New Exterior Stain Job! Kleinberger Contracting, LLC built this deck and pergola last season. This Spring we stained it using our favorite outdoor wood preservative (Cabot’s Australian Timber Oil) in Honey Teak. The Australian Timber Oil has excellent pe*******on, rich color, excellent UV protection and does not peel, so re-staining is easy. It outlasts any other deck product we have used. It is an excellent product!

Why did we wait until Spring? Pressure treated wood is often bought from suppliers still wet with preservatives and needs time to dry out before applying other preservatives or stains. If you apply preservatives too soon to pressure treated lumber it will not fully pe*****te, therefore becoming less effective and potentially creating other serious problems. So let it dry!

Water Test! A general rule of thumb! If you are concerned about your pressure treated building project being too wet use the “water sprinkle test.” Apply a couple of drops of water on the wood you want to preserve and “time” its absorption. If it dries in under ten minutes, it is ready for treatment. However, if dry time exceeds ten minutes, wait and give the wood more time to dry.

New Deck!

This deck is exemplary of newer building options.
Built on Techno Metal Post. Helical piers are becoming more popular for many project types for a solid foundation. A quick, less invasive, environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternative to concrete piers typically used on decks.

The decking used is MoistureShield Meridian Mariner. A capped composite decking with a low-profile wood-grain pattern, installed with hidden fasteners. The rail system is from TimberTech. It’s the Classic Composite Series-matte white-Drink Rail style with black composite balusters. Composite decks continue to rise in popularity. Although in the past they have shown issues with mold, fading, heating, and scratching composite technology is changing and getting better and addressing those issues (Solid Core/coolDeck Technology/TruTexture Surface) Composite is a good, durable, low maintenance deck option. The options are endless.

Give me a call and plan your new deck now for the next season!

A total deck remodel with a new pergola. A pergola can enhance the function of a deck and is aesthetically pleasing. Pergola’s can provide some shade, and sunshades can be added to the top for more effective cover. Like a porch, pergolas can be an extension of the indoor living space, without getting into a total roof system.
