Deck Medic
Deck Medic is a deck restoration and staining company serving Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville, Mississauga and Toronto with a proprietary Weather-Shield process built for Canadian freeze-thaw cycles. The company's four-step method aims for finishes that resist peeling for three to five years.
Strengths
- Uses a four-step process including mechanical sanding, not just washing and staining.
- Finishes are positioned to resist peeling for three to five years.
- Covers full structural deck restoration, not only surface staining.
- Also services fences and pergolas, not decks exclusively.
Considerations
- A more thorough four-step process likely costs more than a basic wash-and-stain service.
- Mechanical sanding and full restoration take longer than a simple recoat, worth factoring into scheduling.
- Best suited to decks needing real restoration rather than a quick colour refresh on already sound wood.
Best for
- Weathered or peeling decks needing full restoration
- Homeowners wanting fence staining alongside deck work
- Anyone wanting a finish expected to last three to five years
- Pergola or gazebo staining paired with a deck project
What They Do
Deck Medic offers deck staining and sealing, full-service deck restoration, power washing and deep cleaning, and fence staining and restoration, covering both the prep work and the final finish rather than just applying stain over existing wood. Structural restoration is included alongside cosmetic staining, and the service extends to fences, not decks alone, plus pergola treatments. The company describes its process as built specifically for the region's freeze-thaw conditions.
How They Work
The company follows a four-step process: assessment, deep power washing, mechanical sanding, and application of a premium penetrating stain, using proprietary Weather-Shield technology as the branded name for its overall approach. Mechanical sanding in particular is a more involved prep step than simple washing and is aimed at helping stain adhere and last three to five years rather than peeling within a season or two. This positions the company toward a more thorough, longer-lasting result over a quick spray-and-go job.
What Homeowners Say
One reviewer said the sanding and prep work made all the difference, describing the finish as flawless and one that has held up beautifully. Another customer described the crew as punctual and tidy, saying the deck looks better than new and the stain colour was exactly what they wanted.
