Restoring the Luster of your Deck – A Few Tips to Follow
A deck faces whatever the weather Gods throw at it, from rain and snow
to scorching temperatures in summer. This is why you must inspect your deck at
regular intervals to ensure that its structural integrity is not compromised in
any way.
One of the issues to which you should pay close attention is whether the
stain is holding up and repelling water. If not, and if it is left like that,
the wood will start to warp and rot, making the deck unsafe for use. For any such
signs, immediately contact reputed deck restoration companies in your area
to take up repair and restoration to breathe new life into the deck.
What is the process followed by deck restoration companies?
·
Before
starting work, the weather forecast will be evaluated. Staining does not hold
well on wet and moist wood and tends to crack and peel. The stain should be
applied when the weather is expected to be dry for a few days.

Deck
restoration companies will first
sand the splintered areas and the surface where signs of wear and tear are
clear. A sander will be used that will create a smooth surface. A pressure
washer will be used to clear the dirt and grime. The deck will be left to dry
for a couple of days.
·
The next
step is to apply the stain which should match the type of wood. If you have a
solid stain, deck restoration companies will not use a clear or
semi-transparent stain over it. A solid stain though can be applied over all
types of stains.
After the stain has dried out, the deck restoration process is
complete.
