Our new logo, we have been in the process of creating a new logo!

Today it is early March and we have begun to have warmer days in Richmond, VA. How warm? In the mid 60's. But, that is perfect for us! Wood Decks and Wood Fences can be pressure-washed and sealed in these warmer temperatures. And, that is exactly what we have been doing!

This pretty deck was small, but the customer in the Wellesley Subdivision in Richmond, VA, wanted a contemporary look to her back deck. We gave it a good washing, stained it using Sherwin Williams solid stain, and the finish was quite lovely. 

Solid Colors, like these from Sherwin Williams are wonderful for old wood that is very worn. A solid stain can last for five years and you have a great variety of colors to choose from. I particularly like the solid stains from Sherwin Williams.

We use the Sherwin Williams Super Deck product quite often for older wood. The cleaning process is less intense, and easier on the wood.

Aggregate Concrete Cleaning with Professional strength Acrylic Water Sealant "Vocomp-20" by Meadows in Richmond, Virginia, www.southernhomedeck.com

www.southernhomedeck.com

All Aggregate Concrete Surfaces should be routinely cleaned to remove mold and mildew. After cleaning, a quality Acrylic or Petroleum-based water sealant should be used to protect concrete from moisture. Concrete must be dry before applying petroleum-based products. Acrylic water sealants may be applied to a lightly moist surface. 

After the sealant has dried, water is kept above the concrete's surface, as a layer of water-sealant creates a protective barrier. More expensive water sealants like Meadows or Sonneborn are generally going to be petroleum-based. These products will leave a shiny finish on concrete. Some call the appearance a "wet-look". This is beautiful, but it can be slippery sometimes when wet. 

Acrylics are not very noticeable, unless water splatters overtop the concrete surface. Then, some amount of pooling will be obvious. Moisture that seeps deep into the hair-line cracks can destablize the dirt under the concrete slab. This can potentially cause uneveness in driveway slabs. Seal concrete every three years to reduce the potential for cracking.
