Using Deck Restoration Plus Products to Restore Exterior Wood
Deck Restoration Plus has some of the best restoration products on the market. Contractors from coast-to-coast use Deck Restoration Plus to restore exterior wood and they love the professional results they get! Our products can be applied to a multitude of wooden surfaces including decks, fences, wood-sided homes, docks, outdoor furniture, and all other types of exterior wood. Restoring exterior wood is the best way to preserve and protect your outdoor living space.
Inspection: The first thing you should do before using Deck Restoration Plus products is to determine the condition of the wood. Check for organic growth such as lichen and mildew, diagnose damage to the wood, and see if there has been any sealers or stains applied to the wood beforehand. A thorough inspection will help determine what chemicals you need to apply.
Strip / Clean / Brighten: The first step is to remove any previous coatings beforehand. We have two strippers that will remove coatings: our regular Deck & Wood Stripper works well on penetrating transparent and semi-transparent coatings, while our DRP Stripper Plus works well on solids and film-formers. Using our strippers on these coatings will help save you a lot of time and energy on sanding out the remaining coatings. Our 2lb Deck Cleaner or DRP Restorer will clean the surfaces, helping to remove organic growth and bring back the natural beauty of wood - during this process the wood becomes darker, which is why you follow it up with our Deck Restoration Plus Brightener while the wood is still wet to neutralize and brighten the wood back to its natural color.
Deck & Wood Stain: If you, or your customer, opts to have the exterior wood surface stained, our Deck Restoration Plus Deck & Wood Stain is the optimal choice. Our stains are water-based but perform like an oil-based and provide the same penetrating power that provides maximum color vibrancy and durability. Because it’s water-based, you can apply to wet, damp, or dry wood - which makes scheduling home improvement and DIY projects much easier! Our stains are VOC Compliant and mildew resistant, and environmentally friendly. The best part? EASY FUTURE MAINTENANCE!! Just perform a light cleaning and put on another coat of Deck Restoration Plus Deck & Wood Stain.

Created by the “Wizard of Wood”, Everett Abrams for use by his own contracting company Deck Restoration Plus / DRP Enterprises, he made these products available for contractors across the country.
