Expert Deck Sanding Services

Professional deck restoration that brings weathered timber back to life

I understand what Northern Rivers weather does to timber decks. Sun, rain, and coastal conditions leave decks grey, splintered, and weathered. I properly restore them using professional-grade sanders and proven techniques that actually last.

I don't rush the sanding process. Multi-grit progression removes old finishes and weathering while preserving the timber's integrity. I use quality stains and oils that penetrate properly - not cheap products that peel off in 12 months. The result is a deck that looks better than new and handles our coastal climate.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does deck sanding take?

Most residential decks take 1-2 days to sand properly. This includes preparation, multiple sanding passes with different grits, and cleanup. We use professional orbital sanders to ensure an even, smooth finish without damaging the timber.

Should I sand or replace my old deck?

If the boards are structurally sound (no rot or major cracks), sanding is cost-effective. If boards are extensively rotted, cupped, or splitting, replacement is better. We'll assess your deck and recommend the most economical option.

What grit do you use for deck sanding?

We typically start with 40-60 grit to remove old coatings and grey weathered timber, then progress to 80-120 grit for smoothing. The final grit depends on your timber type and desired finish.

How soon after sanding can I oil my deck?

Wait 24-48 hours after sanding before oiling. This allows the timber to stabilize and any raised grain to settle. We check weather conditions to ensure the timber is dry before applying oil.

Do you sand deck stairs and railings too?

Yes, we sand all deck surfaces including stairs, railings, posts, and handrails. Consistent sanding across all components ensures even oil absorption and a professional finish.
