Before Pro Pressure Clean and Seal. The plastic is
helping the stripper to work by isolating the environment.
This dock was painted with a
water based solid stain. After extensive stripping and
some new boards (where the paint actually caused
rot by trapping water,) it was re-sealed with a high quality oil stain.
Major dock restoration
Before Pro Pressure Clean and Seal
This beautifully built Tampa, FL deck and pergola had a failing finish
that was stripped off.
A new finish was applied that maximizes the
beauty of the wood and protects it from the elements.

Before Pro Pressure Clean and Seal
This second story deck in Clearwater had
been sealed with Thompsons Water Seal. This
type of stain offers no UV protection and lasts
a very short time in its protection against
mildew and mold. It is now protected and
beautiful and the stain will last several years
without any further finishing.

Before Pro Pressure Clean and Seal-
An IPE deck in need of some serious restoration
The IPE deck had been
sealed with an acrylic sealer.
Acrylics will peel and crack and are
very hard to get off.
This deck was
stripped and re-sealed with Wood
Tux
Example of an IPE deck that was in dire need of our attention.
-IPE is a very tricky wood to stain properly. Regardless of what your builder tells you, research carefully before staining it yourself. Or
call us for a free consultation.

Why doesn't the stain you applied hold up?
1. Improper Preparation:
70% of our work goes into
correct preparation of the wood to accept and hold the
stain.
2. Inferior stain.
We only use Professional grade stains.
Many stains have gone through formula changes due to
VOC compliance laws and often do not hold up well
regardless of their past performance.

St. Petersburg Gazebo Before Pro Pressure Clean and Seal.
The Gazebo was refinished and the outcome was tremendous difference!
Matching St. Petersburg Dock Before Pro Pressure Clean and Seal.
This dock was refinished with a matching tint to the Gazebo and Pro Pressure did it again!
Notice the difference in color
when viewed at different
angles.
The pigments in the finish
reflect light to protect the wood
from harmful UV rays and
looks different when seen at a
different angles or on different
wood.
The teak benches were stained
with a different tint than the
dock.
St. Petersburg Dock and Gazebo Overhaul

Before Pro Pressure Clean and Seal. This dock in Odessa, FL is made of IPE, a very dense, expensive hardwood.
It was left to weather for 5 years and had
developed severe mildew and even lichen growth, actually causing surface degradation to one of the hardest woods
known.
After some heavy cleaning and extensive sanding...
It was stained with Wood Tux Brand stain. Much better
looking isn't it?
The stain will prevent mildew and the UV degradation and color change so prevalent to wood in Florida.

Bye bye mildew!

These decks in Redington Beach were severely weathered and had several coats
of an acrylic sealer that were failing.
A solid color stain was used to protect the
wood from the harsh beach front environment.
We do not feel that solid stains are
the best choice for wood, however,
in some instances it is necessary to apply a
solid.
Redington Shores - Only a solid could do the job-
This St.
Pete Beach trex dock was cleaned 3 years ago and you can
see how much mildew has grown along with
ground in dirt.
But see how nice it looks after
we're done?
Trex and other composites are not as maintenance
free as they are said to be.

This Tampa gazebo had been sealed with a
water based solid stain. There were many
areas where the wood had degraded because
of the poor quality of the finish.
After stripping
off the old stain and some extensive sanding,
a high quality oil stain was applied for long
lasting protection and beauty.
Carefull considteration goes into every job we do and the choice of product used always makes a huge differance.
Tampa Gazebo with an amazing conclusion-
This Largo, FL deck was built close to the ground limiting airflow underneath.
An oil
based finish protects from sun damage and water intrusion and allows the wood to breath
naturally for maximum protection.
Pro Pressure Clean and Seal delivers yet again!
Trex and other composites are not as maintenance
free as they are said to be.

proper cleaning and stripping
chemicals. Knowing what to use
and the proper pressure to apply is
what makes us pros! |
