Deck & Log Handrail Restoration and Maintenance

In most cases the deck and handrail system will need to be media blasted. Decks are usually neglected, and restoration is the only way to bring back the original appearance. All dimensional lumber (Generally Platforms) will be sanded after being media blasted to achieve a smoother surface. The log railings, spindles, posts, etc. will be Osborne brushed to remove any felting of the wood prior to the application of the stain. All deck platforms will be sealed using a high-quality penetrating oil deck stain. Annual maintenance is a must for keeping the wood looking pristine as the deck platforms are very high traffic areas that take on all the elements such as water, sun, snow, etc. that will deteriorate the finish very quickly if not properly maintained.

Log rail systems usually are very susceptible to dry rot! Any dry rot that is detected upon inspection will be addressed immediately to prevent any further damage to the system. Most of the time we can repair/replace the dry rot areas without installing a costly new system.
