What Is Deck Resurfacing?

Prolonging the Life of Your Outdoor Space

Over time, wear and tear from the Charlotte elements will leave your deck looking tired. Luckily, remodeling isn’t your only choice to restore your space to its former glory. Deck resurfacing is an excellent way to refresh your current outdoor living space.

Here, Deck Plus discusses the deck resurfacing process and its benefits to help you determine if it’s the right project for your Charlotte home.

What Is Deck Resurfacing?

Unlike a full deck remodel, deck resurfacing focuses on removing worn-out surface materials without any significant changes to the structural elements, layout, or design.

Instead, professionals will replace existing surface boards with new decking materials to provide homeowners with great benefits, including improved safety, greater durability, a refreshed look, and increased home value.

What Is the Deck Resurfacing Process?

The process for deck resurfacing is fairly streamlined and can be a fast and efficient way to improve your deck without paying for a full remodel. From start to finish, the project includes:

• Initial assessment: We’ll assess your deck for rot, loose boards, and more.
• Materials: Our experts will help you select the best deck material for your project.
• Site preparation: Next, we’ll clear and prepare the deck and surrounding areas.
• Deck cleaning: We’ll thoroughly wash the deck to remove mold and mildew.
• Replacements: After preparing the deck, we will replace all damaged and worn-out boards and secure any loose nails or screws.
• Resurface: Our experts will apply a deck resurfacer or coating for extra protection.
• Curing: The time it takes a deck to cure can vary depending on your materials. Our team will explain this step, ensuring you understand when your deck will be ready for use.

Signs You Need Deck Resurfacing

If you’re looking for an instant facelift for your existing deck, resurfacing may be the answer. We recommend homeowners consider this option if they’re struggling with:

• Visible damage: From cracked to peeling boards, wear and tear from the elements can significantly impact the overall aesthetics of your deck.
• Stains or discoloration: Deck resurfacing can get rid of water stains along with issues like mold and mildew growth or difficulty cleaning.
• Frequent repairs: If you frequently need to repair boards or loose hardware, it may be time for a full resurfacing project.
• Safety issues: Damaged boards can be a tripping hazard, while splinters or cracks can cause injuries when barefoot.
• Dullness: An inconsistent finish or overall dull appearance can take away from the beauty of your deck and outdoor living space.
• Water damage: Buckling or warped boards on the surface of your deck should be replaced, and the entire deck should be resurfaced if water is quickly absorbed instead of beading on the surface.
