Merricks North property context
An occupied Merricks North property may need preparation before deck restoration can begin. Send wide deck photos, close board and fixing images, the current finish and any weathered or damaged areas. Mention rooms that need to remain usable and identify who can agree the scope and arrange entry. For a Merricks North quote, describe each task separately and note height, parking, tenant access or preferred appointment windows. This gives the Owner enough context to assess the request without collecting unnecessary personal information.
Planning the work
Plan and complete agreed preparation and compatible finish maintenance on suitable sound boards, with repair items identified separately. Identify any additional items separately so the scope and preparation are understood by everyone arranging the work.
Allow the agreed finish to cure as directed and report loose boards, rot or coating failure before using the deck normally. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
Review board condition, fixing safety, prior coating and moisture exposure before deciding whether a maintenance sequence is suitable. Any unresolved requirement should be explained before committing to a visit or buying additional materials.
Clear the immediate working area where safe and explain heavy furniture or restricted entry. For rentals or managed properties, agree the appropriate permission and identify the person who can provide access.
