1. What services do you offer?

We specialize in deck and patio services, including:
• Deck cleaning, staining, and sealing
• Deck repair and rebuilding
• Pressure washing for decks, patios, walkways, and siding
• Maintenance plans and seasonal upkeep

What types of wood and materials do you work with?

We commonly work with:
• Softwoods such as cedar, pine, and redwood
• Hardwoods like ipe, Brazilian, ironwood
• Composite decking materials
• Treated lumber and pergolas/arbors

3. How often should a deck be resealed or restained?

It depends on exposure to sun, weather, and wear, but typically:
• Every 2–3 years for many wood decks
• Possibly more frequently (1–2 years) in direct sun or harsh climates
• For hardwoods (e.g. ipe), sometimes longer intervals—depends on condition

We’ll inspect and recommend the best schedule for your deck.

4. What’s the process for deck refinishing?

Generally:
• Inspection & assessment — checking structural soundness, fasteners, boards
• Cleaning / power washing — remove dirt, mildew, old coatings
• Drying time — allow wood to fully dry (often 24–48 hours)
• Sanding (if needed) — smooth rough spots, remove raised grain
• Staining / sealing — apply quality product(s) to protect the wood
• Cleanup & final inspection

5. How long does a project usually take?

It depends on:
• The size of the deck / patio
• The condition (e.g. how much cleaning, repairs)
• Weather (needs dry days)

But for a mid-sized residential deck, typical timelines are 2 to 5 days from start to finish (including curing time).

6. Do you offer a warranty or guarantee?

Yes — we stand behind our work. Depending on the services (staining, structural repair, etc.), we offer a workmanship guarantee and will remedy issues that arise under normal use. (Details will vary per job — we’ll provide a written guarantee.)

7. What affects the cost?

Factors include:
• Deck size and complexity
• Condition (damage, rot, repairs required)
• Type of wood / decking material
• Quality of stain/sealant products used
• Accessibility (height, shape, obstacles)

We give free estimates and explain what drives costs.

8. Can we walk on the deck right away after work is done?

No — we usually recommend waiting:
• 24 to 48 hours before light foot traffic (depending on product used)
• Longer (sometimes 72+ hours) after heavy use, furniture placement, or depending on weather (humidity, rain)

We’ll tell you the safe return times in your specific situation.

9. How do I maintain my deck after your work?

Tips:
• Sweep regularly to prevent debris buildup
• Rinse with a garden hose periodically
• Use mild cleaners (not harsh chemicals)
• Avoid dragging heavy items
• Reapply protective coatings as we recommend
• Address leaks, pooling water, or problematic shrubs nearby

We give free estimates and explain what drives costs.
