With over 10 years experience maintaining all types of timber especially around Ballina, we refinish timber homes, decks and balustrades. All surfaces get prepared via sanding or pressure cleaning and re-oiled using any type of coating desired.

Customer Education: which oil to choose?

Choosing a timber maintenance product in Ballina and surrounds, is mostly influenced heavily by what's previously been used on a deck, but mostly it's about a client's discernment - both from a preventative maintenance point of view and what touch and feel they want at the end of the day.  A great water based product has advantages of quick dry times, an even finish and sometimes reduced annual maintenance requirements, but one does inevitably need to sand back to start again after a period of time determined by the maintenance regime and environmental factors.  Traditional oils can be great to avoid stripping at any juncture, but require far more regular application. We can assist you to land on the right system no matter where things are at.

Timber Preparation: sanding & stripping

Many people don’t understand the work and expense caused by using the wrong coatings on your home’s balustrades, decks and cladding - or from leaving maintenance too long.  Ballina timber maintenance is particularly important with the proximity to salty air where deck oiling is advised every 6-12 months (depending on several elements of course). Using paint stripper, pressure cleaning machines and sanding equipment, during this example above, a previously painted deck was sanded, chemical stripped and brightened before oiling. In some cases, where large decking areas are weathered beyond seeming repair, or have raised nail heads, we'll provide you with a suitable strategy to greatly extend the timber's service  life.

"After seeing terrific results of high pressure cleaning on a colleagues house I wanted to see if the same application would work on a older style timber 1930’s weatherboard house. We worked through the challenges and the results were remarkable. I’ve renovated several houses over 20 years, and was delighted the team's expertise and detail to finishing. The financial savings and increased property value were considerable with a job that traditionally would have taken weeks and two separate trades with associated inconvenience, to a job that took hours. I highly recommend the innovative service provided."  L Martin, Designer, Byron Bay NSW

Before & After

Merran’s timber home in Byron Bay required pressure cleaning all over, including the driveway, around the pool, pathways and hard to reach windows, plus she had a large timber deck requiring some rejuvenating.  Once the pressure cleaning and windows were done, the hard porous surfaces were sealed with two coats of sealant to prevent future mould growth.

Where decking and wooden hand rails become dry, as can be seen here, often an orbital sander and or broom sander is enough to lower the grain and make way for a quality oil to re-stain and protect the surface.  Her lovely hardwood furniture was stained all at the same time, ensuring a uniform colour and finish.
