## 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!

CWF UV5 applied to a new wood deck in Wyndham West. Southern Home Wood Deck Cleaning and Staining. 585-8016, Richmond, VA
This deck in Wyndham West was cleaned and stained using CWF UV5, one of the highest rated sealants available. Special ordered for my clients, here are the beginning steps. Cleaned it with a wood-cleaning solution. Now, we begin to seal with CWF UV5.
The deck is almost 900 square feet and cost the client little to have the deck cleaned and then hand-painted, about $1000. Materials additional. Quite a bargain. It took three men eight hours to almost complete. Tomorrow, you will see the finished results.

Cabot Solid Stain Renovates the Old Appearance of a Wood Deck, Southern Home Wood Deck, Richmond, VA
Southern Home Wood Deck Staining
Richmond, Virginia 23225 (804)585-8016
This was a project! This deck looked pretty rough when we first arrived to clean this wood deck. Then, to beautify the deck, we used Cabot solid stain with a rich red color, chosen by the customer. I love the way it turned out. This deck took two gallons of solid paint to help in covering the white pickets. Money well spent.
If you don't do a project on your deck yourself, make sure to call Southern Home Wood Deck in Richmond, VA at 804-585-8016. We can give you a price over the telephone. This customer texted a picture of the deck and within minutes, she knew how much the work would cost.
Aggregate Driveway, Stamped Concrete Cleaning and Sealing your Aggregate Driveway, by Southern Home in Richmond, VA since 1987

Aggregate Driveway Cleaning and Sealing, Stamped Concrete Cleaning and Sealing. Protect your investment by removing mold and mildew stains from your concrete surface and then sealing those surfaces with a 30 weight Concrete sealant. I like a product called Sonneborn. A.H. Harris makes a wonderful product as well.
What is the significance of cleaning concrete and sealing it? Well, for one, it makes the surface look clean and new, and the shiny look is better than new! But more important, it prevents moisture from seeping into the concrete where during the winter months, freezing moisture within your concrete can cause it to crack.
Sealants come in various materials and various grades. The products with the highest sheen have the most protection and are the best choice and generally are petroleum-based. The other products are Acrylic and still seal the pores of the cement very well.
This is a small driveway with an Aggregate finish. You can literally see the product on the surface. In these pictures, I have already cleaned the driveway, I am only applying the sealant with a brush and roller. It should last three years.
