There seems to be an issue with understanding how to clean composites, specifically older generation products like Trex. I have been noticing so much misinformation on other Bulletin Boards and Facebook Groups. First, let me get everyone's attention, if you have not been in the business for a...
There has been an issue regarding the use of a pressure washer when cleaning and specifically in Wood Restoration for some time and little to nothing has gotten accomplished over the years. Doesn't this sound familiar, anyway for the "woodies" there seems to be a lot of issues regarding the...

The concept behind Deck Restoration Plus is to be the "Go To Company" after a wood deck, house, log home or any exterior wood structure has been built. It still amazes me that my company is unique in this as there are very few companies that perform these services under one roof. Most customers...
This house is from 1950 and the new homeowners did not know it was a redwood sided house. The restoration of the wood was outstanding and the end result is you can still see the lighter and darker planks. Customer wanted to see the grain and the wood characteristics but also wanted this red...
If you aren't using a moisture meter at this time of year in most areas of the country you are not using the most important piece of equipment in your arsenal. If it is cost there are some cheaper ones that you do not have to break the bank for and will help you tremendously and take the guess...
From the old "Clean Across America" campaign I continue to donate at least one job locally a year to an association, church, or group that is for a good cause and need money for other projects. This year we fixed and restored some playground equipment for a local association that works on...

Some before and after sealing of deck. After pictures aren't so good because of shadows from trees. This deck is one we had been taking care of since it was new about 10 years ago. The homeowner tried it last year and it had Behr on it. Removed that and all the designs in it from the...
This is the first time I have ever had to stop washing and prepping decks in season because of weather. The back log we have due to all the rain has caused us to stop. Very difficult situation as it has a ripple effect on new scheduling. We have plenty of other work to keep us busy and we...
I tried to get the homeowner to let us do the house siding, now that the deck is done hopefully that will be next. Homeowner wanted as light as possible to contrast the house. It previously had a red tinted sealer on it. I love the house and the property too.
