Why Deck Staining matters in EDINA
Edina decks face many of the same challenges seen across the Twin Cities, but mature lots, shade, and seasonal moisture can make proper preparation even more important. Over time, wood decks can fade, dry out, peel, splinter, or begin to break down faster than many homeowners expect. A properly refinished deck is not just about fresh color. It is about cleaning the wood correctly, removing failing coatings when needed, preparing the surface, and applying the right stain system for the condition of the deck.
Our Deck Refinishing Process IN EDINA
At Twin Cities Resurfacing, our full deck refinishing process is designed to ensure proper preparation and long-lasting results. In Edina, decks surrounded by mature trees and landscaping often need careful cleaning and preparation before stain is applied. Our process typically includes:
Surface Preparation: The deck is cleaned using an oxygenated bleach solution that is safe for surrounding surfaces, removing dirt, mildew, and organic build up. Depending on the condition of the wood, old coatings or failing stain may need to be stripped or sanded before refinishing.
Professional Staining: A high-quality penetrating stain is applied to protect the wood and enhance its appearance. Proper preparation ensures the stain adheres correctly and performs well through Minnesota’s seasonal weather conditions.
