Master Finish

After 20 years spent building, repairing, and cleaning decks, Larry Strawbridge knows all too well that protecting a porch takes more than a paintbrush and pail of sealant. His four-part premium wood-service package begins as he strips peeling stain and paint from wood, using cleaners and environmentally friendly solutions. Then, he waterproofs slats from the inside out, using a blend of silicone and cedar oils that push any water droplets to the surface. A sealer further enhances the waterproof barrier before a final layer of stain graces the deck with visual appeal. Though this is considered his top-of-the-line treatment, Strawbridge also performs the individual steps—washing, cleaning, staining, and painting—separately. He pairs each with a lifetime guarantee, so long as the deck doesn't suffer from pre-existing conditions such as rotten, splintered wood or gout.
