Deck Restoration
Comprehensive Deck Restoration Services by The Deck Dude
Bring new life to your aging deck with professional restoration services from The Deck Dude. Our restoration process goes beyond simple cleaning and staining to thoroughly revitalize your deck, extending its lifespan and enhancing its appearance without the cost of full replacement.
Signs Your Deck Needs Restoration
- Faded or Discolored Wood: Sun exposure and weather can strip wood of its natural color and protective oils.
- Water Absorption: If water no longer beads on the surface but soaks in quickly, your deck’s protective seal has broken down.
- Mold or Mildew Growth: Dark spots or a greenish tinge indicate potentially damaging fungal growth.
- Surface Roughness: A deck that once felt smooth but now feels rough needs attention before splinters form.
- Cracking or Checking: Small cracks along the grain of the wood can develop into bigger problems if not addressed.
- Failed Previous Finish: Peeling, flaking, or bubbling stain or sealer indicates it’s time for proper restoration.
