Deck Paint Removal

What This Service Involves

Painted decks are especially prone to peeling in Washington because moisture lifts paint from beneath the film. We use a paint remover matched to the coating so the old paint softens and lifts without shredding the wood underneath. The bared surface is then washed, neutralized, and brightened to ready it for a durable new finish. Full paint removal is what lets the next coating bond to wood instead of failing over a compromised layer.
