Pressure Washing & Prep
Mildew, old finish and gray weathering removed with controlled pressure so new stain bonds to clean wood fibers.
From $650
Municipal contracts and association work. We wash, prep and apply two-coat systems that hold up through sun, rain and foot traffic. One crew, one schedule, one price.
Shelters protected, season after season
Prep and finish determine how many seasons the shelter lasts before the next crew shows up.
Mildew, old finish and gray weathering removed with controlled pressure so new stain bonds to clean wood fibers.
Penetrating oil stain applied in two coats, back-brushed for even color and full penetration on all exposed faces and ends.
Solid acrylic or latex stain for shelters that need a uniform painted look while still allowing the wood to breathe.
UV-protective clear sealer over stained surfaces to lock in color and slow water uptake at joints and end grain.
Hand-brushed stain or sealer on railings, posts, benches and fascia where spray coverage is not possible.
Light wash and one maintenance coat on previously finished shelters to extend the cycle between full refinishes.
One finished panel or shelter every day we are on site. Color, coverage and grain visible before we move to the next structure.
Shelters in parks and common areas after washing, staining and sealing.
Four details that separate a shelter that needs work again in two years from one that holds for five.
Every surface is pressure-washed and allowed to dry fully so stain penetrates rather than sitting on old finish.
Spray application followed by brush work on every board so coverage is uniform and end grain is sealed.
We log the date, product and color of every shelter so future coats line up with the original system.
All bolts, plates and electrical boxes are protected so the next crew can work without fighting overspray.
Shelter Care started staining park structures for a single city parks department in 2016. We still run the same two-person crews and the same process: wash to bare wood, mask hardware, apply two full coats, and leave a dated maintenance card on site.
Most of our contracts are repeat municipal and HOA work. We keep records of every shelter we finish so the next maintenance cycle is predictable and the wood stays protected.
