"I have an oversize corner lot with a large yard and a good amount of grass to go with it. D&E Lawn care was quick to respond and worked diligently to take care of mowing, trimming and edging on my property. Amazing work, I will definitely hire again, thank you so much!"

"Jim and Josh were very professional, honest, and great to work with. The deck with a screened in area was well-worn and needed repairs as well as cleaning and staining. They did it all, and they do have helpers as needed along the way. They even did the wood table and benches, and a wooden deck chair. Excellent job!!! We will have them back anytime we need a hand!"

"Needless mistakes. The ladder he used made dents and scratches in the hardwood floors. He did not use the proper paint for the bathrooms. As a result, the paint used is peeling in both bathrooms. The wallpaper removal was a disaster. The walls were blemished in many areas. Walt's a nice guy, but not a pro."

"Nate and John got back to me quickly to set up time for an estimate. We decided to use them, and they were able to start later that week. They worked hard to get the old stain off with power washing and scrubbing. Then two days later they returned to repair the railings and put the new stain on. They sanded down rough spots and put two coats of stain on. It looks beautiful, and two days later when it rained the rain beaded up on the deck just like in a commercial! We're very happy. <br />"

FAQs for deck, fence, patio or porch clean and seal projects in Effort, 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.
