Mangaris deck restoration is a service that we provide because we ARE headquartered in the city of Los Angeles. It is always best to hire a local company that understands the different climates of Los Angeles.

Teak Cleaning

admin — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 09:00:22 +0000

What is teak furniture cleaning? The exact definition of teak furniture cleaning will vary depending on who you ask. Many people define teak cleaning as simply removing dirt, mold, and oxidation off of outdoor teak furniture. There are several ways to “clean” teak furniture. The most common way is by simply using a little elbow grease and mild soap and water. Results of the average homeowner who performs their own teak cleaning will obviously vary. The most difficult part of cleaning teak is getting in between all the slats and moving parts. Only a true teak professional has the knowledge and skill to clean all parts of teak furniture without damaging it. Yes, it is possible to damage outdoor teak furniture. Over cleaning can result in a “furry” appearance on the surface of the teak wood. Over scrubbing or even power washing can leave deep grooves in the grain of the wood.

Many clients who are interested in having their teak furniture cleaned want a raw, natural appearance. Clients that prefer teak cleaning generally do not want a protective finish on the surface of their teak furniture. They merely want a clean look and also want a clean surface to sit and dine on.

Cleaning teak furniture to promote a gray or oxidized look is another definition to take a look at. Many of our clients prefer a gray look for their outdoor teak furniture. The oils in teak wood will naturally oxidize when exposed to sunlight. The grain also tends to lift and dirt and mold can embed itself in the grain. Teak is naturally susceptible to mold if it is used outdoor unprotected. Our teak cleaning services to promote the gray or oxidized look of teak furniture will remove dirt and mold from the woods’ surface. The gentle cleaning will leave the natural oxidation while alleviating dirt and mold from the wood.

Ipe Siding Refinishing

admin — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 08:30:08 +0000

Ipe siding refinishing can be a challenge without the proper experience. Building contractors and architects throughout Southern California have been implementing the use of Ipe siding into their designs for years. Ipe siding adds a sustainable approach when building homes. Ipe is a great choice for siding because of its strength, durability and color.

The best way to keep the natural color of Ipe siding is to coat it with the right finish from the beginning. Proper coating is essential because Ipe needs constant attention to keep it looking fresh and new. The hard dense Ipe wood is high in oil content and does not allow many finishes to adhere and penetrate. We have years of experience protecting, refinishing, and maintaining Ipe siding for hundreds of clients. Our hands on experience has allowed us to narrow down the best protective coatings for Ipe siding. Our finishes leave the wood looking natural and matte while preventing it from the harsh effects of weathering.

Our service includes the use of scaffolding to get to those hard to reach places.

What is the best time of year to have my teak furniture refinished?

admin — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 09:38:43 +0000

One of the most commonly asked questions we field this time of year is, “What is the best time of year to have my teak furniture refinished?” There are a few factors to consider when answering this question. The main factor to consider is that we live in Southern California where we normally enjoy pleasantly mild weather year round. Of course there are years where we receive higher rain amounts than normal, but for the most part we enjoy close to 300 days a year of beautiful sunshine. Mild weather and sunshine means more people spend time outside dining and lounging at the pool.

The holidays and special events are another factor to consider when deciding whether or not it is a good time to refinish your teak furniture. Major Fall holidays such as Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Day are a great reason to spend time outdoors enjoying your newly refinished teak furniture. Your family and guests from out of town will thank you for providing a clean and comfortable place to dine and relax. Super Bowl, MLK, and Easter are also great reasons to have your teak furniture refinished. Summertime holidays such as Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Graduations, and Labor Day are the most cherished holidays that are typically spent outside.

The best time of year to have your teak furniture refinished is when you have decided you are tired of looking at the shabby teak investment in your yard. The best time to have your teak furniture refinished is when you are ready. We always have great weather in Southern California and it is a great time to refinish year round because of all the holidays and events.

How To Care For Your New Mangaris Deck

admin — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 08:30:43 +0000

Your new Mangaris deck needs periodic care to keep it in stellar condition. If you want to preserve the original color of the wood, it needs to be sealed with one week after being built. More than one week of exposure to the elements can cause the wood to oxidize and the grain to lift.

Mangaris wood should be coated by a professional that has hands on experience protecting Mangaris decks. Sealers are the best way to preserve Mangaris decks. The sealers penetrate deep into the dense wood providing great UV protection.

After the wood has been sealed properly, it should be blown off with a leaf blower to remove dust and debris. After a few months have passed, a more thorough cleaning may be required. Use a mild solution of Simple Green and water to clean. Use a tradition mop to clean the surface and hose off. Your Mangaris deck should be resealed at least once a year to keep it from graying and needing restoration.

admin — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 09:45:58 +0000

Children’s outdoor play sets or play gym’s that are made of wood need periodic care to keep them safe and ready to use. Wooden outdoor play sets are often made of redwood, cedar, or Douglass fir. Most children’s wooden play sets have a protective coating applied by the manufacturer. The main function of this protective coating is to keep the wood looking its best while maintaining a smooth texture back to the wood.

All play set wood types will eventually need to be cleaned, sanded, and recoated to keep them safe.

Our process for restoring and maintaining children’s play sets is as follows. We begin with a mild surface clean to remove dirt and previous finish. Sanding is the next step in our process and one of the most important. Sanding ensures a smooth splinter free texture is restored back to the wood’s surface. Special sanding attention is given to areas where hands and feet may touch with normal use such as railings, tree house, flooring, swings, slides, and climbing areas. The wood will brightened to promote color and eliminate mold.

Applying the protective coating is the final step in our children’s play set restoration process. We offer a wide array of color to choose from. We offer different opacities such as semi-transparent, semi-solid, and solid depending on the look you are trying to achieve. Non toxic soy, water based, and tung oil based finishes are suggested.

How to Install Chair Glides on Your Teak Furniture

admin — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 08:00:14 +0000

Have you ever asked yourself why teak furniture manufacturers do not put chair glides on the bottom of their products? It seems like installing chairs glides on teak furniture is essential to keeping your furniture stable and in one piece. Chair glides are usually made of hard nylon or synthetic material so they can glides along any surface and protect the bottom of chair and table legs. Glides are great because they lift the legs off the ground so the wood is not sitting in water when it rains.

When choosing the right chair glides for your furniture make sure its circumference is as large as the leg will allow without going past the edge of it. This will ensure that the glide is not too small for the piece and will not break. We find that the chair glides that are best for teak furniture can be tapped right into the wood. These are usually nylon glides with a metal nail in the middle of it. It is always best to tap a hole prior to inserting the glide so the wood will not split. Tap the glide slowly until it is flush with the wood. Contact Teak Master with any questions or to install chair glides in your teak furniture.

How to Clean Your Outdoor Teak Furniture Cushions

admin — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 08:55:03 +0000

Cushion care for teak furniture can be painless. Generally outdoor teak furniture manufacturers make their cushions with Sunbrella fabric or fabrics that are similar. Fabrics like Sunbrella are made of 100% solution dyed acrylic which means that they can be cleaned easily. Acrylic fabrics are similar to plastic so dirt and other contaminants do not penetrate because it is not a natural fabric like cotton.
The best way to clean your outdoor teak furniture cushions is to remove them from the furniture. It is always best to do the work on a warm sunny day so the cushions will dry in a timely manner. A light detergent such as Simple Green or even dish soap is great to clean your teak furniture cushions. Only a small amount of soap is needed to clean the cushions. Too much soap will leave rings on the cushions once they dry. Use a plastic bristle brush to scrub. Scrub the entire cushion. It is always best not to take the cushion filling out as it may be difficult to place them back into the fabric. The cushions are designed to allow water to flow directly through them so cleaning the cushion as a whole is fine. Repeat the scrubbing process as needed depending on how soiled the cushion may be. Hose off the fabric repeatedly to remove soap and dirt. Stand the cushions on end to drain and place in sun. Do not put the cushions back on your teak furniture until they are completely dry.
We are experts in cleaning teak furniture cushions. If you would like to have you teak furniture cushions professionally cleaned or even have new cushions made, contact Tim Gilliam at Teak Master for estimates.

When Should You Seal New Teak Furniture?

admin — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 08:46:08 +0000

When the wood is outside unprotected it is essentially naked. Without protection the wood can develop mold which may be difficult to remove.

There seems to be a myth when it comes to when you should sealing new teak furniture. Some say to wait a couple weeks and others say to wait a few months. Both of these suggestions are false. The can only be one reason why anyone would wait to seal their new teak furniture. Teak wood is naturally high in oil content. Waiting a few weeks could possible let some of these natural oils dissolve therefore letting the sealer penetrate better. The fact of the matter is that only the surface oils will dissolve leaving the wood rough and the color faded.

Sealing new teak furniture from the beginning will keep the smooth texture of the wood while maintaining its color. Quality teak sealers will penetrate through the hard teak wood even if it is high in oils content. New teak furniture may need to be resealed in about 6 to 12 depending on exposure to the Nature’s elements. Take a look at our sealing new teak furniture section on our website for our process and sealer choices.

How To Care For Your Newly Restored Wood Deck

admin — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 08:00:41 +0000

After your wood deck has been restored back to new condition, the care for it is simple. The dirt, mold, and oxidation have been removed from your deck and a new finish has been applied. Our finishes make maintaining and cleaning your wood deck a breeze. The best way to keep your newly restored deck clean is to periodically blow it off with a leaf blower. Blowing your deck off with a leaf blower will remove dust and debris that is sitting on the surface of the wood. This process should be done once a week for best results. We recommend having your gardening service blow off your wood deck when they visit.

Your deck can be gently cleaned with a mild mixture of Simple Green. The best way to clean is to scrub your deck is with a soft mop. After the entire deck has been mopped, simply hose the excess debris off with a hose. Never use heavy degreasers or tsp as these products can remove the protective coating. Wipe off excess water with a towel or blow it off with your leaf blower. It is best to clean when temperatures are below 90 degrees and not in direct sunlight.

If you would prefer to have your wood deck professionally cleaned, give us a call and we can do it for you! Feel free to contact us at any time for cleaning suggestions or to set up a cleaning schedule.

Redwood Deck Refinishing Los Angeles

admin — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 08:00:43 +0000

What is Teak Master’s process for redwood deck refinishing in Los Angeles? We start our redwood refinishing process by evaluating your deck in person. We are located in Los Angeles so scheduling same day or next day estimates is easy. It is always best to hire an experienced redwood deck refinishing that is located in Los Angeles because your deck will need to be periodically cared for after the initial refinishing has been performed.

Once we have seen your redwood deck, we can formulate the correct procedure to refinish it back to new condition. If your redwood deck has simply weathered gray in color we will start our refinishing process by cleaning off the surface dirt and mold. If your redwood deck has varnish, oil, or a film forming finish, we will first strip off the existing coating.

The next step in our redwood deck refinishing process is the step most so called redwood deck professionals skip. It involves sanding. Sanding is the second step in our redwood deck refinishing process. Our drum sanders take a fine layer of wood from your deck leaving a fresh new appearance. We fine tune our sanding by hand with smaller sanders. Sanding redwood decks in Los Angeles ensure a smooth texture is restored to the redwood while allowing the sealer to penetrate correctly.

Your redwood deck will then be bleached and brightened to even and promote the natural color of the redwood. The brightening process will also eliminate and prevent mold and mildew on your redwood deck.

The final step is applying the protective coating. We recommend using our high quality redwood sealers to enhance the beautiful grain of the wood. The sealers come in different shades of natural colors. We also offer a wide array of semi transparent and semi solid stains depending on the opacity you request. We will walk you through the different redwood finishes we provide in our consultation.
