Sagamore Hills Deck Strip, Neutralize, Stain and Seal - Restoration Project.

In this project the 2nd level pine deck was in very rough shape. Deck had a weathered water-based sealer (More than likely Behr). In this first video I go through the overall condition of the deck. Note the mildew, moss, and overall dirt, gunk on the deck. I wasn't sure we could remove most of that failing sealer so I made a recommendation to apply a solid-stain. I only do this in situations where decks are in very rough shape (as a last resort).

In the second video I demonstrate the difference a good stripping, pressure washing and brightening make on a deck. Where we had moss, mildew, and remnants of a long ago failing water based stain and seal it is now very clean, PH has been balanced to accept the new stain properly. These are steps that are vital in order to get a long lasting stain and sealer on a deck. Because we were able to clean the deck so well (a pleasant surprise) we went ahead and scheduled to apply a penetrating TWP semi-transparent stain to follow.

In this third video I demonstrate the deck after being stained and sealed with TWP 205 'California Cedar' Note that the grain is not just visible, it is accentuated.  The TWP 205 not only adds a rich, natural tone to the deck but will hold up very well to heavy afternoon sun exposure. It definitely holds true to its acronym TWP= Total Wood Protectant

In the last video our customer was kind enough to offer a quick overview of his overall experience with us. We hope this helps prospective customers to get an idea as to our commitment to excellent service.
