Jason was absolutely amazing! A dog had scratched off large chunks of timber from my door and adjacent window frame and Jason was available in the same week to come and fix it!

Pressure wash and re-stain 5m x 5x deck with two coats

$700

South Melbourne VIC, Australia

30th Apr 2026

As per photographs, our deck could do with a refresh, preferably two coats. It will require a few visits to allow for moving things to one side to stain and dry before moving things back onto freshly stained area. It’s about 5m x 5m and has three steps. 1. Pressure wash 2. Replace some lifting nails with special screws we’ll provide 3. There’s no need to move the large rectangular planter boxes, just reach under to stain, but will need to move smaller pots, table and kennel to one side of deck at a time to stain - we can help 4. Stain one side at a time using mop applicator AND a brush, the gaps between the boards are large enough that the inside edges need to be stained using a brush 5. Care is necessary to avoid drips, because our deck is over a common entrance where neighbours drive their cars in and out so we don’t want drips falling on their cars - we will warn them of timing 6. We have the stain and can buy more as required
