Decks, fences, and pergolas — cleaned, brightened, and re-stained so the wood lasts instead of splitting and greying out.
Left unsealed, a cedar or pressure-treated deck goes grey, rough, and splintery within a couple of Ontario seasons — then the boards start to cup and crack. Restoration reverses the weathering and puts a protective coat back on before any of that turns into board replacement.
UV and moisture are what break wood down — the sun greys the surface and the freeze-thaw cycle opens up cracks that hold water. A clean and re-stain every two to three years keeps that from ever getting to the structural boards, and it costs a fraction of a rebuild.
Wash the wood down and strip off any peeling or failed stain so the new coat has bare timber to bite into.
A wood brightener neutralizes the cleaner and restores an even tone, then rough spots and raised grain get sanded back.
Once the wood is dry, we apply a penetrating stain or sealer — two coats on rails and high-wear areas — and protect the surrounding landscaping throughout.
Dry time before staining: 24–48 hours depending on weather. Best results come from re-coating every 2–3 years before the finish wears through.
A recent cedar deck and privacy skirt in London — stripped, brightened, and finished with a penetrating stain that pulls the warmth back into the grain.
