HOW-TO: Deck Redo
  Issue #302 - August 2007
Decks are a funny thing — the worse they look, the more hesitant we are as homeowners to do anything about them.

Perhaps this is because deck refinishing conjures up visions of hot summer days spent on your hands and knees, endlessly scrubbing and sanding the old deck. And, of course, most of us would rather spend the summer months actually enjoying the deck, rather than taking it out of commission for weeks on end to clean and refinish it.
If this is how you feel about deck refinishing, you’ll be happy to learn that cleaning and refinishing a deck isn’t the chore it used to be. Today’s deck strippers and cleaners have virtually eliminated scrubbing and sanding. In fact, if you can get your hands on a pressure washer for a day, the cleaning and stripping process shouldn’t take you more than a couple hours.
