Furniture Refinishing

Today at the shop we're sanding patio furniture we picked up from a customer's home. Sanding is the second step in our refinishing process. The first, as seen in the photo above, was pressure washing each piece of furniture to ensure that they are completely clean before sanding.
​
After sanding, our shop crew will start the staining process with Daly's deck stain. We are using deck stain because it is very durable and best suited for outdoor furniture. More info on Daly's deckstain here.

House washing | Concrete washing @ Seley Services

It's spring time and the sun is starting to shine, which  means it's time to get your home ready for summer!  Seley Services can wash your home and all exterior surfaces - maintaining your paint finishes and adding some major curb appeal!  Add an upgrade with concrete washing. 

Descriptions of all washing services below.

HOUSE WASHING
​
​Pressure washing removes dirt, mold, insects and other debris from the exterior of a home or structure.
​
​Cleaning your home annually (we recommend at least once per year) will not only keep the surface itself in tact, but will ensure that you get the highest quality and longest life out of your paint and stain while keeping your property looking pristine.

CONCRETE WASHING
​​​
Pressure washing is a great way to clean the grunge and grime from concrete driveways, pathways and patios. By using a pressure washer properly, we can eliminate ugly oil stains and the danger that someone will slip on slick dirt.

CONCRETE SEALING
​
Concrete sealant is a product that is placed on top of concrete that has already been poured and dried, creating a permanent seal that is designed to keep rain, water and other substances from penetrating and damaging the concrete.
​
Sealing concrete helps to make the poured concrete last much longer, preventing water from getting into cracks and pores to cause erosion. Having water in the concrete can also lead to cracking when temperatures fall and the water freezes, making concrete sealant essential in areas that experience severe low temperatures during the winter.

Accent Walls: Just One Can Go A Long Way!

If you're looking to change the color or style in your home but aren't sure where to start, you might be surprised at how much just one accent wall can add!  Here, we added one accent wall to an all-white painted condo in downtown Bellevue.  Daly's C2 "Saddle" added warmth and color to the living room - updating the entire look of the condo.
