Deck restoration at Magic Touch covers the whole job: cleaning the wood, stripping what is left of the old finish, repairing what needs it, and brushing on new stain by hand. We have worked out of our Quakertown shop since 1997. Long enough to see what Upper Bucks weather does to a deck in five years, and in fifteen.
Plenty of people searching for deck restoration near me just want the gray gone before a graduation party. Others have soft boards and a railing that wobbles. We handle both, and we will tell you plainly which one you have.
If the siding needs attention too, our Quakertown power washing work can happen on the same visit.
Call us today to set up a look at your deck.
Every deck starts with a wash. Our products do not harm plants or animals, which matters when the deck sits over flower beds or the dog lives out there all summer. It is the same approach we use for house power washing, so the two often get booked together.
Next comes deck stain removal. Old stain that has peeled in patches has to come off, or the new coat will peel right along with it. Then we stain with a water-based product in the color you pick, brushed into the cracks and end grain instead of sitting on top like a sprayed coat. Painted railings or trim around the deck go to our house painters on the same schedule.
Green and black growth on boards that never dry out. Decks on the wooded lots out toward Lake Nockamixon are the usual suspects, because the shade keeps them damp well into the afternoon. Gray, splintered wood on decks that bake in full sun. Stain that let go after one winter because it was sprayed over dirt.
Some decks need more than deck refinishing. Loose boards, rotted stair treads and soft posts are common deck repair jobs, and we can fix, replace or rebuild those sections before we wash and stain. Larger wood work moves over to our carpentry services.
*Note: Decks must be at least one year old before stain can be applied.
We look at the deck before we price it. Board condition, how the old finish is failing, what is planted underneath. Wood deck restoration goes wrong when every deck gets blasted the same way, so deck pressure washing is done at a pressure the wood can take, and soft spots get marked before anyone starts spraying.
We are a family-run team of four. The people who answer the phone are the same small crew that works on your deck.
Plan on the deck being off limits for a bit. We clean first, and the wood has to dry before stain goes on, so a full job can run across more than one day depending on the weather. Clearing off grills and furniture beforehand speeds things up.
When we finish, the color should be even, the stain should be down in the gaps, and nothing in your garden should be worse for it. Small fixes elsewhere, like a sticking screen door, can go on the list for our handyman services.
We do not publish prices, because no two decks are the same size or in the same shape. A small platform that only needs a wash and stain is a very different job from a two-level deck with rotted treads. A deck that only needs cleaning can be added to a house wash. Call 215-529-9805 or stop by the shop and we will give you a number for your deck restoration.
Our shop is at 928 S Old Bethlehem Pike in Quakertown. From there we work on decks in Sellersville, Perkasie, Telford, Souderton, Trumbauersville, Coopersburg and Center Valley, and further out in Doylestown, New Hope, Warrington and Warminster. If you have been searching deck staining near me from anywhere in that stretch of Bucks, Montgomery or Lehigh County, give us a call. Once the outside is done, some customers book house cleaning for the inside.
It depends on sun, shade and foot traffic. Shaded decks that stay damp show growth sooner, and decks in full sun fade faster. Once the wood turns gray or water stops beading on it, it is time for us to take a look. A regular cleaning between stain jobs is the easiest deck maintenance you can do.
Not right away. A new deck must be at least one year old before stain can be applied, so the wood has time to dry out and take the stain properly.
We brush it on by hand. It takes longer, but brushing works the stain into the cracks and gaps that a sprayer skips, and that is a big part of why professional deck staining holds up.
Yes. The products we use do not harm plants or animals, so the beds around your deck and the pets in your yard are fine.
Yes. We can fix, replace or rebuild boards, stair treads and other sections before we wash and stain, so the finished deck looks even from end to end. Call 215-529-9805 and tell us what you are seeing.
