Deck Sanding & Prep in Niagara

Sanding is the difference between stain that soaks in and stain that peels in a year. We sand every surface: field, edges, railings, and spindles, creating a canvas the finish can grip.

HOW WE DO IT

The process, step by step.

01

Field Sanding

Commercial orbital or belt sander covers the deck field, removing raised grain, old product residue, and weathered fibres from board to board.

Even Scratch Pattern
No Swirl Marks
02

Edge & Detail Sanding

Hand-sanding on railings, balusters, post faces, and stair stringers. Every surface the eye touches gets the same treatment as the field.

Grit Sequence

We progress through coarse, medium, and fine grits to open the grain without over-sanding. The final grit is matched to the stain product being applied.

04

Blow-Down & Tack

The deck is blown clean and tack-wiped before stain goes down. Dust trapped under finish is a leading cause of adhesion failure.
