DECK CLEANING & SEALING

Deck Cleaning & Sealing Expert in San Antonio, TX


Deck and Patio Care technicians will remove all items (plants, pots, tables, chairs, etc.) from the deck.

Most older decks have been sealed before. As a result, the surface of the wood planks usually has a layer of old sealer, dirt, mildew, and mold directly below the sealer layer of wood. Deck and Patio Care by Barry Hagendorf starts by spraying an environmentally-safe, biodegradable stripping agent on the wood.
Once the deck becomes saturated with a stripping agent, Deck and Patio Care will powerwash it, including railings and sides. 
After the cleaning process finishes, we apply an oxalic-based wood brightener. This brightener neutralizes oxidation tannic acid in the wood.
Once the deck is dry, the sealing process begins. We spray the patio with an oil-based penetrating sealer. Typically, the first application will penetrate 1/8 to 1/4 inch into the planks. As the deck ages, the sealer pulls down into the wood.

Resealing is recommended every 12-24 months after the previous seal. After the third year, you can go to sealing every other year.
