A deck is a great addition to your entertainment space. It may increase the value of your property if designer and maintained, but most importantly, it serves as a social gathering place for friends and family. Being exposed to the elements, a deck may suffer from severe weather that may damage the wood. A deck that is neglected may develop problems including mildew, cracks, raised grain, and may become a safety concern. There are many measures that can be taken to protect the decking surface and provide many years of use.
Cleaning a deck on a regular basis is very important using a bio-degradable detergent, applied with a long handled nylon brush is the recommended cleaning between staining. Low pressure power washing is recommended to remove heavy stains and mildew.
If we must
use solvent based primers and other specialty paints we specify a lower
odor product available.
We are
responsible when for waste disposal not you.
We estimate the
exact amount of paint needed and if there is leftover paint, we label it
for future touch-ups.
Power-Washing
stains off surfaces sometimes eliminates the need for solvent based
primers.
We limit our use
of T.S.P. or similar chemicals. There is usually a good selection of
less harmful and e-friendly cleaners available, that work well.
We use high
quality paints that eliminate the need for multiple coats. Good paints
can be touched-up and spot washed repeatedly, therefore reducing the
frequency of re-painting.
