Interest in outdoor living spaces grew due to the pandemic, and many homeowners are looking for ways to expand or enhance their outdoor areas. Susan, a homeowner in Kenilworth, had her deck redone last year and replaced all the floorboards. Susans beautiful deck is Western Red Cedar and includes a built-in cook prep station with a granite countertop, making it a perfect spot for grilling and relaxing outdoors. Typically recommended for cedar decks, the customer did not have the deck immediately stained upon completion. Cedar that has been allowed to slightly weather is more receptive to stain.
NorthCraft Staining Services also offers professional wood restoration, and staining services. We know that re-staining your deck can be a painstaking process, and often times does not come out the way you planned. Reason being is that most homeowners and painting contractors re-stain over the old stain, and that is what causes the new stain to fail, and let the old stain show through. We offer a variety of services ranging from deck washing, concrete and patio cleaning to refinishing a deck. We all fully insured and use all Biodegradable cleaners. We also offer a variety of products to let the customer have protection options on the types of sealers we use.
Hiring an expert deck cleaning contractor may be your best bet. Anyone with a desire to work and a quality pressure washer can clean siding or rinse a driveway, but when it comes to wood restoration, not everyone has the know-how to clean traditional lumber not to mention the more exotic timber used for building decks like ipe and cedar. Only a professional has the experience, equipment, and methods it takes to apply deck stains or sealers to get the best results possible.
It is important to finish any wood surface to keep from drying out, cracking, splitting and swelling from the moisture in the air. Different types of wood require different types of wood finishing products and stains. Our deck staining contractors will always arrive on time to complete your staining and keep you in budget.
The second problem is bonding. As stated earlier, most deck sealers are designed to bond to wood fibers to some degree. Many sealers can also bond to themselves (such as a second coat). If we try to apply one sealer over top of another brand (or type) of sealer, there is no guarantee that the new sealer will bond to the old sealer. If this occurs, the new sealer could flake and peel off within months. Most sealer manufacturers are reluctant to stand behind the performance of their product unless it is applied to bare wood.
Further, sealers that are designed to penetrate, when forced to dry on the surface without penetrating, will fail by design. What I mean here is that a penetrate is not meant to stand up to wear like a coating does, so when you force a penetrate to act as a coating it fails. Staining is a great investment in the longevity of your property and home. It protects from extreme weather for years to come. If you have a deck, call for an estimate on having it stained and cleaned.

Not all refinishing projects will include all steps, as some decks need just a little maintenance and others might need a full rehab. For example, some deck surfaces may be worn, weathered or broken. Some decks may just need a new coat of stain or sealer depending on when they were last maintained. In many cases, the stain is the sealer, and it could include pigment to even out the wood’s coloring and provides additional protection against sun damage. There are other processes that might chemically remove weather damage. Each deck is unique in age, wood type, and surface treatments.
The best time to stain your deck is in the spring or fall, when the weather is mild and there is no chance of rain. If you stain your deck in the summer, the heat can cause the stain to dry too quickly and not provide adequate protection. If you stain your deck in the winter season, the cold weather can make it difficult to apply the stain evenly.
Many store-bought products will depreciate the wood deck or gazebo, rather than doing what they are supposed to do. This is due to either poor quality products or improper application by the homeowner or inexperienced deck contractor. Homeowners are often overwhelmed by the number of products displayed in home-improvement stores. Some guarantee impossible results; others are quality products, but how does one know what to look for?
For new decks, a properly applied coat of a quality wood sealer or stain that's maintained on a scheduled basis will dramatically extend its life. A deck that has been around for a few years without treatment is different story though. Additional steps must be taken to get the wood in good condition before any type of deck sealing or wood staining products are applied.
Decks can also begin to look unattractive. Most decks will look weathered and turn gray within the first year of being built. NorthCraft can add value to your deck with a quality, oil-based stain to safe guard from sun, rain and weather damage. With proper stain maintenance you can extend the life of your deck.
We are specially trained to clean decks and then stain or seal them. Cleaning and resealing your deck will help extend the life of your deck. When done correctly, pressure washing the deck or wood first, will remove the old stain and help open up the grain to allow the new stain or sealer to penetrate better and last longer.
Our deck staining and cleaning service is a durable and reliable choice for waterproofing your wood from the weather.
We restore all types of wood. We also restore fences by cleaning and staining with high quality stains and materials.
