Brightening Treatment

What This Service Involves

Cleaning and stripping agents can leave wood looking dull or darkened, and a brightener rebalances the surface to reveal its true, fresh appearance. The treatment also opens the grain on Northwest cedar and other woods so a new stain or sealer penetrates and bonds properly. On concrete and pavers, brightening lifts the last of the dinginess for a noticeably cleaner, more uniform tone. It is the finishing step that makes a restored surface look genuinely renewed.

Benefits

Restores natural color to cleaned or stripped wood; opens the grain so new stain and sealer bond well; lifts residual dinginess from concrete and pavers; delivers a uniform, renewed final appearance

Our Process

1) Confirm the surface is cleaned or stripped and ready; 2) Apply the brightening solution evenly across the material; 3) Allow it to react and restore the natural tone; 4) Rinse thoroughly and inspect for a uniform brightened finish

What Affects the Cost

Surface area receiving the brightener; material type and its condition after cleaning; degree of dulling or darkening to correct; product and dwell time required; whether it precedes staining or sealing

Best Time of Year

Best performed in dry conditions immediately after cleaning or stripping, so the surface can dry evenly before any finish is applied.
