Deck Restoration Company MN

Deck restoration MNAlltimate painting services has been a leader in MN deck restoration since 1997.  Through experience, we’ve learned preparing the deck before the stain is applied is the most important part to make sure the stain adheres to the wood fibers.  Deck restoration in MN can be a fairly tricky process.  There are only certain stains that work effectively considering Minnesota’s extreme climate conditions.  In many cases, our customers have stained their decks with the wrong type of stain so their deck is pealing.  Not only is this an eye sore but once the peeling starts your deck is no longer protected from the elements.

As you can see from the above diagram, when your deck is exposed to the elements the wood breaks down by cupping, splintering or the spread of mildew.  This can all be avoided by properly cleaning your deck and staining it with a high quality sealer.  We’re deck restoration professionals that use industry-leading techniques in deck sanding, chemical treatments, pressure washing and deck staining, insuring your deck is treated with the utmost care.

Here is our list of services for deck restoration in MN:

  • Deck Staining – Application of Minnesota specific high quality stains
  • Deck Sanding – Use of commercial floor sanding equipement
  • Deck Cleaning – Applying solvents and pressure washing

Deck cleaning and sealing in Minnesota

We perform a number of deck cleaning and sealing services. During the evaluation of your deck we explain to you what preparation is nescessary in order to meet your expectations.  You may have previously applied a film forming stain (solid or semi-transparent) and it’s pealing off the deck floor. If this is the case and you would like a penetrative stain which fades as it ages then the previous film forming stain should be removed.  Deck Sanding and stripping is the best way to do this.  In most cases we prefer deck sanding because it not only removes the previous stain but also smooths the surface. Sometimes the use of chemicals are nescessary. These include sodium hydroxide based strippers and alkaline based strippers. Either option is extremely acidic so plants need to be throughly pre-soaked and rinsed after stripping.

Some people think buying a cheap pressure washer and tackling the project themselves will save them money.  This may be the true if you’re a fairly handy person but we’ve seen countless cases where decks have been destroyed by misuse of pressure washing equipement.  Pressure washers aid in doing a thorough job but they are not meant to strip away stains or paints. Attempting to do so will result in stripping away the soft fibers of the wood leaving it splintered and rough.  We’re deck cleaning and sealing contractors with experience using deck sanding equipement and pressure washers since 1997. We know what sanding equipement to use and what pressure washer tips, cleaners and strippers to use when cleaning your deck.
