Deck season is here! ☀️
These are just a few of the deck transformations we’ve completed recently, and there’s one thing I’ve noticed on almost every project…
The biggest problem isn’t the stain or the paint, it’s the prep.
Too many decks fail because they’re stained or painted before they’re properly prepped. Every deck is different, but proper prep can include pressure washing, scraping failing coatings, sanding, and allowing the wood to dry before applying a finish. Even the weather plays a huge role in whether a coating succeeds or fails.
A shortcut during prep can cost you the entire job. We’ve seen decks begin peeling and failing in less than a year simply because the prep wasn’t done correctly.
Whether you’re hiring a contractor or doing it yourself, don’t underestimate the importance of preparation.
If you’re planning to tackle your own deck and have questions, send us a message. We’re always happy to help point you in the right direction!
And if you’d rather have it professionally restored, we’d love to earn your business !
