"Mike did an excellent job in repairing my 30+ year old deck by removing all deck boards, railings and stair stringers and installed all new PT lumber. In addition, he replaced all joist hangers. I am very pleased with how the deck turned out."

"I hired JDW Property Solutions and paid $3,500 for an unacceptable fence. The pickets were installed directly in contact with the ground, ignoring the directions on the boards. When mentioned, the alternative was to have them 6 in. above ground. The horizontal boards are uneven- some being flush, others higher/lower causing the back to look sloppy. There are parts where they pieced the horizontal boards together, being sure it was where I probably wouldn't see. They started with 6 screws per board but then dropped to 4 (a couple only have 2) raising serious concerns about durability. The boards were not pressure treated, which I paid for, and was built with 2 horizontal supports where 3 are needed, so warping is likely. Not all materials I paid for were used but they took them all at the end, and even a quick job for a neighbor (which he paid for) was never done. If the pictures don't speak for themselves, feel free to stop by to see. This is not professional, it's careless."

FAQs for deck, fence, patio or porch clean and seal projects in Dover, PA

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.
