Cleaning:
Restoration is the key to restoring your wood to a
like new condition. Depending on our analysis,
your deck may receive either a chemical finish
remover or commercial grade cleaning detergent.
These professional grade cleaners will safely
remove years of failed stain, mold, mildew, and other dirt. A low pressure wash will remove these
detergents to reveal a clean wood surface.
Neutralization:
Because commercial grade cleaners are caustic on the PH scale, a chemical neutralizer must be applied.
This balances the wood's PH making it more conducive staining. In addition to preparing the wood for
stain, the neutralization process acts as a brightener, returning wood to it's natural look.
Other Prep:
One the deck has been fully cleaned, our specialists proceed to set nails, sand handrails, and perform
any other agreed upon repairs. We also make sure to mask your house and any nearby vegetation to
protect against stain.
Staining:
Once we have finished cleaning, neutralizing, and prep work, your deck is ready for the final beautiful
step. We apply a high quality oil based sealer to all surfaces, railings, steps, and posts on your deck. All
our sealers are commercial quality and resistant to mold, mildew, and water, unlike many products
available over the counter.
The Restoration Process:
Analysis:
Before beginning any exterior wood restoration project, the first
step is evaluation. The specialists at Apex DeckSavers take time to fully evaluate all work to be done.
This includes measuring dimensions, checking for rotted or damaged wood and examining the level of
dirt or any previous finishes. If necessary we may also restore a small test spot to demonstrate the
dramatic transformation your wood will enjoy. During this time, our specialists will also provide you with
a comprehensive bid folder containing before and after photos and additional information along with
your price.
