DECK CLEANING & RESTORATION

Constant exposure to sun, rain, and foot traffic takes its toll. That tired, grayed-out wood covered in mold and mildew isn't just an eyesore; it's literally rotting from the outside in. Our comprehensive deck restoration service goes far beyond basic cleaning—we strip away years of damage, restore the wood's natural beauty, and seal in lasting protection that keeps your deck looking stunning and protected.

Cleaning & Restoring Your Deck

Why Is Professional Deck Restoration Essential?

• Stop Wood Decay in Its Tracks: That black and green growth covering your deck isn't just dirt—it's mold, mildew, and algae actively breaking down the wood fibers. Without intervention, this organic assault leads to splintering, warping, and structural failure. We eliminate these threats completely, halting deterioration and preserving your deck's integrity.
  
  
• Prevent Splintering & Safety Hazards: Weathered, untreated wood becomes rough and fibrous, creating painful splinters that make your deck unsafe for bare feet. Our restoration process smooths the wood surface and our protective sealant keeps it that way, ensuring a safe, comfortable surface for your family.
  
  
• Restore Natural Beauty & Value: UV damage and moisture turn once-beautiful wood into a lifeless gray shell. We reverse years of weathering, bringing back the wood's rich, natural color and grain—dramatically enhancing your home's outdoor aesthetic and overall property value.
  
  
• Extend Your Deck's Lifespan: Regular professional maintenance can double or even triple your deck's usable life. Our complete restoration and sealing service provides a protective barrier against moisture, UV rays, and organic growth, potentially saving you tens of thousands in premature replacement costs.

Cleaning & Restoring Your Deck



1. Thorough Pre-Inspection & Preparation

We begin with a detailed assessment of your deck's condition, identifying problem areas, loose boards, and any needed repairs. We protect surrounding landscaping, siding, and outdoor fixtures, and clear the deck of furniture and planters.

2. Deep-Clean Mold & Mildew Elimination

Using professional-grade, wood-safe cleaning solutions, we apply specialized treatments that penetrate deep into the wood grain to kill mold, mildew, and algae at the cellular level. This isn't surface cleaning—we're eliminating the root cause of decay and discoloration.

3. Controlled Pressure Washing

We carefully pressure wash the deck using precisely calibrated pressure appropriate for your wood type. This removes the dead organic matter, embedded dirt, old failing stain, and the damaged gray surface layer without gouging or "fuzzing" the wood—a common mistake with DIY cleaning.

4. Brightening & pH Neutralization

After cleaning, we apply a professional wood brightener that neutralizes the wood's pH, opens the grain, and restores the natural warm tones to the wood. This critical step removes tannin stains, evens out coloration, and prepares the surface to optimally accept stain and sealer.

5. Drying Period & Surface Preparation

We allow adequate drying time (typically 48-72 hours depending on weather) to ensure the wood reaches optimal moisture content. We then perform light sanding on handrails and high-contact areas if needed, removing any remaining rough fibers.

6. Premium Staining Application

We apply your choice of premium penetrating stain or semi-transparent finish that enhances the wood's natural beauty while providing UV protection and rich, lasting color. Our application technique ensures even coverage, proper penetration, and no lap marks or drips.
