Side Porch Restoration in Richmond, Virginia, BEHR Epoxy Porch Paint on Porch Floor, www.southernhomedeck.com, Southern Home Handyman

This is the first exterior porch refinish project to begin the year in 2025! The cold weather in Richmond, Virginia finally snapped, and temperatures have moved above 65 Degrees! We are so excited!

This project has begun in the 23226 area-code, near the Country Club of Virginia. Our client is a newly expecting mother, and as she readies the house for the babie's arrival, it was important that her side-porch looked fresh and new. She understands the value of the pretty side porch area when Spring arrives!

We made suggestions to use a Baby-blue coloring on the porch ceiling area- a popular color to use on porch ceilings, as it is believed to repel mosquitoes. This may not be completely true, you will need to do your own research, but it is a popular ideology in modern culture. But, what young and expectent mother would not want to pair that color with a new baby comng in March? I think we are creating a "Mom-Porch"!

If the Baby-blue coloring on the ceiling does not keep the bugs away, the newly hand-crafted screen door was made by us from a couple of pieces of wood and a few screens.

All will be painted using BEHR exterior semigloss paint, raw wood will be primed before painting, and the ceiling will get its Baby Blue finish!

I suggested using Garage-floor Epoxy, matched to the color of the trim. And, to finish it off, we will give the floor a dusting of garage-floor-flakes to give it a modern look. The flakes also help to hide dirt and debris and certainly pollen when sometimes you do not have the time to get out and clean the floor. Also, the Floor-Epoxy is a product that will last for a great amount of time. I have learned in 35 years of Sealing side-porches that a simple acrylic garage-floor coating will look nice for a few months, after several months it will start peeling off of the cement floor. Do the right thing and use Epoxy on the floor!

                  Using a water sealant on a wood deck is essential for several reasons:

1. Protection from Moisture: Wood is naturally porous and can absorb water, leading to swelling, warping, and rotting over time. A water sealant creates a barrier that prevents moisture from penetrating the wood, extending the life of your deck.

2. Preventing Mold and Mildew: Moist environments are breeding grounds for mold and mildew, which can cause health issues and damage the wood. Sealing your deck helps keep these harmful organisms at bay.

3. UV Protection: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause wood to fade, crack, and splinter. Many water sealants also contain UV blockers that protect the wood from the sun's harmful rays, maintaining its appearance and structural integrity.

4. Enhancing Appearance: A good sealant can enhance the natural beauty of the wood, bringing out its grain and color. It can also provide a smooth, even finish that looks great and feels good underfoot.

5. Ease of Maintenance: Sealed decks are easier to clean and maintain. Dirt, grime, and spills are less likely to penetrate the wood, making it easier to keep your deck looking fresh and clean.

By applying a water sealant, you can ensure your wood deck remains durable, beautiful, and safe for years to come. If you need help with sealing your deck, feel free to reach out to Southern Home Handyman! We can help you in making a good decision regarding the best products to use on new wood.

We make Wood Decks and Fences look like New again!

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-beKa90fWOnrlLwe-KBRXw

This was a fairly simple project. The customer wanted to have a solid stain on an older wood deck. We first washed the deck with a simple bleach and detergent solution and let the wood dry. We usually do this to kill algae and mold or mildew. Fungus grows on wood easily in moist or humid environments.

A day later, we returned and applied the Sherwin Williams' Super Deck product. The customer chose a solid stain with a light gray color. He wanted to do a more tedious procedure which may be a tiny bit hard to see in these pictures, but he wanted to have this deck to have a unique look. He decided to use white trimmings. 

We used an airless Paint-sprayer to apply a solid coat to all parts of the deck. We finished by trimming with the white handrails and the results were certainly worth the extra time!

If you are trying to make your wood deck stand out, think about interesting color combinations that you can use that might make your backyard a little bit more fun! You can always use different colors a few years from now and change it all again, that  is the fun part of using solid colors.  You can change the colors every year, or every few years. It is worth it to be able to enjoy your backyard and to have a place to relax and enjoy. It is your sanctuary!

Let your mind wander and imagine an early evening with a glass of Chablis. Invite a few friends over for a cookout and let them celebrate the new you! You are now the Computer-worker or Number-cruncher who expresses himself/herself with their backyard Deck!

#One of the most beautiful finishes, Ready Seal Water Sealant, Linseed oil and Tung oil-based

                                   Our YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-beKa90fWOnrlLwe-KBRXw

##It takes more time to put down, but the results are indisputable. Purely gorgeous! Not many deck refinishers can make a deck look this nice. .. Call, Southern Home Wood Deck at 804-585-8016

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

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!

Ready Seal Water Sealant on Wood Fences and Wood Decks- Beautiful and Natural-looking! www.southernhomedeck.com

Richmond, Virginia

Ready Seal Water Sealant is a Linseed-based water sealant that we most often use on new wood. We like this product because new wood has lost much of its natural oils during the process of pressure-treating the wood. Wood is put in giant vats where the would is infused with a chemical that makes the wood insect-proof. The wood's natural oils get lost in the process, so we will use a very wonderful product like, Ready Seal Water Sealant to help protect the wood from warpng and cupping, rot and decay.

The product comes in several colors, below you can see us applying a Honey-gold colored water-sealant to a new wood fence. The color is very natural, and it will look pretty for several years.

In Richmond, Virginia, please call Southern Home Wood Deck and Fence for your current project. We clean and seal new and older fences and we can help you choose the best product for your project.
