Has Your Deck or Fence Seen Better Days?

If your deck has seen better days you are not alone. Most people are not quite sure how they should maintain a nice deck or fence and that can leave a lot of unprotected wood. Prolonged exposure to the elements can cause premature deterioration. There are a lot of factors that can cause your deck or fence to begin its downhill spiral. One of the most important factors is to protect your deck from wind, sun and moisture. This can be accomplished with deck and fence staining and sealing.

UV kills decks

The general consensus is to leave your wood at least a year before you stain and seal it. This is a huge misconception because the UV rays from the sun will start to break down the wood immediately. This is what causes the greying of the wood and can cause irreversible damage. Deck and fence staining and sealing is such an important factor in maintaining your woods original beauty.

Decks, pergolas and fences are all expensive exterior components to your home. If your woodwork is turning grey, cracked and dry then you need to act now! There is no reason to leave them unprotected when you are a simple call or email from a company that can restore your outdoor living space to the beautiful addition that it was meant to be. Sealtech is the company to call. They have a long standing history as one of the best companies to handle your power washing, deck and fence staining and sealing. They are located right in the Toronto area and have a 15 year standing as a great company to work with.

You might want to try it yourself to save some money. In my experience you can end up spending a lot more than you save. First you probably don’t have the proper equipment and then there is the expertise in using it. I had this thought once and bought a sprayer. Someone had told me that it would be easy and I could save a lot of money. I spent about 3 days doing a job on a small deck and fence that Sealtech could have done in less than a day. I found out that fence staining is not as easy as I thought. Also, no one told me not to apply my deck stain during the full sun, so my deck became sticky. It takes a lot of extra time and effort to clean it, so I figured it would be fine with a quick sweep. My deck and fence looked far from professional!

I spent more time trying to get the stain off from my siding where it had over sprayed than I did staining the deck. Yes, I did put something on the wall to catch the overspray. Who would believe that a gentle breeze could carry the spray that high? I think you get the general idea.

The next time I had a project I did some research and found a highly respected company with a lot of great reviews. So, this is what I have to say about Ryan and his crew. They were on time, trustworthy and very respectful. With a huge job facing them they managed to finish in just a few days and made it look like new! The job they did was above and beyond what I expected! I could not ask for a better or more reliable crew. They did a fantastic job and their professionalism shined through. Thank you so much!
