Any advice for sealing my deck?
I have been told to stay away from products containing paraffin. Any other advice?
Yes that crappy old Thompson water seal is mainly paraffin and one of the biggest mistakes you can make your deck .. As Sherwin Williams suggested "woodscapes" is good .. but I prefer "Cuprinol, which also sells Sherwin Williams ….

Having your deck properly cleaned and sealed is essential to its longevity. Cleaning and sealing a deck should not be a one time thing, but to do every two years. Most professional deck cleaning companies will offer a maintenance program of the deck so that your wood deck looks good all the time and lasts for years. In this article we answer some common questions homeowners have regarding maintenance of the deck.
What soon can I get my new deck cleaned and sealed? Many people have heard that you should let your deck "dry" for a year before cleaning and seal. This is a myth and truth be told, most of the damage is done to your deck in the first 6 months or so.
After 12 months, the wood can be split and cracked from water damage and have turned gray from the Suns harmful UV rays. At this point it's not too late to keep it clean and protected, but the sooner the better.
A professional restoration company cover can take readings of moisture in the wood and let you know for sure when your deck is ready to be sealed. Usually within 1-3 months, depending on weather and location of the deck, which will be ready for proper cleaning and some deck sealer.
Is it possible to restore a deck that has aged? Depending on the situation of an old deck can be brought back to life. While the joints are severely deformed or rotten get rid of all the fibers of the gray dead wood is not a problem. Some sanding may be necessary before it is sealed and your deck contractor can provide these services too.
Even if there is any structural damage a deck contractor could probably do some repairs for you before you have to be cleaned and sealed. A quality deck cleaning contractor should be able to make an assessment of your deck before attempting to restore, that way you know what to expect.
I clean and seal my deck? It is possible for a do-it-yourselfer to restore their own deck, but I recommend having some knowledge of chemicals used and experience in the use of a pressure washing unit. The wood is actually very soft when hit with too much water pressure, you can mark easily and scars. Some people do not realize all the skill and knowledge that is essential in restoring adequate cover and sometimes you get a friend's family member do it for them.
Once again I would not recommend leaving any experience of playing without its cover. When a wooden deck is cleaned and sealed improperly it only cost you more money to be fixed and done right next time.
Can I seal my deck without washing? The answer to this question is NO, unless you want the sealer to penetrate properly and last. The number one reason a sealer is not because the wood is not prepared properly. Even a very expensive sealer is not going to do their job unless the wood has been properly prepared.
Specialty Chemicals should be used to remove dead fibers, dirt, mold and other pollutants, and everything must be cleaned with low water pressure for timber is not damaged. In some cases, a stripper deck sealant is used to remove a sealer is not old, it is important to remove all traces of old sealers so the new sealant can adhere to the wood.
More often, Most sealants do not adhere to each other and some sealers will not even adhere to itself after a certain amount of time. Contractors using appropriate extraction technique will depend heavily on their chemicals to do the job so the right amount of pressure drop can be used.
After the cleaning process or peel a neutralizing step is then necessary. The reason for this is because the cleaner or stripper used is considered a caustic and leave the wood with a high pH level. Deck sealer does not adhere well or properly in this situation. A neutralizer is sprayed into the timber to lower the pH and let the wood more acidic so that the sealant protects and finally a couple of years, as expected.
Deck restoration and maintenance is a wonderful service when done well, it saves a lot of money to protect their living space added. Please understand that not all deck cleaning companies have the proper knowledge, as than any other sector are the ethical companies out there trying to make money, so be sure to ask the contractor what their methods and techniques for can get the service you expect.
