Outdoor spaces like decks and patios are beautiful extensions of your home, but they are also constantly exposed to the elements—sun, rain, humidity, and seasonal temperature changes. Without proper protection, even the highest quality wood or composite materials can degrade over time. That’s why DFW Property Remodelers offers professional weatherproofing and sealing services to protect your investment, maintain your home’s curb appeal, and extend the life of your deck or outdoor structure.
Whether you have a newly constructed deck or an older one showing signs of wear, our expert weatherproofing and sealing solutions help keep your surfaces protected, beautiful, and functional year-round.
Why Weatherproofing and Sealing Are Essential
Decks and other exterior structures face constant environmental stress. UV rays can fade and crack surfaces. Moisture can seep into wood, causing rot, mold, mildew, or warping. In colder weather, water that seeps into cracks can freeze and expand, worsening damage. Even composite decking, while more resistant, still needs sealing in high-exposure areas.
Proper weatherproofing and sealing create a protective barrier that shields your outdoor surfaces from moisture, dirt, sunlight, and temperature extremes. It also helps preserve the natural beauty of the material—whether it’s wood, concrete, or composite—and minimizes long-term maintenance needs.
Our Weatherproofing and Sealing Process
At DFW Property Remodelers, we follow a detailed, professional process to ensure long-lasting results for every deck or outdoor surface we treat.
1. Thorough Inspection
We begin with a full assessment of your deck or patio. Our team looks for signs of wear, moisture damage, fading, or structural weaknesses. We determine the type of material, its current condition, and whether any repairs are needed before sealing begins.
2. Professional Cleaning
For sealing to be effective, the surface must be clean and free of dirt, mildew, old coatings, or stains. We use power washing, gentle scrubbing, and environmentally safe cleaners to remove buildup. This ensures the sealant will penetrate properly and adhere evenly.
3. Surface Preparation and Repairs
We sand rough or splintered surfaces, tighten loose fasteners, and replace any rotted or damaged boards. On older decks, this prep work is crucial for proper sealing and long-term durability. Our team takes the time to get the surface smooth, clean, and structurally sound.
4. Choosing the Right Sealant
Not all sealants are created equal. We offer a range of professional-grade weatherproofing products tailored to the type of material and level of exposure your deck receives. Options include:
- Clear sealers – to preserve the natural look of wood while protecting from moisture
- Tinted sealers – for added UV protection and enhanced color
- Stain-sealer combos – to add color and protection in one step
- Composite sealers – made specifically for synthetic decking materials
Our team helps you choose the right finish and color for your style and environment.
5. Expert Application
We apply the sealant using brushes, rollers, or sprayers—depending on the surface and product type. Our technicians ensure complete coverage and smooth finishes, working carefully around railings, edges, and stairs. Typically, one to two coats are applied, with drying time factored in for best results.
Benefits of Our Professional Weatherproofing and Sealing
When you choose DFW Property Remodelers for weatherproofing, you get more than just a sealant—you get peace of mind that your deck will stay strong, safe, and beautiful for years.
✔ Moisture Protection
Prevent wood rot, swelling, and mold by sealing out water and humidity—especially important in the unpredictable Texas climate.
✔ UV Ray Defense
Block sun damage that causes graying, drying, and cracking. Sealants with UV blockers preserve the color and condition of your deck.
✔ Extended Lifespan
A well-maintained and sealed deck can last twice as long as an unsealed one. That saves money on costly repairs or premature replacement.
✔ Improved Appearance
Sealing enhances the grain and tone of natural wood while keeping the surface clean, smooth, and visually appealing.
✔ Reduced Maintenance
Sealed decks are easier to clean and less likely to stain from leaves, spills, or organic material. No more yearly scrubbing or sanding.
✔ Adds Value to Your Property
A clean, well-maintained outdoor space boosts your home’s marketability and resale value.
Ideal Timing and Frequency
We recommend sealing your deck:
- Every 1–2 years for wood decks, depending on weather exposure and foot traffic.
- Every 2–3 years for composite decks, especially if they receive heavy sunlight or moisture.
Spring and early summer are great times for sealing in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, as the weather is warm and dry enough for proper curing.
Suitable Surfaces for Weatherproofing
Our services apply to a wide range of exterior surfaces, including:
- Pressure-treated wood decks
- Cedar or redwood decks
- Composite decking (Trex®, TimberTech®, etc.)
- Concrete patios
- Pergolas, gazebos, and wooden fences
- Outdoor stairs and railings
No matter the surface, we have the right product and technique for lasting protection.
