Properly cared for wooden
decks and fences add to the value and appearance of a home. Timely cleaning and
staining or sealing of exterior wood structures will keep them looking like new.
The restoration process begins with a
thorough cleaning and or stripping as determined by the type of wood and its
previous finish history. Even high quality stains and sealers will be unable to
live up to their expected performance if they are applied over a poorly prepared
surface.

Our cleaners, strippers and brighteners
are chlorine free and environmentally friendly. Our specially formulated
products, when properly applied, will not harm the wood itself or the
surrounding structures and vegetation.
After the appropriate cleaners have
been applied, the wood surfaces are then "scrubbed" clean with a power washer
set to the proper pressure for your type of wood. Inexperience and improper use
of power washing equipment can cause many problems. These problems can be as
simple as ineffective cleaning or as damaging as splintering and shredding of
the wood surface.
Why Does My Wood Need to
be Cleaned?
The environment and normal everyday
usage will cause untreated wood to become dirty, gray and weathered.
Some damage that may occur:
When
unprotected wood absorbs water; mildew, fungus and mold are provided with
optimal growing conditions. The growth of these organisms causes the wood to
discolor, deteriorate and eventually rot.
Pollution and acid rain can cause the wood to become dull and dirty.
Children, pets, barbecue grills, and
even just walking on your deck, can cause unsightly dirt and grime to become
a problem. Ground in dirt wears away at the wood surface.
Standing water becomes a problem
when crevices between boards become filled with debris. Unless this debris
is removed, these areas remain continually moist and the surrounding wood
begins to decompose.
The specialized cleaning process of
Deck Maintenance Corp will leave your deck, fence, log home or wood siding
thoroughly clean. All dirt, grime, mildew and algae will be removed and the wood
surfaces will be ready for maximum penetration of your chosen stain or sealer.
