Crockett Wood Deck Removal or Restoration Options

By Admin

Wood deck removal or restoration? Which should you choose? Sometimes, it's easy to tell. For instance, when a wood deck is badly damaged or the structure deteriorating. But, other signs are much more subtle. The good news is, in most instances, you can salvage a deck but if not, there are options for its removal and disposal available to you. Let's take a quick look at the situation.

Wood Deck Removal Options

Wood deck removal is a tough, tough job. It's very labor intensive and time-consuming. You'll need at least a couple of sets of helping hands to do it from start to finish. What's more, you'll need to disposal of the materials. That's a challenge because most trash collection agencies simply do not pick up construction and remodeling debris. So, that means you'll have to deal with it yourself.

Following are some techniques you can use to give an old deck a new lease on life, or to help maintain the look of a new one. A project like this can be done in two days, but it’s best to spread the work over two weekends to ensure the wood is completely dry before you apply stain. --This Old House

Or, you can simply call in a junk hauling service. This way, you don't have to worry about what materials go where. Best of all, you'll avoid the hard work and avoid wasting time carrying it from one location to the next. Plus, you don't have to rent a truck or trailer to get it done.

Now, if that deck still has some life left in it, you can extend it greatly for many more years of use. With just a little strategic TLC, you can refurbish the deck. Here's a helpful overview of the wood deck restoration process:

  • Clear the deck. It all begins with a blank slate. (Also, you need an empty space to work freely and without safety hazards.) Clear the deck of any furniture, cooking equipment, decor, and everything else. Leave nothing on it so you can work without stopping.
  • Repair and replace. Next, you need to inspect every inch of space. Find and replace any hardware and damaged wood board planks. This way, you'll have new materials to last for many years to come.
  • Use a commercial cleaner. Once you've replaced and repaired everything you can find, it's time to go onto the next phase -- a deep cleaning. Use a strong commercial cleaning solution. Then, rise and dry, following the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Stain or paint and seal to finish. To finish the refurbishment, paint or stain the deck, let dry and brush on an additional coat. Lastly, apply a sealant to enjoy the deck well into the future.
