Our Process

The science of
restoration

Clean
01

Clean

Debris Removal

We start by blowing off all leaves and debris with a leaf blower, power wash with degreaser then scrubbing the entire deck surface with a stiff brush to remove dirt and buildup, ensuring a clean, ready foundation.

Sand

Surface Preparation

We use professional-grade orbital sanders to strip away years of weathering and grey wood fibers, revealing fresh open grain. Every board is sanded to 80-120 grit for optimal stain absorption.

Stain

Protective Finish

Premium, oil-based stains are hand-applied with precision brushwork. Each coat bonds deep into the wood fibers, delivering rich colour along with UV protection and water resistance built for Ottawa's harsh winters.

Our Product of Choice

Our go-to is
Cabot Australian Oil

Not all stains are created equal. Our preferred product is Cabot Australian Timber Oil, one of the most trusted and premium wood finishing products on the market. Engineered in Australia for extreme outdoor conditions, it delivers a finish that looks stunning and lasts for years. If you have a different product in mind, we're happy to work with your preference.
