FAQ

Wood Restoration & Refinishing FAQs

Useful details to review before you price the work.

  1. Most decks are worth restoring rather than replacing, as long as the structure underneath is sound. We check the wood in person before quoting so you know which situation yours is in.

  2. It depends on sun exposure, the finish used, and how many Ontario winters it's already been through. We can recommend an interval once we've seen the deck.

  3. Yes. We check for rot and loose boards as part of the inspection, since finishing over a failing board just hides the problem instead of fixing it.

  4. Yes. Fence restoration uses the same sanding, staining, and oil finishing process as deck work, and the two are often quoted together.

What York Region, ON homeowners ask about wood restoration & refinishing

Usually, provided the structure underneath is sound. We check the wood in person before quoting so you know which situation applies to your deck.

York Region, ON

Deck and fence restoration across York Region, ON

Ontario's freeze-thaw winters are hard on exterior wood. Moisture gets into a finish that's starting to fail, freezes, and takes a bit more of the coating with it each cycle, which is why a deck that looked fine in October can look rough by April. Older housing stock around Newmarket's heritage core and Aurora's downtown carries more of this wear than the newer subdivisions in Vaughan and Maple, where most decks are still within their first several winters.

Sun exposure adds a second variable on top of age. A south-facing deck fades and dries out faster than a shaded one, regardless of how old the house around it is, which is part of what we look at during the on-site inspection before quoting.

Why the inspection comes before the price

A deck or fence can look fine from a distance and still have boards that are soft, cupped, or loose underneath. Sanding and finishing over that doesn't fix it. We check the structure first, because whether a project is a straightforward re-stain or needs board repairs first changes the scope and the price.

Once that assessment is done, sanding, any repairs, and the finish coat all get scoped into one quote, so there is no surprise add-on once the work has started.
