Southern Home Handyman working in Bonair, Restoration of a Wood Deck, www.southernhomehandy.com

 

These are two wooden decks on the same property in Richmond, Virginia's Bonair neighborhood. Wood was lightly pressurewashed. Then the wood was allowed to dry. After, we used a solid stain, SuperDeck by Sherwin Williams is a great product to use for good durability and an excellent variety of colors that hold up well over time. 

She can expect to get at least 5 years of protection for her wood. The sealant will maintain much of its color if it is lightly pressure-washed every year and a half. This is important to keep mold and mildew from growing on the fresly sealed wood.

SouthernHomeDeck.com, Ready Seal oil-based Water-sealant on a Wood Deck in Chesterfield, Virginia

 

Southern Home Wood Deck has been Cleaning and Sealing Wooden Decks and Fences in Richmond, VA since 1987. Richmond, VA's longest-standing Pressure Washing company and Power Washing company have more than thirty years of experience! Old wood can look new with proper cleaning that includes a light acid for removing layers of mold and mildew without damaging the wood. Wash of diluted bleach ensures mold and mildew will not easily return. 

Then, the application of an oil-based water-sealant helps condition wood and strengthen wood fibers. I prefer Ready Seal Water Sealant with Tung Oil and Linseed Oil. These natural wood conditioners protect the wood and help to tighten wood fibers to ensure long life of the wood. 

The Pecan color is used here to make fencing look natural and beautiful. This is one of the better products available.

I have written about the water sealant product for wood decks and fences called Ready Seal for several years. It is just a wonderful water sealant that looks beautiful! I love the natural appearance. The product comes in lightly tinted shades, as you can see on the color wheel below. Another thing that I like is that the product contains Linseed Oil. Linseed oil is a well known wood conditioner, used for thousands of years by Mariners on their wood boats. This is a wonderful wood conditioner, because when the wood dries, it encourages the wood grains to pull back upon themselves and make the wood more water-proof.

 Southern Home Wood Deck and Fence started using the product on wood decks and fences several years ago, and the product was rebuffed by big box stores, and not because it was not a good product. Ready Seal was a smaller company compared to Olympic and Thompson's, and they could not compete on the same scale, and it became a product only sold to the professionals. I have seen it from time to time, but it is hard to find. But, if you like a natural finsih- look for it!

When you want your wood deck or wood fence to look its very best!

Cleaning and Sealing a Wood Deck or Trellis is a lot of work! www.Southernhomewooddeck.com has been in Richmond, Virginia since 1987. In those many years we have seen what type of water-sealants and wood stains work best and last longest. So many questions arise, "What is the best water sealant to use on my wood deck?" "Which water-sealant or stain will last the longest on Pressure-treated wood?"

"Which Water-Sealant is the Best- Behr, Sherwin Williams, Ready Seal, Olympic, Cabot, Thompson's, CWF?" 

There are a lot of important decisions to make when spending good money when making a decision on what to use for protecting your wood. You want to make a good decision and not waste money on something that does not work very well. 

"Should I use oil-based water sealant, or should I use Acrylic water-sealants?"

Cabot brand, Australian Timber Oil, painted on a new deck by Southern Home, Richmond, VA 804-585-8016

Hello, my name is Joseph Sowell. I have been cleaning and sealing wood decks in Richmond, VA for thirty five years. I know about nearly every product available to the American consumer. I have recognized some very significant traits about the product called, Cabot brand, Australian Timber Oil. Pay very close attention as I know more about this product than most anyone. I have used it extensively and can tell you a few things before you get involved with this water-sealant. 

Firstly, the product does look absolutely beautiful when it is applied correctly. Secondly, it is very hard to apply and a good amount of time will go into the final product. Even the smallest deck will require more sealant than you are anticipating. The can says something about using only one coat, but there is no way in the world that you are going to get the finish that you are supposed to get using only one coat. A 10' x 15' deck with several steps will probably require two gallons to get the desired results. New wood will swallow the sealant as if you were applying the product to parched earth. 

The project at hand was one where a customer had a kind friend apply the product to her wood deck. He had done a fine job, however, this product is apt to show roller marks and imperfections if only one coat is applied. You will use less product if the deck was sealed in the past. New wood, however, absorbs more product into the pores of the wood. If a stain was on the deck in the past, a stain-stripper must be used to remove all old stain. That task alone can cause the previous product to come out of the pores, necessitating more product. 

The product will go onto the surface best with an applicator pad. I have been taught to use this pad for this product, so I cannot tell you whether a roller can be used, but I suspect it would not produce the same, smooth results that I get when using the soft applicator pad.

This project took two vigilant days of attention and two men about 22 hours labor. Material can be applied with a brush. Overlap is one of the hardest parts of this beautiful finish. See pics below.  

Most people don't want to take on such a project, many hours are involved. Getting the seal to look perfect is not easy. That is where, Southern Home comes in. Call: 804-585-8016 if you decide to hire someone to do the work for you. Our pricing is very competitive. Quality is excellent, always.

I want you to take a look at the transformation that we made take place at Southern Home when we laboriously refinished a deck that had not been loved for fifteen years. Boards had to be replaced, mold and mildew had to be removed, old finish had to be stripped and removed. Broken pickets beneath the hand-rails needed to be repaired. What a job!

I am going to start with what the deck ended up looking like. But, you need to go back and see the previous pics where I show how Southern Home Wood Decks in Richmond, VA refinished one of the ugliest decks we have ever refinished. It was a crew of three men, "T-Roy", "Calvin Sallie" and myself, Todd Sowell. 

Nobody, and I mean nobody, has talent like these guys, just look!

After the deck was cleaned and all of the rotten boards were replaced, Southern Home's crew stained the surface and rails to bring the customer the beautiful picture at the top of the page. We used a solid stain by Behr (available exclusively at Home Depot) and you can imagine how happy the customer was with these fantastic results!
