The deck or patio is an often neglected part of our home. While it is a lovely place to throw a party or have cook out, the wood goes untreated for years. After awhile it starts to look rough, to the point of embarrassment, and it gets avoided as a place for entertainment.
Having the deck look like a place of pride is a refreshing change of pace. A newly refinished deck becomes the crowning glory of your backyard. This may seem like a project to do yourself, giving your deck a makeover is better left to the professionals. Not only is this a labor intensive feat, but it can be messy and time-consuming.
Ozzys Painting will do the following :
- Clean off your deck- This is a step you can help with, as you may want to throw away old patio decorations or salvage deck furniture. After all of this removed, yard debris and dirt must be thoroughly removed from the deck.
- Inspect the deck- Look for any mildew and scrape it off, treat with bleach if necessary. Clean off any mold or algae, anything that will get in the way of the stain
- Sand the deck- Any imperfections like splintered wood or bumps need to be smooth. Make sure that all nails and screws are securely in place.
- Pressure wash- The stream of water is so intense that it opens the pores of the wood, making it easier to absorb the stain.
- Pick a stain- Ozzys Painting will help you choose the best stain for your situation, and insure that your choice includes a durable sealer.
Get your deck redone for Springtime outdoor entertainment.
