Restoring Wood Fences and Furniture After Hurricane Damage

Published: November 14, 2024

Hurricanes can take a significant toll on outdoor wood surfaces, including fences and furniture, leaving them weathered, discolored, and structurally compromised. The first step in restoring these surfaces is a thorough cleaning to remove any dirt, mildew, or algae that accumulated during the storm. Professional power washing is recommended to clear the surface without causing further damage. At Gulf Coast Stain & Seal, we begin every restoration project with careful cleaning and evaluation to ensure that the wood is prepped for repair.

Once cleaned, any damaged sections of the wood should be repaired or replaced. For outdoor furniture, this may include hand sanding areas that show signs of discoloration, splintering, or surface-level damage. Gulf Coast Stain & Seal specializes in restoring various wood types, including teak, redwood, pine, and oak, using high-quality stains and sealants to bring back their natural beauty. Sealing the wood is crucial, as it not only enhances the color but also protects the surfaces from further moisture damage, UV exposure, and future storms.

Finally, applying a high-quality wood stain or sealant is essential to protect the wood long-term. Using the right products ensures that fences and furniture maintain their durability and appearance, even when exposed to harsh weather. Gulf Coast Stain & Seal uses premium stains from Armstrong-Clark to offer a long-lasting finish that enhances the wood grain while creating a robust barrier against the elements.
