What Deck Work Includes and What It Fixes

When your deck is repaired and refinished in Cranberry, PA, Boardman, OH, and surrounding areas, the process begins with inspecting the structure for loose fasteners, rotted boards, and areas where the finish has failed. Damaged boards are replaced, protruding nails are reset or replaced with screws, and the entire surface is cleaned with a pressure washer or deck cleaner to remove dirt, mildew, and old finish.


After the surface is prepped and dried, stain or paint is applied in even coats, and a sealer is added to protect against water absorption and sun exposure. Once the work is complete, you will see a smooth, even surface with no splinters, a consistent color across all boards, and a finish that sheds water instead of soaking it in.


This service focuses on the deck surface and visible structure. It does not include foundation or framing repairs, railing replacement, or structural engineering unless arranged separately. Regular refinishing prevents wood rot and keeps your deck safe for foot traffic and outdoor furniture.

What to expect before deck work begins

Homeowners preparing for deck repairs or refinishing often want to know how long the process takes, what prep work is involved, and how soon the deck can be used after the finish is applied.

How long does deck refinishing take?

Most deck refinishing projects in Cranberry, PA, Boardman, OH, and surrounding areas take two to four days depending on the size of the deck and the condition of the wood. This includes cleaning, drying time, staining or painting, and sealing.

What happens if some of the deck boards are rotted?
Rotted boards are removed and replaced with new pressure-treated or composite boards that match the existing deck. The new boards are then prepped and finished along with the rest of the surface.
Why does my deck need to be refinished regularly?
Wood decks are constantly exposed to moisture, sunlight, and temperature changes. Refinishing restores the protective layer that prevents water from soaking into the wood, which causes rot, warping, and splintering over time.
What is the difference between stain and paint for a deck?
Stain penetrates the wood and allows the grain to show through while providing UV and moisture protection. Paint covers the surface completely and offers a uniform color but may peel if the wood expands and contracts.
How soon can I use my deck after refinishing?
You can walk on your deck within 24 to 48 hours depending on temperature and humidity. Full curing, which allows for furniture and heavy use, typically takes three to five days.
