    It seems that refinishing decks is on everyone's to-do list this summer. Nobody wants an ugly, old and worn-out deck when hosting a BBQ. Here are some tips:

    Then this is the tutorial you want. A beautifully refinished wood deck not only looks great, protects and extends the life of the wood but it may also help improve the resale value of your home and allow it to sell faster (if that is a goal).

    Refinishing a wood deck involves some basic steps such as:

    • Deck Inspection
    • Deck Cleaning
    • Power Washing (deep cleaning)
    • Sanding
    • Staining and Sealing
