Deck Maintenance & Upkeep in Rochester Southeast
Any Rochester homeowner knows that a wood deck can really add to the value and enjoyment of your home. However, a wood deck requires regular maintenance in order to stay in prime condition. First, it’s important to regularly sweep and clean your deck, removing any dirt, debris or leaves. You should also inspect your deck for any signs of damage or wear, and make repairs as necessary. Once a year, you should also give your deck a thorough cleaning with a power washer. This will remove any built-up dirt or grime and help to protect the wood from weathering. By following these simple steps, you can keep your wood deck looking great for years to come.
Deck Staining & Painting Services in Rochester, NY
If you have a deck, fence, patio, or archways around your home, you know that the varying weather elements can take a toll on your wooden surfaces. If you don’t take proper care of them by re-sealing and re-staining at the right times, they can become a costly home maintenance expenditure that can significantly decrease the value of your home. The longer you wait to hire a painting contractor the more expensive this undertaking will become.

Types of Stain Finishes Offered by CertaPro in Rochester SouthEast
Transparent or Translucent
this is what most people think of when looking at stained floors or furniture. They can be clear or tinted but will leave the most natural wood grain showing after being applied. These are usually oil-based products that will penetrate deep into wood surfaces and are single coat applications. Wood MUST be bare to use these products in most situations. These are usually the best products to use on new decks or fences. Colors choices are limited and changing colors will usually require removal of previous coating.
Typical maintenance cycle (horizontal surfaces) = 1-3 years.
Semi-Transparent and Semi-Solid
These products are in between transparent and solid (some wood grain will show through). They are usually water-based and don’t necessarily require removal of previous coatings to be used. Depending on desired outcome and product used, a one or two coat application may be necessary. Changing colors with these stains usually limits options to similar or darker colors from the current coating. Some situations call for a “wet-on-wet” 2 coat application with these products. This consists of applying a second coat before the first coat is fully dry.
Typical maintenance cycle (horizontal surfaces) = 2-4 years
Solid
Solid stains have the same appearance as a paint (no visible wood grain). The bonding process for these stains gives much higher durability to walking surfaces than paint. Solid stains are usually water-based and can be applied over previous coatings. Any color can be made with solid stains. Color changes can be done with solid stains and will generally require at least two finish coats depending on colors. Wear and tear will be more visible with solid stains, but touch-ups are fairly easy to perform..
Typical maintenance cycle (horizontal surfaces) = 3-5 years
