Do I need a new deck, or can mine be refinished?

If the framing is sound, refinish it. Gray, rough, splintering boards are a surface problem that sanding solves. Rot in the structure or boards worn too thin are a different story, and Todd will tell you which you have at the estimate, before you spend anything.

When is the best time to refinish a deck in Lakewood?

Late spring through early fall is our busy season, while the wood is dry and temperatures are steady. If your deck looked rough this past summer, get the estimate now and take an early slot next season, or catch the tail of this one if the weather holds.

What's the difference between this and deck staining?

Most "deck staining" quotes in Lakewood come from painting companies, and most involve spraying stain over the existing surface. It looks good for a season and peels. We sand to clean wood first, then brush in a penetrating sealer, with a color tint available if you want the stained look that lasts.

Is the sealer safe for kids and pets?

Yes. Zero VOC, mineral-based, no oils, no petroleum, no odor, and harmless to plants and animals once it's ​dry.
