DECK SEALING AND WATERPROOFING

For deck owners, the battle against the damaging effects of weather, particularly temperature fluctuations and moisture, is ongoing.

Backyard decks can create so many wonderful memories. They are perfect for holding outdoor parties and for many other situations. But, the wooden surface of most decks out there is problematic in the sense that without proper care, your deck ends up ruined.

Decking contractors are your best option when it comes to performing several deck repairs. This does include processes that are needed for deck waterproofing, which is basically guaranteeing that the wood is not going to be damaged by water. While you can save some money with DIY deck sealing Northbrook or deck waterproofing Winnetka, we highly recommend contacting specialists because this is the only way to guarantee deck durability.

Deck Sealing

Deck sealing and waterproofing Lake Forest is very easy to understand. The only problem is that the term is overused these days and several misconceptions appeared about it.

To keep it as simple as possible, deck sealing is the process of sealing the wood in your deck so that external elements do not negatively impact it. This is particularly important when talking about softwood, which is used for most wooden decks out there, like pine. Softwood is more affordable but its durability is lower. It is inferior to hardwood when it comes to UV and moisture resistance. To properly compensate for this problem, deck sealing is utilized. It does have to be reapplied and is not permanent, but it will drastically increase the lifespan of your deck.

Staining Versus Sealing

Since these terms are often confused, it is important to understand that there are differences between them. The big one is that pigment is present in some sealing products. This can color wood as it is applied. With staining, the product used always includes a pigment. Also, there are different moisture protection levels when comparing the two.

If you are interested in 100% deck waterproofing Winnetka or deck waterproofing in Barrington, you absolutely need to use sealing. Stain does not really offer proper moisture protection.

Why Contact Professionals?

As already mentioned, you can do deck waterproofing and deck sealing yourself. However, it is not a good idea. You should contact professionals because:

- They know what they are doing - You can be sure one of our deck repairmen is going to make the best recommendations and choices, based on the unique characteristics of your deck. This ranges from location to the type of wood used.

- They use the right products - You do not have to worry about choosing the best sealing product and you can be sure our licensed repairmen are going to only use high-quality products that will increase the lifespan of your deck.

- Saving money - You might think that going the DIY route is going to save you money. This is only true if you know everything about deck sealing and waterproofing. If you have any lack of knowledge and you are not experienced, the work of the professional is actually cheaper. And, you can be sure that your deck is not going to need serious repairs in the future.
