Southern Home Wood Deck Cleaning in Richmond, VA. Owner, Joseph Sowell has been cleaning and sealing wood decks for thirty years. This week, we got to work on a deck for a client we have been working for for about fifteen years, Theresa Bowles Cox. She is a wonderful friend at this point, she and I speak regularly on Facebook Chat. Anyhow, her deck had become worn looking and needed a recoat. It turned out nice.
