Deck
Restoration, Sealing and Staining
Over time the forces of nature cause wooden decks and fences
to become weathered and unattractive. This weathering often consists
not only of fading or graying from the sun but also of build up of dirt
or unsightly molds, mildew or algae that can be slippery and very
unsafe.
Pressure washing of your exterior wood
includes the removal of these elements as well as old sealants and
stains or excess surface wax on new wood. This process includes
restoring 100% of the visible wood from every angle
leaving you with a natural new looking deck or fence that has been
restored to its original golden pine color and condition. This also
enables protective finishes (i.e. sealants and stains) to penetrate and
adhere to the wood properly in order provide maximum protection.
Pricing for this particular service starts at 50 cents per
square foot. We only charge for the flat bottom and stairs
while restoring all rails, pickets, sideboards and support beams free
of charge. An average size deck in our area generally
measures 12' by 20' and carries a price tag of $125.00.
Without the application
of a sealant or stain your deck or fence is under constant attack from
the forces or nature. Harmful rays from the sun cause wood to fade,
looking gray and weathered. Moisture from punishing rain and snow, as
well as morning dew, is quickly absorbed by unprotected wood causing it
to swell. The sun then dries the wood causing it to shrink. These
cycles of wet and dry, swelling and shrinking, and temperature extremes
promotes growth of mold and mildew and causes wood to warp, split and
crack leaving your deck discolored and very unattractive. Left
unprotected, any deck will be damaged by these conditions. For this
reason protective finishes are strongly recommended for all exterior
wood.
Precision Pressure Wash uses
sealants and stains made by the Wolman manufacturer that carry a two-year
guarantee to bead water and protect. Wolmanized lumber is a
familiar term to most people due to the fact that Wolman handles 90% of
all of the pressure treating of the lumber in the entire U.S. These
products are amongst the absolute best offering the most extensive
guarantee on the market as well as unsurpassed protection.
This guarantee is not only backed by Wolman but
also by Precision Pressure Wash.
When it comes to
protective finishes, most customers choose a clear sealant. Customers
who like the natural look of new wood and also wish to remain cost
effective use clear sealants as opposed to more expensive stains. These
sealants are totally clear, mildew-resistant water repellants designed
to protect wood from damage caused by water absorption while still
allowing wood to gray naturally. All Wolman products exceed the federal
specifications for water repellency. Pricing for the application of a
clear sealant is 50 cents per square foot or in
most cases $125.00 per deck.
Customers who wish to
further protect as well as beautify their decks often use an oil-based
stain to achieve their desired results. Using Wolman
F&P Premium Wood Finish and Preservative we are able
to guarantee protection from all of nature's damaging elements for up
to four years. This product is a high performance, durable, deep
penetrating exterior wood finish, which provides exceptional water
repellency and UV protection, plus the added protection of an
EPA-registered preservative, which prevents fungal growth on the wood
surface. The preservative in F&P protects against the outbreak
of mold, mildew, rot and decay, even in humid, well shaded or
consistently wet areas. F&P's powerful water repellant exceeds
federal specification and contains the most advanced UV absorbers and UV
blocking technology
available today. Together, they prevent
premature color fading and graying while beautifying your deck with a
vividly colored yet transparent finish.
These products are offered in a
variety of shades to suit the needs of most consumers. Pricing for
theses products and their application is based on square footage and
starts at $1.75
per square foot.
