X Deco — Licensed painting and protective coating specialists serving Wollongong, Shellharbour and the Illawarra.
Failed deck coatings are one of the most common problems X Deco is called to fix. Peeling, flaking and grey weathered timber are signs that the existing coating has broken down and needs to be fully removed before any new product is applied.
Applying fresh stain or oil over a failed coating will fail again quickly. The only way to achieve a long-lasting result is to strip the surface back properly, allow the timber to dry, and apply a fresh coating system correctly.
Every X Deco job is backed by a 2-year workmanship warranty covering all defects. The premium coating systems we specify carry manufacturer warranties of up to 10 years.
But our best warranty is our process. With the right assessment, correct surface preparation and proper product specification, we aim to eliminate problems before they happen. We do the job right the first time — which means you should never need to chase us for warranty work.
Peeling deck stain is usually caused by moisture trapped under the coating, incompatible products, or new stain applied over a failing existing coating without removal. The only proper fix is full stripping and reapplication.
Not if the existing stain is failing, peeling or flaking. All failed coating must be removed before any new product is applied.
Most residential decks take 2-3 days including stripping, preparation, drying time and application. Larger or more heavily damaged decks may take longer.
We specify premium Australian deck stains and oils suited to the timber species and exposure level. We will recommend the right product after assessing your deck.
