Deck Medic has been cleaning & staining decks since
1990. Deck Medic expanded into North Carolina in January of 2018 and is known as "Deck
Medic of Lake Norman."

We use professional airless sprayers to apply an even coat of stain
to the wood surface then work the stain in by back brushing. By spraying the stain on we can
coat areas that can't be reached by brush. The friction provided by back brushing opens up the
grain allowing the stain to penetrate deeper into the wood and provides a more vibrant finish.

We stain all outdoor wood surfaces including but not
limited to; Fences, Pergolas, Gazebos, Arbors, Trellis, Bridges, Balconies, Play Sets, & Furniture.

In the wrong hands a power washer can cause damage to
the integrity of the wood. We use only trained, experienced professionals to wash all our
projects. Hand washing simply doesn't provide the deep cleaning necessary for a long lasting,
beautiful finish. Our commercial grade power washers provide the high volume of water, yet
relative low pressure, needed to thoroughly clean the wood surfaces and remove our
proprietary cleaning products

We carry Full Workers Comp Insurance on all of our employees and a
$1,000,000 liability insurance policy.

Only Deck Medic trained employees are allowed to work on
our jobsites. All of our workers have been vetted and
cleared by management to work on your project. They are all insured
for both liability and workers comp.

Unless we are going over our own stain, it is
necessary to try to remove the existing product to allow our penetrating stain to work properly.

In most cases the exposed horizontal surfaces will need
to be re-stained every two years and vertical surfaces every 4 years. The direction your deck
faces, amount of use, and exposure to harsh chemicals (i.e. pool decks) will affect the longevity.

No, usually all that's needed is our 3-Step
Maintenance Process every few years to continue the protection you received from the more
extensive 5-Step Restoration Process performed during our initial service visit. As one might
expect, the 3-Step Maintenance Process is less labor for us and less costly for the client.

All outdoor wood surfaces have mold and mildew
feeding on it. The mistake homeowners and contractors make is to power wash off the surface
mold and think the problem eliminated. Power washing only removes the top surface of the mold plant.
We saturate the wood with our mold remediation product to kill the spores all the
way down to the root hidden within the grain of the wood. Untreated mold spores left behind
after power washing will feed off of the new stain shortening the life of the product and making
the wood surface slippery and unsightly

Our mold remediation process only kills the existing mold
plant prior to sealing the wood. Mold is an airborne spore that could come back and start
growing across the surface of the stained wood. For this reason, mold is NOT covered under our
warranty.

Whether it's the full 5-Step Restoration Process or our 3-Step
Maintenance Process most jobs will take two separate days--not consecutive. We will have one
wet day when all of the wash processes are done. After allowing the wood to dry properly for a
few days the team will return for prep and stain application. The number of days between the
wash day & staining day will be affected by rain. Some large jobs may take longer than 2 days

Our 5-Step Process comes with a one-year warranty. Ours is not
a calendar year, it's a seasonal one. All work done this season is covered for the remainder of this season and all of next season. Essentially, it's a two season guarantee against any peeling or flaking. Please carefully read your agreement for more details about the terms and restrictions. Our Warranty is for One Year from the date of the stain application against any peeling or flaking. The warranty only covers projects where Deck Medic's semi-transparent oil based stain is applied. It is applicable only when our Professional 5-Step Restoration Process is chosen. Any other products used are NOT covered under the terms of this warranty. Our Warranty covers the labor & materials necessary to repair the area of failure.

Our Warranty does NOT cover the following

Ipe, Teak, or any other type of exotic or hardwood materials. Pool decks or any damages due to the use of unapproved chemicals. Scratches from animals or furniture or any failure due to those scratches

Although we treat for existing mold & mildew we do not warranty any new mold & mildew.

Fading is expected and natural and is NOT a warranty issue. Our stain is designed to slowly fade over a 2-3 year period allowing us to re-coat with out having to strip the deck each time.

We will need access to water and electricity. We will also
need the work area cleared of personal belongings, decorative items, and furniture before the
power washer arrives. Have all windows & doors closed

We ask that you stay off the deck for 48
hours to allow the wood to completely dry.

After years of experimenting with many different brands of
both water-based and oil-based stains, we found none of them up to our standards. We
subsequently took the steps to develop our own line of semi-transparent oil-based stain. Our
penetrating stain is a two-oil system consisting of both non-drying oils that penetrate deep into
the wood fiber where the woods natural oils used to be, and a drying oil that stays at the surface
locking in the conditioning oils. Our stains also contain pigments to provide protection from the
damaging ultraviolet rays of the sun while still allowing the natural beauty of the wood grain to
show through.

Yes, we will discuss the necessary repair work needed depending on
your situation and let you know if it is something we can comfortably handle. Any rotten wood
that is uncovered during the wash process is not our responsibility and will result in additional
charges if you would like us to repair it.

In a word, service. We feel confident that the
combinations of our time-tested production systems along with the professional wood care
products we use go unmatched in the industry. However, it is our level of service and
commitment we provide to our customers that we are most proud of. You don't survive in this
industry for over 25 years if you don't put your customers first.

Well technically speaking, we never use paint on a deck, and you shouldn't either. We at Deck Medic either apply a semi-transparent oil stain, or a solid acrylic (water-based) stain. To the casual observer, the solid acrylic stain may look like paint because it has no opacity (can't see through it), and comes in a variety of colors. Unlike paint, solid stain is much more durable and can be walked upon. We would not recommend routinely walking on a painted surface, like you would with a deck. So, the correct question is, "Do you stain decks?" And the answer is an emphatic YES! Through discussions with you the customer, we will jointly decide what stain is best for your particular deck...Oil-based or Solid Acrylic.
