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.

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.

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.

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.
