Southern Home Wood Deck in Richmond, VA using BEHR water sealant and stain to refinish a wood deck, www.southernhomedeck.com

I want you to take a look at the transformation that we made take place at Southern Home when we laboriously refinished a deck that had not been loved for fifteen years. Boards had to be replaced, mold and mildew had to be removed, old finish had to be removed, broken pickets beneath the hand-rails needed to be repaired. What a job!

I am going to start with what the deck ended up looking like. But, you need to go back and see the previous posts where I detail how Southern Home Wood Decks in Richmond, VA refinished one of the ugliest decks we have refinished. It was a crew of three men, "T-Roy", "Calvin Sallie" and myself, Joe Sowell. Nobody, and I mean nobody, has talent like my group. Just look.

Above is an example of how somebody can get too close to wood on a deck or fence when they are Pressure-washing the wood. This is not a wanted outcome. You should be cleaning wood using a 25 degree tip. If you are inexperienced and you cut into your wood or somebody else's, you are going to need to fix a mistake like this. The only way is to use a 80 grit piece of sandpaper and when the wood is dry, lightly sand.

This kind of damage can be repaired with simple sanding. If the cuts were much deeper, there may be a need to replace the wood board where the damage occurred. All wood should be cleaned gently and efficiently, and the best way to do that is by applying gentle pressure during the cleaning process, using proper soaps and light chemicals, and then finishing with a high-quality water sealant.

Accidents do happen! The important thing to know is that an accident can be repaired, and understand that all wood can be made to look completely new again. Take a deep breath, shake off any negative feelings, and soon you will be enjoying a beautiful wood deck!
