When the surface of a deck is severely weathered, dirty, scratched, or sun damaged, the top layer of old, weakened wood fibers can be removed through thorough sanding of the entire deck. Sanding your deck provides a smooth, clean surface to apply sealer or stain. Sanding also removes splinters and creates a smooth surface for children, pets, and bare feet.
Sanding the deck begins with pressure washing clean off any dirt and chemical sealers on the original surface. This allows us to easily see trouble spots to address when sanding. After the deck is clean, we set nail and screw heads below the surface of your deck with a punch. Once the deck surface is prepared, we sand the deck twice to assure a flat, smooth surface. We pay special attention when refinishing built-in wood benches and hand railings to create a splinter-free surface. Once the deck refinishing is complete, we wash it once more to prepare it for sealing.
