St. Louis Deck Refinishing & Staining

Deck refinishing and staining is a very popular service performed by St. Louis power washing contractors today but it is not done properly in most situations. The most important factor in deck cleaning is surface preparation. Great surface preparation is the KEY to outstanding results. Prep right, and the deck will turn out GREAT. Rush through prep, skip a step (or two) to save money and/or time, and the deck won’t look nearly as good.  We at Kennedy Painting take our time in the work we do.  Deck wood on patios turns a grayish color after being exposed to a harsh St. Louis winter for a couple of years. Our deck refinishing and staining team will expose the beauty of the natural wood grain which is being masked by dirt, tree sap etc.

This cleaning will also curtail premature wood rot and decay which would be much more expensive to remedy.

The Importance Of Staining Your Deck

A major source of problems and complaints for all wood finishes is over-application of the coating. Many do-it-yourselfers believe that when it comes to coating, more is better. This is simply not the case and is particularly a problem for decks. Most deck finishes are designed to penetrate the surface of the wood. Putting too much of these coatings on the wood leads to a buildup of material, forming a film which can ultimately peel or crack. For water repellant products, over-application can result in a surface which is overly waxy, sticky, or slick. Over-applied stains will often result in sticky surfaces, since the coating buildup interferes with their ability to dry properly.  If you would like to have your deck last for years to come and look the same way it did when you built it, then having Kennedy Painting is the way to go.
