How We Refinish a Falcon Heights Deck

We start by walking the full deck with you and testing the wood board by board — not just looking at the surface, but checking for soft spots, rot, and structural soundness. A deck that's never been treated can look worse than it actually is, or better than it actually is. We don't guess either way.

Once we know what we're working with, we give the deck a real clean — dirt, mildew, that gray weathered look all come off — and then we let it dry out fully before we do anything else. Stain a deck while it's still damp underneath and you'll trap moisture in there, and the finish won't last the season.

For a deck that's never been treated, we usually go with a penetrating oil-based stain instead of something that just sits on top of the wood — it soaks in better on dry, untreated boards and won't peel the way surface coatings tend to on wood that's never had protection. Color matters too, especially if you're getting ready to sell. A clean, even stain in the right shade just looks cared-for — buyers notice that during a walkthrough, and so do the listing photos.

Most deck refinishing jobs in Falcon Heights take a day or two, depending on the size and what shape the wood is in. You'll get a written estimate before we start anything, and if you're up against a closing date or a move-out deadline, just tell us — we'll build the schedule around that instead of the other way around.
