Deck Services
Did you know that pressure treated wood is not weatherproofed wood? The pressure treating process involves an injection of chemicals into the wood to protect it against rot and termites. In fact, this process makes the wood surface more porous and even more susceptible to moisture damage.
Did you know that rain, melting snow and morning dew are quickly absorbed by unprotected wood causing it to soften and swell? Then the sun’s heat causes drying, which makes the wood shrink. These cycles of wet and dry, swelling and shrinking cause wood to warp, split and crack – all of which lead to premature wood life and expensive repairs.
Did you know that by incorrectly using high-pressured water you could splinter and possibly destroy the top surface of your deck?
Specifications for Deck Cleaning and Sealing
- First, we apply our environmentally safe biodegradable cleaning detergent over the entire deck. This allows the mold, mildew, algae and other growths to release from the surface at the roots.
- Next, we lower the pressure on the washer and clean all 4 sides of every picket and post, to insure a thorough cleaning from top to bottom.
- Then, we clean all surfaces with our commercial surface cleaner. This brings new life back into all the surfaces and makes your deck look new again.
- Finally, we wait for the deck to dry completely and then apply our Wood Preservative over the entire deck, covering all upper horizontal and vertical surfaces. This coating will prevent wood rot, repel water, absorb ultraviolet rays, inhibit mildew and maintain color retention. See Our Deck Colors Here
