What is Wood Restoration?

Our Projects

Colour Options

Wood Cleaning *

Chemical Sanitation: The specialized cleaning solutions we use are formulated to break down mold, algae, moss, and other organic growth at a molecular level, ensuring they don’t quickly regrow.

Optimal Power Washing: Our commercial-grade power washing equipment provides the right pressure to thoroughly clean the wood without causing damage. This balance is crucial—too little pressure leaves embedded contaminants, while too much can gouge the surface.

Foundation for Successful Staining: Proper cleaning removes anything that might inhibit stain adhesion, setting the stage for a consistent, lasting finish.

Stain Stripping

Eco-Friendly Chemical Stripping: We use chemical strippers that are safe for pets, plants, and humans. These products break down certain types of synthetic stains and coatings without harming the wood.

Selective Stain Removal: Not all stains are the same—some penetrate deep into the wood grain, while others form a thick film. Our stripping process is tailored to the specific stain type to ensure full removal.

Restoring Wood’s Natural Beauty: Many old stains and coatings trap dirt, moisture, and damage the wood’s breathability. By stripping away failed coatings, we open the pores of the wood, preparing it for a high-quality stain that will adhere properly and perform better.

Sanding *

Commercial Floor Sander: By uniformly removing the top layer, we eliminate old stain residue and minor wood imperfections. This creates an even “canvas” that helps stains penetrate more uniformly.

Hand Sanding for Precision: Railings, edges, and corners require a gentler touch. We use hand-sanding to smooth splinters and maintain the shape of delicate wood details.

Grain Exposure: Opening the wood grain not only enhances stain absorption but also reveals the natural beauty of the wood’s texture and color.

Staining & Sealing *

Premium Oil-Based Stains: Oil-based products penetrate deeply into the wood fibers, offering better moisture resistance and color retention. These stains do not peel or flake. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Solid Stain Options: Ideal for covering up older finishes or stains that are difficult to remove. Solid stains act more like a paint, offering a uniform color.

Sealing: A clear or lightly tinted sealant is a good choice for homeowners who prefer a more natural wood look. Seals typically require more frequent reapplications but maintain the wood’s intrinsic beauty and protect it from UV, water, and general wear.

Minor Repairs

Targeted Rotted Spots: Often, a few boards are compromised due to localized water damage or rot, while the rest of the deck remains structurally sound. Replacing these selectively is both efficient and cost-effective.

Seamless Integration: By tackling repairs right before sanding and staining, new boards blend in with the final finish, making the repair virtually invisible.

Structural Integrity: Even minor issues, if ignored, can spread damage over time. Early intervention ensures the rest of the deck isn’t compromised.

Deck Resurfacing

Total Surface Replacement: When the surface boards are too far gone—warped, rotted, or coated with stubborn paint—it can be more economical to swap them out entirely while keeping the deck’s sturdy foundation.

Preserves Framework: As long as the support beams and framing are still in good shape, resurfacing avoids the expense of rebuilding everything from scratch.

Fresh Start: New boards provide a clean slate for staining and sealing, reducing future maintenance hassles and improving long-term performance.

What Happens After Your Project Is Booked?

You Choose and Finalize Your Stain opacity and Colour(s). How Exciting!

Before the prep cleaning, we ask you to remove all furniture, barbeques, and other items from the deck.

We will answer any final questions you have before your project begins.
