Deck staining & restoration

That grey, splintery deck isn't dead, it's just thirsty. A proper clean and stain brings the timber back to life for a fraction of the cost of rebuilding.

From grey to great

Melbourne sun and rain strip the oils out of decking timber fast. Left alone, boards fade to grey, crack and start splintering, right about the time you want to use the deck again. Restoration is straightforward when it's done in the right order: clean, prep, then feed the timber with a quality stain or oil.

  • Deep clean — dirt, mould and the old flaking finish stripped back so the new coat can actually bond.
  • Prep and repairs — sanding where needed, popped nails and rough edges sorted.
  • Stain or oil — your pick of natural tones, from light spotted gum looks to rich merbau browns.
  • Honest advice — oil-based finishes usually want a refresh every couple of years; Rafael will tell you exactly what you're signing up for.

Worth doing before summer

Deck work books out fast from October onwards, when everyone remembers barbecue season at the same time. Winter and spring are the smart time to get it done: the deck's ready the day the weather turns, and you're not waiting in the queue.
