Ready Seal Water Sealant for Superior Linseed Oil and Tung Oil finish is a good selection for making Wood Deck and Wood Fences look Spectacular! The product definitely has a beautiful look. The penetrating oils seap into wood pores and help strengthen the integrity of the wood. 

There are so many choices on the market for new wood. If you recently built a fence or deck, I like this product a lot. And, mostly because of the linseed oil content. But, we have used this sealant on some decks and it has shown some amount of wear more quickly. I believe this has been because of animals on the deck, their pads scuffing the finish off. And, one person, may have used the deck as a place to wash items, not thinking about the wear and tear that chemicals can have on the surface. 

Just use common sense. If your deck gets lots of usage, no matter what brand you use on the surface, it is not a polyurethane like product. The finish is made of parafin-wax, mixed with linseed oil and tung oil. It is very natural. 

My experience is that the product will do exceptionally well on wood fences. On upright wood the finish will look pretty for a minimum of three years, and begins to fade after five. Decks, you have kids running overtop of, grabbing handrails, can make it wear faster. Most sealants are going to last about three years if you are not concerned about the look of the wood. The most important thing is that the wood is being protected. If appearance is a concern, I have customers who freshen up the wood every two years. Protection will last for three years at a minimum. If the deck gets direct sunlight, color can fade more rapidly. The perfect scenario is when you have minimal sunlight on the deck, some shade. Then, the appearance will age more slowly.

I hope these thoughts help you out in making a decision as to what product you finally choose to use on your wood deck or fence. Feel free to call me with any questions and I am happy to impart any wisdom on the subject matter.  (804)585-8016

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.

Richmond, VA Pressure Washing, The Very Best!

Winter months are hard on wood! New wood comes from the forest and is milled and cut into timber. The timber then goes through the process of becoming pressure-treated with the arsenic or other chemicals that keep insects from eating or living on your outside, architectural structures- Wooden Decks, Wooden Fences, and Wooden Patios.

Most new wood sits and dries in the lumber yard. In this day and age, lumber moves quickly from their yards to local companies like Home Depot, Lowes, and Siewers, and when your Carpenter goes to these spots to purchase his wood for building your new fences, decks, and wooden structures. 

There is a misperception that many months must go by before the chemicals put into the wood at the mill evaporate and water sealant or stain can be applied to the wood. This is a misperception! Wood must be dry and with a special tool, the cleaner can accurately determine if the wood will accept your protectant. Most people do not realize it, but Acrylic water sealants can be applied to moist wood even if it is wet. Thompson's and Olympic offer very good quality clear sealants that can be used on newer wood. However, it is best to use products that contain Linseed Oil the very first time a wood deck is sealed. 

Linseed Oil is a known wood conditioner and literally promotes the strengthening of wood fibers. Wood strands and grains slowly pull apart from one and another and wood that has never been treated before appears swollen. Linseed oil tightens the wood strands and grains and causes rigidity. 

Call Southern Home Wood Deck in Richmond, VA at (804)585-8016 and let us explain the various products available. Ready Seal, Olympic, Thompson's, CWF, Cabot, Sherwin Williams, Benjamin Moore are all brands we use and recommend. Here are a few pictures of our work.

Cleaning a Wooden Fence on Rosewood Avenue, Richmond, VA 23220 by Southern Home Pressure-washing

                                             www.powerwash5000.com

Boy, this was an ugly fence on the back of a house near Byrd Park in Richmond, VA. The challenge is two-fold. First, my company- Southern Home Pressure washing, was hired to clean and stain this fence.I was able to use a strong detergent to loosen mold and mildew and basically "scrub" the wood with a mild pressure-wash. As you can see, the cleaning worked well. When that was finished, it will need a day to dry and then I will come back to hand-paint the stain. The customer had first imagined sealing with a semi-transparent color but later changed her mind. At least she doesn't have to look at a nasty fence anymore! Check back in a few days and see how this turns out!

Look at my website at www.southernhomedeck.com or powerwash5000.com if you may be interested in  

The results are exquisite! The fence is finished with Sherwin Williams solid wood deck stain by Super Deck.

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!
