Our 4 Step Maintenance Package Includes:
Inspect and Prepare the Deck
As part of your deck maintenance, we inspect your deck every year or two. Check especially for any loose boards or protruding nails that need repair. Clear the deck of any furniture or toys and cover all fragile plants. Next, we sweep the deck of larger debris. Before beginning the cleaning process, and make sure no children have access to the area.
Clean the Deck
We thoroughly clean the deck of all dirt and build-up. Debris clogging the spaces between deck boards are blasted out with a power washer. Products with a base of non-chlorine bleach base or oxalic acid are used to eliminate discoloration and stains. Bleach-based products eliminate mildew, while acid-based materials handle graying and stains.
Paint or Stain the Deck
Though some people choose to paint their decks with deck paint, most take advantage of the natural beauty of expensive decking woods by using a clear or lightly stained finish for their deck. If you do choose to paint, we use a stain-blocking oil or alkyd primer first. In general, the best finishes are those that soak into the wood, not those that provide a surface film. Your associate can help you choose the best product for your deck.
