It is essential to know and understand the characteristics of redwood when performing restoration and finishing.

What is Teak Master’s Process for Redwood Deck Restoration?

Our redwood deck restoration process involves a thorough evaluation of your deck. If your redwood deck has weathered gray in color, it needs to be cleaned to remove oxidation and surface dirt. Deteriorating finishes need to be removed with use of chemical stripper. If your redwood deck has not been thoroughly prepped, the finish will not adhere correctly. Sanding is the next step in our redwood deck refinishing process. Intensive drum sanding will take off a small layer of wood resulting in a new appearance and smooth texture. The wood will then be bleached to promote color and prevent mold. By now your redwood deck will have its original pink color and look like the day it was built. Semi-transparent sealers specifically formulated for redwood decking will be applied to the wood. These sealers penetrate deep into the wood’s surface with use of natural solvents such as linseed oil and tung oil.

Redwood Deck Maintenance Program

After your deck has been restored periodic maintenance is required to keep it looking its best. Redwood by nature is softer than the average hardwood and will accept finishes better. This results in our protective coatings lasting longer periods of time. Redwood decks typically need to be recoated in 1 to 2 years. A common characteristic of most of our finishes is to fade over time. When the finish starts to lighten in color then it is time to reseal. Our maintenance program involves simple follow up by contacting you letting you know it is time to reseal.
