Solid Stain Watersealant by Sherwin Williams, SuperDeck product, Richmond, VA



www.southernhomedeck.com
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.

If you decide that you do not want to do this kind of work yourself, please give us a call at (804)585-8016 and ask for a free quote. If you just have questions about your project, give us a call and we can give you some pointers.

Repairing a Wood Deck and Pressure-washing old wood to make it look new in Richmond, Virginia www.southernhomedeck.com

Pressure-washing and Staining wood decks. Simple carpentry and repair of wood decks.

If you have a wood deck on the back of your home, more than likely at some point, you are going to take a look at it and realize that you have a couple of wood boards that need to be replaced. You probably were planning to do the work yourself, but got really busy with "life" and here it is four years later and the wood is gray, mold and mildew are growing all over it, and you remember being told that it should have water sealant on it, but you never got around to that either. 

That is where we come in. We make old decks look new again! We identify warped wood, or wood that is splitting or cracking and replace those old wood boards with new select wood. We replace your old wood with the finest, Select, freshly-milled wood. This is wood that contains no moisture and can be sealed within a few days, not months.

Then, we speak to you the customer and determine what type of sealant you are looking for. We have products we use everyday, like Sherwin Williams Super Deck, Ready Seal, or Cabot Australian Timber oil. We ask important questions about how you want the wood to look when the work is completed. We help you decide what product looks best for your situation and what you are looking for.

In a few days, you are left with a beautiful wood finish that you will be able to enjoy with family and friends at your next backyard barbeque!

Wood Deck refinished in Richmond, VA by Southern Home. Westover Hills neighborhood. Product used, Cabot Solid Stain. Color: Desert Sand

The following is a wooden deck with a beautiful Trellis in the Forest Hill Neighborhood, Richmond, VA 23225






The solid stain project came out looking great. This project took more stain than you would have thought. A total of four gallons to complete. If you try a project like this, do the proper steps to make your deck look as nice as possible. Prepare the surface by cleaning with the proper chemicals. Let the surface dry. Do not attempt to spray stain onto deck. Finish with brush and roller only. The results speak for themselves.

Staining a Wooden Fence, Woodland Heights neighborhood, Richmond, VA (www.southernhomedeck.com)

We recently cleaned and sealed a wooden fence in Woodland Heights, Richmond, VA. The product, "Ready Seal" cedar color was the choice. The oil base is one of the best products that can be used on wood. Oil helps to condition the wood and it invigorates and conditions the wood, bringing wood fibers closer to one and other and helping condition the wood.

Sherwin Williams "Deckscapes" on an older deck, www.southernhomedeck.com in Richmond, VA




Southern Home Wood Deck, Richmond, VA 23221

(804)585-8016


This was a very challenging wood deck to clean and stain. The customer had used a product from Lowes in the past, a solid stain for wood decks. It was only fair. Two years and the surface looked old and needed to be stained again. I made the suggestion of using a solid stain from Sherwin Williams called "Deckscapes". Truthfully, the stain is such a wonderful product to apply. Sherwin Williams has really upped their game with this product. I love it and highly recommend the finish.

This shot of the deck is right after we had finished coating. It worked out to be one of the most inviting finished products and took the traditional battleship gray color and converted it into a pastel gray color. White handrails completed the final look.

If you need decking painted with a solid stain, please consider Southern Home at (804) 585-8016.

Ready Seal Water Sealant, work by www.southernhomedeck.com, Richmond, VA 23225


www.southernhomedeck.com

Richmond, Virginia 23220

We stained a small bridge that was made of pressure-treated wood. The problem with not using pressure-treated wood is that mildew will grow on it. 

Here are pictures before and after. We cleaned and sealed all other wood in this beautiful hidden garden with Pecan color sealant/stain made by Ready Seal. The two went together beautifully.
