The restoration of wooden decks is a skilled service that is offered in Granger, Indiana and the surrounding area. A professional deck restoration Granger contractor can restore an old neglected deck to make it look new again. The proper equipment, chemicals, and methods are very necessary requirements to get dramatic results. These services are not as cheap as some may think. To get professional results takes a lot more than just blasting the wood with water.
Many homeowners have cleaned and sealed their own decks only to be disappointed a year later when the deck looks in bad shape again. This is because the wood was not prepared correctly. At this point it would not matter how expensive the deck sealer was that they put on it, it would fail prematurely because of improper preparation.
Wood has to be stripped of any old sealer that may be present and has to be thoroughly cleaned and free of all dirt, grime, mold, and mildew. The wood then has to be brightened or neutralized to make it more acidic so the new deck sealer can penetrate the wood properly. These steps are very crucial to a proper restoration. After the deck reaches a 12% moisture level or less (normally a day or two) the new deck sealer is then applied.
A properly sealed deck will last 2 to 3 years before needing maintenance again. A professional deck restoration company can put you on a maintenance plan in which they came back every two years to maintain the deck. This way the deck looks good all the time. Most of the time the maintenance is not as costly as the initial restoration.
