Our Deck Staining & Deck Repair Process

Deck Inspection & Estimation

Our deck rejuvenation starts with an in-depth deck inspection, identifying areas of concern and assessing wood condition we identify any repair needs (including bords replacement and full deck rebuilding). 

  • 9Thorough Inspection: We begin by conducting a detailed examination of your deck to identify areas in need of repair and assess the condition of the wood.

Deck Repair
(Boards Replacement or Full Rebuild)

Our dedicated team of skilled carpenters is proficient in handling a variety of deck repairs and refurbishments. Whether you need replacement of individual floor boards, sections of railings, rotten boards, spindles, or posts, we’ve got you covered. Moreover, if your deck requires extensive repairs or a fresh start, we are equipped to fully rebuild it, ensuring longevity and aesthetic appeal.

Deck Pressure Washing & Preparation

Using a carefully adjusted pressure, we eliminate deep-seated dirt, grime and mold. When deeper cleansing or coat removal is necessary, we utilize eco safe paint stripping agents, followed by wood enhancers and neutralizing solutions.

  • 9Deck Sanding: After pressure washing, we strongly advise sanding for most decks (especially for older decks). This process not only smoothens the surface of deck but also enhances the stain's bonding capability, ensuring a lasting finish.

Deck Staining and Sealing

At Core Improve, we exclusively use professional-grade stains and sealers. For the majority of decks we service, staining is meticulously done by hand, leveraging our distinctive technology that ensures impeccable bonding and enduring results. For larger-scale tasks, we utilize an airless sprayer, followed by a back rolling for best finish.

  • 9Final Inspection: Once staining is complete, we carry out a comprehensive walk-through, ensuring any necessary touch-ups are addressed for a flawless finish.

Highly recommend! I had some planks that were not able to be walked on our deck. They recommended replacing them all so we would have no other issues. The deck turned out great and after talking to men that did it, realized they do power washing too. Had them do out back porch, walkway, and fire pit. All of which are over twenty years old and came out looking brand new. The technicians were very professional and accommodating.

We used Core Improve and I was extremely happy with their services. They restored, rebuilt and re-stained our deck. They were efficient yet thoughtful in their work. I came home and there were 8 guys working on our deck the first day and everyone was very professional and had good design ideas. They finished the job on time and really worked with us quickly since we were listing our house and wanted to get this project finished quickly. I also thought their communication was excellent. I definitely recommend their services and would not hesitate to use them again.

Can you match color of my existing deck or home exterior?

Yes we can match color.

The duration depends on the deck’s size, condition, and the extent of repairs needed. Generally, it can take a few days to a week to complete the entire process.

Yes, exterior painting and staining is weather sensetive and might take longer to dry wood before we can stain it. We use special tool – moisture meter which alows us determinate if wood dry enough to stain or not.

How long should I wait before I can walk and bring my furniture back to the freshly stained deck?

Please wait at least 24 hrs before walking and 48 hrs before bring back furniture or allowing pets to walk onto the deck.

Do I need to be home while the painters are working on my deck?

No, it is not required that you be home while the crew is working. It is ideal to have someone there for the start and finish of the project.

Sanding is not a requirement for staining a deck. The sanding process enhances the feel of the deck and can improve the appearance, but sanding is not always required. When preparing your estimate, your local painting team will discuss the best preparation techniques they can do based on the needs of your unique project.

What's the best wat to pick a color for my deck?

If your deck previously stained with a solid color stain, we recommend sticking with a solid shade. If it had a semi-transparent stain, you’re free to select a hue. For solid colors, we suggest procuring a few samples from a Sherwin-Williams store and testing them on your deck for an accurate shade representation, as real-life colors often appear lighter than in catalogs. For semi-transparent choices, an online pick will suffice.

Can I provide a my own stain?

Absolutely! While we value customer preferences, please note that if you provide your own stain, our work will not come with a warranty.
