The Power Washers of North America have certified us in wood restoration. Our employees, not subcontractors, will take the time needed to complete your project correctly.

Once the bark is taken off the tree the wood has no way of protecting itself. The damaging effects of weather to unprotected wood can begin immediately. Rain, melting snow and morning dew are quickly absorbed by unprotected wood causing it to swell. The sun's heat causes drying, which makes the wood shrink. These cycles of wet and dry, swelling and shrinking, cause wood to warp, split, cup and crack - all of which lead to shortened wood life and expensive repairs and replacement. Having your wood cleaned and sealed/stained can double the life of your wood and make your decks & fences look like new again.

Our Restoration Process Includes These Important Steps

1. We provide a written quote explaining all the work to be done.
2. We begin by removing the old sealer/stain with a stripping solution.  Our process is environmentally friendly and will not harm your pets, plants or grass.
3.  Next, we gently wash your wood with a power washer using low pressure.  We do not use high pressure because that will damage your wood.
4. The wood is then treated with a neutralizing agent that will brighten the wood and prepare it for our sealer/stain.
5. The wood must then dry (several days, depending on the weather) to a moisture content of 12% or less.  We have sophisticated moisture meters to electronically read the moisture in the wood to insure the wood is dry enough to allow the sealer/stain to bond properly.
6. We lightly sand all of your hand rails and all of your seating surfaces (if applicable).
7. We then seal/stain your wood by hand (we do not use sprayers) with a penetrating oil based semi-transparent sealer/stain that will never crack or peel.  The sealer/stain protects your wood from the sun’s harmful UV rays, resists algae and moss, and repels water.  Click here for limited warranty details.
