Since 1995, Deckare has been cleaning and restoring decks and other outdoor wood surfaces. The company uses a two-step process that first strips away any mildew, algae or old paint, and then preserves the restored surface with a clear sealer.
Deckare can repair and protect against sun damage, splintering, cracking, warping and mildew.
