Common questions about wood restoration

Can wood rot always be repaired?

Most wood rot can be repaired if caught before it spreads to structural elements. Deep or widespread rot may require replacing larger sections. We identify the extent during the estimate.

Should I stain or paint my deck?

Stain lets the wood grain show and requires less maintenance over time. Paint provides more color options and better moisture protection but requires more prep to reapply. We help you decide based on your deck condition and preferences.

How long does deck restoration take?

Most decks take 3 to 5 days depending on size, prep needed, and number of coats. Weather can extend timelines since stains and sealers need dry conditions.

Do you handle structural wood replacement?

Minor wood replacement (rotted trim, small siding sections, deck boards) is included in our restoration work. Major structural repairs may require a separate general contractor, though we can coordinate. Our CSLB #603312 covers general building.
