Residential Case Study

Project: Our expert team revitalized this worn and weathered deck, enhancing its natural beauty and extending its lifespan. The deck had previously been coated with a deteriorating stain, and the wood had become weathered, discolored, and unattractive. The primary objective was to restore the deck to its former glory by stripping the old coating, thoroughly cleaning, lightly sanding, and applying a fresh coat of stain.

Process: Initially, a thorough assessment was carried out to gauge the extent of damage and work required, including an examination for any structural issues or wood rot. Subsequently, the restoration process commenced with the meticulous removal of the old, deteriorating stain using specialized products and tools. Following this, the deck received a comprehensive washing to eliminate residual debris and stripping by-products, ensuring a pristine surface for the new stain application. Light sanding was then employed to smooth out any imperfections on the wood surface, facilitating an even and polished finish. The pivotal final step involved the application of a high-quality deck stain, offering protection against the elements, enhancing the wood’s natural aesthetics, and extending its longevity, with multiple coats applied to attain the desired result.

Results: The challenges encountered during this project primarily revolved around the removal of the old coating. Ensuring that all remnants of the previous stain were removed was crucial to achieving a smooth and durable finish with the new stain. In terms of the project timeline, the entire process took four days from start to finish. This timeline was carefully planned to ensure that each step was executed with precision and allowed for proper drying and curing of the stain between coats.
