Remember when?
When pressure treated lumber was first introduced, we were told it was "maintenance free".  Over the years we have found that decks can become pretty ugly without periodic cleaning and sealing, usually every two years. Whether it's the bleaching effect of the sun's ultraviolet rays in full sun, or the unsightliness of algae growth in full shade, our high-pressure power washer will clean your deck, and then aa fresh coat of sealer will bring back its natural beauty.
   

Key Benefits of Deck Cleaning

• Protect a major investment

• Improve aesthetics for everyday enjoyment

• Sealing CCA (chromated copper arsenate) treated lumber reduces exposure to arsenic

• Add to your home's value with good maintenance practices

When?
Deck cleaning and sealing is done in two steps; first we power wash your deck, then we return following the proper drying period to seal your deck.
   

Power washing
Our power washer uses regular tap water, which is pressurized to clean-off years of accumulated dirt! Also see: Deck cleaning 
   

Deck Sealing
You have a choice of which brand of sealer you would like us to use on your deck, but we usually recommend Flood CWF-UV®.  "Clear" coatings are the most commonly used, but tints are also available.

Solid color stains work well where the old finish is blotchy, or if you wish to match the deck color to the trim on the house.

Photos of decks with solid color stains appear below.
