Wood has been used in construction projects since the beginning of time. It continues to be a popular component in architectural design today because of its versatility, beauty and durability, but only if it is treated properly. Restoring wood or concrete surfaces can be a budget-friendly solution to many project challenges such as ambitious deadlines, historic preservation regulations or simply meeting client expectations. Whether a designer, builder or provider of maintenance services, professionals know the value and importance of proper care and maintenance of wood. Investing in the correct tools and products will save time and money.
With experienced labor, proper tools and the right selection of coatings, wood deck restoration is about one-fifth the cost of replacement. To ensure a restoration project doesn’t become a maintenance nightmare, finishing professionals should take the time to select the right coating. When selecting a coating, they need to consider wood’s enemies – moisture, insects, heat, weathering, along with natural wear and tear. The right coating will not only provide a barrier to these destructive elements, it will help restore the texture and beauty of a weathered wood surface.
