External wood surface - restored or vandalism?

External wood surface

Recovery or vandalism?

You need your deck, cabin, wooden siding, or, for that matter, any surface of a valuable property needs to be restored. It is important to define exactly what you want to do, and then make sure that you or the contractor know how to get the job done. The results you expect from your request. First, we need to define some terms.

Recovery - Returns the behavior of the previous owner, location or condition. The act or process of restoring something to its original state by repair, replacement, cleaning, etc.

Clean - Make [something or someone] free of dirt, marks, confusion, especially washing or brushing. The act of removing dirt from things and places.

Washing - Cleaning by the action of a liquid such as water. Remove [such as dirt] with liquid rubbing or soaking.

Blasting - The shock wave of an explosion [in this case water]. Forced air, gas or gas flow from the opening [in most cases water from a high pressure cleaner].

Intentional Destruction - Deliberate or malicious destruction or destruction of public or private property. Intentional or IGNORANT destruction. Any activity that is considered to be destroying or destroying good things.

Most people want their precious home, deck or other structure to return to a "like new" state. Sometimes this can happen through cleaning, but this is not the case with wood surfaces. The goal of the wood surface is to restore it to the previous conditions as defined above. To this end, we will address other processes used by the contractor. Today you will get different deals indicating that they work on deck or outside wood surfaces, but how do they perform their work? There is a tendency to use "extremely washed" wood surfaces with extreme amounts of chemicals. In most cases, these contractors are actually spraying bleach above the recommended dilution, which brightens the surface and initially "surprise" the results. There are several projects of this process, BLEACH does not clean it to alleviate and repair mold and mold. Soap and detergent are clean. When these contractors bleach your wood with too strong a solution, it can damage the landscape and other environments. Excessive use of bleach can result in leaving it in the wood, drying the wood and causing it to decay prematurely. Excessive use of bleaching agents can result in excessive wood surface burning and excessive wood blurring. The contractor who sells this service to you will not sell repair services. They are basically selling your snake oil and taking your money while damaging your property. Look at the vandalism above! The next project on wood restoration is that most of these surfaces are grayed out due to exposure to sunlight. What happens is that these gray surface wood fibers need to be removed under mild pressure or brushing and rinsing. Many contractors who simply use bleach simply lighten the color of these fibers rather than remove them. What happens next is that when you apply a layer of sealant or stain to the surface, it will fail and quickly become a spot. This is because eventually the fibers begin to separate from the wood surface because it is not properly coated. All wood repair contractors know that the best final appearance depends on the progress of the preparation.

There are other contractors who "pressure clean" your wood surface to "recover" them. Although this may not be a bad approach, it is not if it is only used as a flushing tool. In fact, the surface of the wood used with the correct product always requires less than 1000 psi and in most cases requires 600 psi or less. Cork species like cedar require less stress, while hardwood species such as mahogany or Ipe are subject to higher pressures. Many homeowners consider pressure washers to "clean and restore" surfaces. This is a mistake, just ask a neighbor who uses a pressure washer to damage or damage the surface. Let's take a closer look, how is the pressure clean? Too much pressure can damage and can damage your valuable property. The repair process uses detergents, repair agents, strippers, brighteners, etc. to complete the actual work. In fact, the first step is to remove the gray wood fiber or peel off the older coating. In these cases, the surfactants we use help to lift and remove wood fibers or old coatings on the surface, so just rinse them off gently without damaging pressure. A good analogy is cleaning the oven, which is easy to wipe when you apply the oven cleaner to the surface and let it stay for 20 minutes. If you don't use an oven cleaner, you spend a lot of time cleaning it with a lot of elbow grease. This procedure should still be used when cleaning and restoring the surface, using the correct product and allowing to stay to make the job easier. It is important to ensure that you or your contractor is using more than just pressurized water. The pressurized water is basically a sandblasted surface, and the surface of the blasted wood does not recover anything.

Although these terms also apply to other surfaces, such as exterior household surfaces, outdoor furniture, concrete, concrete pavers, stamped concrete, etc., it must be recognized that unless a certain type of cleaner is used, the stripper or other product is actually carried out. Work you don't provide any type of fix. Why do we see such damage to property and assets that are valuable to people? Mainly because there is not enough education and research for contractors or end users. Intentional destruction is defined as "intentional or ignorant destruction", so it is not an excuse for those who do not know the correct procedures and techniques used in recovery, and the information is there. When planning your next repair project, please research or ask your contractor the right questions to make sure they will recover your property instead of destroying it.
