Step 1: Dry Debris and Furniture Removal
Before any restoration work begins, we clear the deck of all loose debris, leaves, and buildup, and ensure the surface is free of furniture, grills, planters, and any accessories. Starting with a clean, open surface allows us to work efficiently and ensures no area gets missed during the restoration process. Then, and as always, we do a thorough inspection to ensure the appropriate property protection measures are completed if we will be using restorative chemicals.
Step 2: Pre Treatment & Deep Clean
Deck restoration requires more than a rinse, it requires a proper deep clean. We apply a professional-grade pre-treatment solution that penetrates the surface, breaking down mold, mildew, algae, graying, and embedded dirt that have worked their way into the material over time. For wood decks, this step also begins lifting the oxidation and weathering that causes that washed-out, gray appearance. The right chemistry here is what separates a true restoration from a surface-level clean.
Step 3: Surface Cleaning, Rinse & Prep for Protection
With contaminants fully broken down, we perform a controlled low-pressure wash that thoroughly removes all the buildup the pre-treatment freed up without raising the grain of the wood or damaging composite materials. We work systematically across the entire deck surface to ensure an even, consistent result. The final rinse leaves the surface clean, open, and properly prepped — ready for sealing or staining if the next step in the restoration calls for it.
