This primarily comes into play if your deck is well above ground (4' or higher). The answer is no. The reason you are sealing your deck is to prevent the sun from aging the wood and more importantly, to prevent rain from rotting your deck. Since the understructure never receives any real sunlight and gravity dictates that water will not stay on the underside, it is not necessary to seal that.

Yes. If you elect not to seal your deck it will age prematurely and will not last as long as a properly maintained deck. A properly maintained deck in our climate should last 30 years. for what type of sealer, we highly recommend to use cost as an indicator. There are definitely reasons why a gallon of Brand X costs $15.00 while Brand Y costs $40.00. Lower cost doesn't necessarily mean better value but it definitely could mean lower performance.

Sealing and staining your deck or fencing adds vital nutrients to the wood surface, so that it will not deteriorate at an accelerated rate. Wood products take a tremendous beating through seasonal changes, i.e.;. warping, cracking and/or graying (ultraviolet damage). With these elements attacking wood on a day to day basis, you can see the importance of having your deck or fencing treated right away. See similar questions...

This mainly will depend on the weather. On average a Pressure Treated Pine deck can be sealed in approximately 45-60 days from installation. A Cedar or Redwood deck can be sealed within 21 days. If you have a fair amount of rain you will need extra time for drying the wood out. Essentially you are making sure you don't seal in any moisture as this will promote rotting from the inside out.

We recommend you let your deck dry for a minimum of four weeks after construction of your deck before we apply a penetrating sealer. The problem with new wood is that the grains are closed and the wood still contains natural chemicals called tannins and mill glaze. If left to nature, it would take 3-6 months for the grain to open and the natural chemicals to leach out. By using a combination of powerwashing and mill glaze remover, we can speed up this process.

Most sealers need a minimum of 4-8 hours to dry, although this can vary depending on the weather and the condition of your deck. If it rains soon after we apply the sealer, look for water spots. These are lighter discolorations on the wood similar to water marks left on fine furniture. If your deck has water spots, please contact us immediately to have the sealer re-applied.

A - Sealing the stone is not required. However, use of a high-quality, "breathable" concrete sealer will reduce water penetration into the stone. Breathable sealers will allow water that does absorb into the stone to come out. Breathable sealers will extend the life of the product by reducing freeze/thaw stress and blocking contaminants from entering the concrete. CAUTION: Sealers will have varying impact on color. A sample should be tested before applying to your project. See similar questions...
