Direct answer We restore existing wood decks near Aveiro, Vagos and Ílhavo: sanding to bring back colour and fibres, spot repair of damaged boards, and a final protective treatment. A greyed deck doesn't mean it's rotting. In most cases it recovers without replacing the wood. Price is always confirmed after an on-site assessment. 02 ## Clean, sand or replace: how we decide Cleaning handles surface dirt and algae. Sanding treats damaged fibres and restores colour without touching the structure. Spot replacement only applies when a specific board is rotten or structurally compromised. We don't install new decks, only restore and repair existing ones. 03 ## How the restoration works 01 ### Photos sent in and an on-site assessment of the wood 02 ### Test on a discreet area 03 ### Sanding of affected areas 04 ### Spot repair of boards or fixings if needed 05 ### Full drying, then application of a UV-protective oil or saturator ![Sanding a timber board with an orbital sander, hands and machine in view](https://www.puroterraco.pt/_astro/05-lixage-mecanique-bois.Cppyu7P0_l5Czl.jpeg) 04 ## Service limits What we don't do We don't install new wood decks, only restore existing structures.

Frequently asked questions ### Should I clean, sand or replace my wood deck? It depends on the real condition of the wood: cleaning handles surface dirt, sanding treats raised fibres, and replacement is only needed for rotten or structurally compromised boards. ### How do I restore a greyed wood deck? Greying alone does not prove rot or mean that sanding is needed. Cleaning, compatible grey-wood treatment or sanding are chosen after assessing the wood and its existing finish. Repairs and replacement require an on-site assessment.
