Deck cleaning, repairs, staining and sealing that restore weathered wood and protect it from Tennessee sun and rain.
A deck lives in the harshest part of your property: full sun, rain, mildew, falling leaves and foot traffic. Left unprotected, wood turns gray, cups, splinters and eventually rots. A good stain and sealer slows all of that down, and the key is timing and prep. Staining a deck that is dirty, wet or coated with old failing finish will not last. In Nashville, where humid summers feed mildew, annual care and a stain chosen for the wood and exposure keep a deck beautiful for years.
We clean the deck with a wood cleaner and pressure wash at a safe setting, brighten the wood, check for loose boards, popped nails and splinters, sand rough areas and let the wood dry fully. We then apply a quality stain or sealer, by spray and back-brush, working with the grain and protecting siding, plants and furniture. We explain the difference between transparent, semi-transparent and solid stains, so you can choose the look and the upkeep you want.
A wood cleaner removes mildew and gray weathering so the stain can soak in evenly.
Wood must be dry before staining, so we plan the clean and stain with enough time between.
Transparent shows grain, semi-transparent adds color and solid hides flaws, and each needs different upkeep.
Working the stain into the wood gives better protection and avoids lap marks.
