Local Expertise & Deck Prep Tips
✔️ Why Deck Sanding Matters in Connecticut
CT’s harsh winters and humid summers cause wood to expand, contract, and degrade—sanding & priming prevent peeling and patchy stain jobs.
✔️ Our Superior Prep Process
We strip old coatings, deep sand, apply a bonding primer, and ensure every inch is prepped for flawless adhesion.
✔️ Maintenance Tips After Prep & Staining
Clean your deck yearly and reapply topcoat every 2–3 years for best protection.
