy to use the products our clients prefer, however we use Sikkens SRD Stain.  We always apply products with brushes, never with a sprayer: to ensure a long-lasting, even finish.
