Your deck should be a place to relax, entertain, and enjoy the outdoors—not an eyesore or a safety hazard. Over time, exposure to sun, rain, and foot traffic takes a toll on even the most well-built decks. Fading, splintering, mildew, and structural wear are all signs it’s time for restoration.
In this blog, we walk you through what deck restoration includes, why it matters, and how EPOSTA Services helps homeowners across New Jersey fall in love with their decks again.
Signs Your Deck Needs Restoration
- Grayed or faded wood
- Surface mildew or algae buildup
- Warped or splintered boards
- Loose nails or screws
- Water not absorbing (or absorbing too fast)
If you notice any of these, your deck likely needs more than a simple cleaning.
Our Deck Restoration Process
1. Inspection and Prep
We assess your deck’s condition, noting any structural issues, water damage, or safety concerns. Then we:
- Remove furniture, planters, and décor
- Sweep and clear debris
- Protect nearby surfaces and landscaping
2. Deep Cleaning
We use soft washing and deck-safe cleaning solutions to remove mildew, algae, and old stains without damaging the wood. This opens the wood grain and preps the surface for treatment.
3. Repairs and Surface Prep
We tighten fasteners, replace damaged boards, and lightly sand rough areas to ensure an even finish. This step is critical for longevity and safety.
4. Staining or Sealing
Once dry, we apply a premium oil-based stain or sealer to restore color and protect the wood from UV rays and moisture.
- Transparent and semi-transparent finishes available
- Custom color options on request
5. Final Walkthrough
We inspect every inch with you to ensure the work meets our standards—and yours.
