"We replaced an existing wood deck with composite and it looks absolutely gorgeous-we have received numerous compliments on it and we have spent all summer on it!!! During the install of our deck, we learned Renewit also provides floor refinishing, which we have been meaning to have done, but have been putting off for one reason or another-we decided to go ahead and have our living room refinished. It turned out absolutely stunning and wish we would have done it sooner! Can't say enough good things about the services provided to us-the Renewit crew was dependable, professional and exceeded our expectations with the work they provided. Highly recommend! <br /> <br /> <br />"

Decks have become a very popular, low-cost way to add living space to a home and provide a great space to relax, entertain friends or enjoy outdoor dining. However, like all wood services, they need to be properly maintained. Because wood decks are subject to the damaging effects of weather, it is critical to have your deck cleaned and protected on a regular basis.\n\nA poorly maintained deck quickly turns grey in color as it deteriorates due to dirt, mold and algae, gradually tearing apart the surface of the wood. Soon splinters will form, creating a rougher surface even more inviting to dirt and grime. We also offer a sanding process like no other company, removing old paints and stains.

"I posted last month on a local FB page looking for someone who could salvage our hardwood floors under layers of linoleum, tarpaper, and glue. We had a couple of companies out that said they were not worth salvaging. Uncle Jed’s Hardwood Restoration came out and worked his magic. He specializes in particularly stubborn hardwood repairs. Honest, hardworking, and EXTREMELY well priced. His knowledge and passion for making hardwood look beautiful again is admirable. If you’re looking to save your historic floors, please call Uncle Jed!

FAQs for deck, fence, patio or porch clean and seal projects in Alpena, MI

You should clean your deck before sealing it. Cleaning before refinishing is critical. If you don’t remove dirt and debris, you'll trap moisture in the wood, which prevents the new sealer from working correctly and can lead to costly repairs. Whether you need to sand, power wash, or sandblast depends on your deck's condition.

Sealing and staining your deck are essential maintenance methods that protect and beautify your outdoor space. Stain adds rich color and guards against fading, while sealant fortifies the wood against moisture and weather damage. Wood type, climate, deck age, and the degree of existing damage determine whether your deck benefits from one or both treatments. Using both options extends your deck’s durability and enhances its overall appearance.

Power washing and sealing your deck costs $500 to $1,700. This process combines the removal of stubborn dirt and debris with a protective seal that preserves the wood’s integrity. Effective cleaning eliminates harmful buildup, and a proper seal prevents moisture damage and wood decay, ensuring long-term durability and reducing future repair expenses.

Your deck must be sealed every one to three years to maintain its strength and appearance. Regular sealing is essential to protect the wood against moisture, mold, and harmful UV rays. A consistent sealing schedule prevents rapid deterioration and costly repairs. Inspections should be performed annually to determine if the protective layer remains intact, extending the life of your deck.

Leaving your deck untreated compromises its structural integrity and safety. An unprotected deck rots quickly due to moisture and environmental exposure, which means that neglecting sealing results in rapid decay and expensive replacement costs of $4,125 to $11,650. Sealing your deck is essential for maintaining its durability and protecting your home.

The sealant on your deck dries within a few hours and reaches full cure within 72 hours before regular use. It is essential to wait until the complete curing period to ensure the protective layer fully sets and resists weather and foot traffic. Proper drying guarantees that your deck is fully protected against moisture and environmental damage, ensuring lasting quality.
