Richardson Painting & Pressure Washing in North Olmsted

Your deck should be an outdoor living space where you gather with friends and family—not a place you have to worry about maintaining or a space that could cause injury. That’s why after we pressure wash your deck we stain and seal it. The staining process begins with the deck sealing. These two layers, when done correctly and properly maintained, will ensure your home has a great looking deck for years to come.

Whether you just need the deck pressure washed or want your deck painted, proper maintenance of your deck will ensure its long life. Your deck gets more use year after year. Foot traffic and our Cleveland area weather take its toll, especially with our nasty winters. Your deck needs some TLC each spring to get it looking its best.

When your wood deck is not properly sealed, stained or protected, rain, morning dew, and even melting snow are quickly absorbed by the unprotected wood, causing it to swell and soften. The sun’s heat causes drying, which makes the wood contract and shrink. These cycles of wet and dry, swelling and shrinking, cause wood to warp, split and crack. Consequently, this can result in a shorter life span or will require expensive deck repairs or replacement. This is why we recommend sealing your deck once it has been power washed. All wooden items such as fences, gazebos, and playground equipment also benefit from power washing and treatment. Additionally, there are benefits in power washing your home’s brick or siding and patios and pavers.
