Professional Deck Restoration Greensborough
Greensborough is the heart of family suburban living in the north-east. Many homes here were built or renovated in the 1980s and 90s, featuring robust timber decks that have seen decades of family BBQs, kids’ parties, and weathering. At Deck Rejuvenation, we specialize in breathing new life into these hardworking family decks.
Why Greensborough Decks Need Specialized Care
The aging housing stock in Greensborough presents a unique set of challenges:
- End-of-Life Coatings: Many decks have layers of old acrylic paints (like “Deck Doc”) that are peeling and flaking.
- Wear Patterns: High traffic areas from back doors to BBQ spots show significant wear compared to the rest of the deck.
- Neglected Maintenance: Busy family lives often mean decks haven’t been oiled in 3-5 years, leading to grey, splintery timber.
- Restoration vs. Replacement: Homeowners often think they need to replace the whole deck, when restoration is a viable, cheaper option.
Our Complete 9-Step Restoration Process
We can strip back 20 years of wear and tear in just a few days.
- Health Check: We identify if the sub-structure is sound. If the bones are good, we can save the deck.
- Heavy Stripping: We use extra-strength strippers to remove stubborn, thick acrylic coatings common in the 90s.
- Deep Cleaning: Scrubbing out the grime from deep within the grain.
- Nail Rectification: Punching down thousands of raised nails that create trip hazards for kids.
- Aggressive Sanding: Removing the top layer of damaged wood to reveal fresh timber underneath.
- Detail Sanding: Smooth finishing edges and corners.
- Brightening: Chemical neutralization.
- Penetrating Oil: Re-hydrating the old, thirsty timber.
- Final Seal: A durable topcoat ready for the next decade of family use.
What Makes Us Different: We Fix Cupping
Old treated pine decks in Greensborough are notorious for cupping. Replacing the boards is expensive. Our sanding process planes the boards flat again. We turn a trip hazard into a smooth dance floor, saving you thousands compared to re-decking.
Popular Greensborough Deck Timbers We Restore
- Treated Pine (Perma Pine): Extremely common in Greensborough; restores beautifully to a honey-gold color.
- Merbau: The standard for durability; we fix the “blackening” effect caused by old, cheap oils.

FAQ
My deck is painted red/brown. Can you remove it?
Yes. Many older decks were painted with “Decking Paint.” We can strip and sand this off to reveal the natural timber grain again.
Is it worth restoring a 20-year-old pine deck?
Absolutely. As long as the wood isn’t rotten through, old pine hardens over time and restores exceptionally well.
When can we walk on it?
Light traffic in 24 hours. Full furniture replacement in 72 hours.
