Professional Deck Restoration Montmorency

Montmorency is famous for its hilly terrain and stunning treetop views. Consequently, many homes here feature large, elevated decks or multi-level platforms that require specialized maintenance. Deck Rejuvenation offers expert restoration services tailored to the unique topography of “Monty,” located just 6km from Eltham.

Why Montmorency Decks Need Specialized Care

The geography of Montmorency creates specific structural and environmental challenges for decking:

• Elevation & Exposure: High decks are more exposed to UV radiation and wind, drying out timber faster than ground-level decks.
• Structural Movement: Decks on stilts or slopes can experience more movement, leading to nail popping and board shifting.
• Underside Ventilation: While airflow is good, the undersides of high decks are often neglected, allowing pests or dry rot to take hold unnoticed.
• Access Difficulties: Maintenance is often deferred because the decks are hard to reach or high off the ground.

Our Complete 9-Step Restoration Process

We take safety and structural integrity seriously when working on elevated platforms.

1. Structural Safety Check: We inspect balustrades, joists, and bearers before starting any work on elevated decks.
2. Surface Preparation: Clearing furniture and securing the work area.
3. Chemical Stripping: Removing old, flaky coatings that have been baked by the sun.
4. Pressure Cleaning: Washing away grime, paying special attention to run-off management so it doesn’t affect lower levels.
5. Nail & Screw Fixation: Re-securing loose boards—critical for elevated decks to prevent warping.
6. Precision Sanding: Smoothing out sun-damaged fibers using our 5-wave technique.
7. Brightening: Revitalizing the greyed timber.
8. Deep Saturation Oil: First coat to nourish the dry, exposed timber.
9. UV Shield Coat: A final heavy-duty coat designed to block harsh UV rays common in elevated positions.

What Makes Us Different: We Fix Cupping

Elevated decks in Montmorency often suffer from “cupping” due to the rapid drying effects of wind and sun. Our specialized sanding machinery is powerful enough to flatten these irregularities. Unlike DIY sanders which just bounce over the high spots, our equipment cuts flat, restoring a safe, level surface for your family BBQs.

Popular Montmorency Deck Timbers We Restore

• Treated Pine: Commonly used for large structural decks; we apply specific oils to prevent splitting.
• Merbau: A favorite for its durability; we restore its deep red luster which often fades to grey in the Monty sun.
• Ironbark: Found in older premium homes; requires specialized sanding pads due to its extreme density.
