Shaker Heights is one of the country's best-known planned communities, and it shows in the housing: 1920s Tudors, Colonials, and period revivals with stucco, half-timbering, leaded glass, and elaborate painted trim. Color choices and workmanship are held to a genuine community standard here.
Mature street trees shade nearly every elevation, so mildew and slow drying are the recurring issues. Century-old wood trim also means more scraping and spot priming than a modern home needs.
Our Hudson office is the closest to Shaker Heights, at 77 Milford Dr, Suite 254, Hudson, OH 44236. That means shorter travel, easier scheduling, and a crew that already knows the area.
Two to four years for most decks, though shaded and tree-covered properties often need it sooner. A horizontal surface takes standing water, snow load, and UV all at once, which is why deck coatings fail long before the siding on the same house does.
For most decks, stain. It penetrates rather than forming a film, so it wears gradually instead of peeling into flakes that have to be scraped off. Paint can be appropriate on railings and vertical surfaces, and we advise per deck rather than by rule.
Yes, though it needs the failed coating removed first. Staining over a peeling film just buys a season. We will tell you honestly if a deck has reached the point where boards need replacing before any finish is worth applying.
Usually 24 to 48 hours depending on the product and the weather. We give you a specific time before we finish, and we would rather you waited a day longer than marked a fresh finish.
