Every so often the professional painters of Kevin Palmer Painting have the opportunity to work at a job site so beautiful that it makes coming to work like going on vacation. Restoring the deck for an Avon, Connecticut couple was one of those opportunities.
The homeowners wanted to protect and preserve their deck overlooking the Farmington Valley. They chose Kevin Palmer Painting to undertake this project.
The initial evaluation of the deck showed that the deck had been well maintained over the years but needed to be sanded to remove coatings which had deteriorated over time.
The floor was professionally sanded leaving a surface ready for preparatory work to begin. The painting professionals of Kevin Palmer Painting thoroughly cleaned the deck as the 1st step in the coating process. Discolored areas as were treated to remove stains and discoloration where grills and furniture markings showed over time. Loose floor boards were secured as needed and the deck was soon ready for coating.
The homeowners followed the recommendations of Kevin Palmer Painting and elected to use a top-quality preservative that would enhance the beauty of the wood allowing the grain and natural beauty of the wood to show through. The clear preservative would protect the wood from snow and rain and exposure to the sun.
A premium product manufactured by Sherwin-Williams was used. The painters boxed the preservative to ensure uniformity of finish and began their work.
Care was taken to cover and protect the surrounding house, patio areas, and landscaping. The painters worked with the grain of the wood, overlapping as required to ensure a uniform, rich finish.
The staining of this deck came out beautiful. The homeowners were a pleasure to work with and the deck has been protected from Mother Nature and looks wonderful! With the vacation project complete, the painters of Kevin Palmer Painting were soon off to their next project.
