Refinishing a wood deck is a great summer project that will improve your outdoor living space and extend the life of your deck. And your deck is a significant investment in your home.
Last week I described how to brighten a deck. This week I'll describe the entire deck refinishing process.
Deck refinishing includes several steps such as:
- inspection,
- basic deck board repair and replacement
(if needed), - initial deck board cleaning,
- deep cleaning with a power washer,
- sanding,
- staining / sealing and
- and of course, the celebration holiday BBQ!
There are several tricks and tips I outline for you in How to Refinish a Wood Deck to make short work of this project and get you professional looking results. I'll give you specific product recommendations and lead you through a very detailed and photo packed tutorial of each step in the refinishing process.
If you missed having a sparkling deck this 4th of July, then start soon so your deck is ready for Labor Day, and celebrate the holidays on your new refinished wood deck and enjoy the rest of the summer!
