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?"

 ## Refinishing a Wooden Deck in Richmond, Virginia. 

###At Southern Home Handyman, we specialize in refinishing wooden decks to bring them back to life. Our process begins with a thorough cleaning to remove dirt and grime. Once the wood is clean, we inspect it for defects. In this case, the wood was about 25 years old, and we identified several sections that needed replacement. After replacing the rotten wood and reinforcing the supporting structure, we applied a light wash containing bleach. This wash sits on the wood before being pressure washed, and the wood is left to dry for 24 to 48 hours.


Next, we sealed the deck using a Solid Stain by Behr, it is a solid water-sealant and stain that is used to cover severely worn wood decking. Although we considered a semi-transparent product at first, we opted for the solid stain to fill in the imperfections of the older wood. The final result was fabulous!


If you're in Richmond, VA, and need professional deck refinishing services, contact Southern Home Handyman today. Our expert team is ready to transform your deck and make it look brand new. Trust us for all your home improvement needs in Richmond and the surrounding areas.

SPRING Pressure-washing a Wood Deck! Olympic Elite oil-based Stain is an Excellent Sealant and Stain!

 www.southernhomedeck.com or www.powerwash5000.com



In Richmond, VA, or Cary, NC, customers depend on being offered high-quality water sealants that will last over time. Nobody wants to use a product that looks terrible after one year. Here, at Southern Home Wood Deck in Richmond, VA, or Cary, NC, our company uses nothing but the very best water sealants. We prefer oil-based products for durability and ones that contain Linseed oil to help strengthen wood-fibers. 

Olympic has been around since the late 1980s. We know because we have been around since that time period and Olympic was one of the few companies that offered water sealants for wooden decks at a time when few products existed.

Durability, a product that will hold up and look decent for at least three years is key. Olympic products hold up over time. (804) 585-8016, give us a call and we can discuss with you the differences between Olympic and other brands. We can explain how using oil-based products help to condition the wood and strengthen wood fibers.

How to Clean a Wooden Deck and The Ugliest Deck On The Planet.

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!
