Power Wash & Neutralize
Close wash of all deck surfaces being treated.
We begin by performing a test-run. Only if our power washer is unable to remove all previous finishes do we apply 2n1 BEHR Finish Remover to loosen the previous stain before power washing. Once washing is complete, all surfaces near the deck are rinsed with low, garden hose pressure to remove any loosened cedar pores from the deck boards.
Neutralize: After the wash, all surfaces are sprayed with one coat of Sherwin Williams SuperDeck® Revive Deck and Siding Brightener. This material is rinsed off within a few minutes, restoring the pH of the wood and neutralizing any stripping material used.
View Power Washing StandardsMasking & Cover-Up
We protect all surfaces that are not being stained. This document is your written guarantee that our workers will not drip any stain on any surfaces outside the project scope.
- Walkways: Covered with tarps or drop cloths to prevent drips and overspray.
- Plants: Covered with painter’s plastic, tarps, or drop cloths. We may prune plants touching the deck and will “tie back” branches to prevent contact with freshly stained surfaces.
- Outdoor Patio & BBQ: Moved a safe distance from the work area, or covered and protected in place.
Surface Preparation Service
► Fiber Disk Sanding
Using fiber disk sanders, we remove up to 1/16″ from the surface of deck boards, bench-tops, and handrail. This process restores most deck boards to 80–90% like-new condition. Spindles, bench legs, hot tubs, or any other surface too delicate for disk sanders are carefully hand-sanded.
► Dust Removal
Using powerful gas blowers, we remove all sanding dust from between boards, gaps, and cracks, as well as all nearby surfaces, before stain application begins.
