One of the best ways to clean the surface of a dirty, weathered deck or fence is to power wash it with a high pressure water sprayer or pressure washer. While the process of pressure washing is pretty simple, those that are inexperienced in working with wood can seriously damage the surface of a deck, adding more work and expense into the deck cleaning process.
Once your deck is carefully washed or sanded to reveal a like-new finish, Diesel Decks finishes the job with the application of a high quality sealant or your choice, although we do recommend TWP products. This crucial step protects your wood deck or fence from water, sun damage, dirt and foot traffic for up to two years.
How much sealer do you apply to a deck? More is better, right?
Do-it-yourselfers often make mistakes in this crucial step, applying too much or too little of a low-quality deck sealer which leads to a sticky, gooey finish. Other mistakes lead to messy overspray or the application of traditional paints instead of a high quality deck stain. This can lead to an unattractive finish, premature weather damage, and worst of all, the risk of having to start all over again.
Deck sanding is a process that we use to prepare the deck for restoration. If your deck is experiencing issues such as mildew, cracking, fading, and splintering, the sanding process can help make it better. Sanding can also remove any old finish if you want to change the color of your deck.

Our primary objective is keeping quality decks in great shape for years to come. Most of the time this requires the processes outlined above. Unfortunately, sometimes water damage, termite damage, or rot due to inadequate care can lead to boards that cannot be repaired through traditional deck refinishing efforts alone. In these cases, the best option is often to remove damaged wood sections and refinish the deck once rotted wood has been replaced.
