I had an excellent experience with Del-Mar Roofing and Siding. From start to finish, Chip was absolutely fantastic to work with—friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I understood the entire process. On top of that, he gave me a great price without compromising on quality. His crew was equally impressive. They were polite, hardworking, and very professional throughout the project. They completed the job efficiently and left everything clean when they were done. I couldn’t be happier with the results! My roof looks great, and I feel confident knowing the job was done right. I would absolutely use Del-Mar Roofing and Siding again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone in need of roofing services.

Expert Deck Sealing in Dover, DE
Deck sealing in Dover, DE is not optional maintenance. It is how you protect your investment. Dover sits in a humid subtropical climate, with annual rainfall near 48 inches, hot and humid summers, and freeze-thaw cycles each winter. That combination drives moisture into unprotected wood, causing warping, splitting, and rot. Delmar Roofing and Siding handles the full process: surface inspection, power washing, sanding, board repair, and sealer application along the wood grain for full coverage. We seal railings, deck boards, edges, and the gaps between boards. Nothing gets skipped. Whether your deck shows early graying, surface cracking, or worn-out sealer that no longer beads water, we assess the condition first and apply the right protective coat for your wood type. Dover homeowners who seal regularly avoid the far higher cost of full deck replacement. If your deck is ready for a protective treatment, contact Delmar Roofing and Siding to schedule a visit.

Deck Sealing FAQ
Common questions about deck sealing in Dover, DE.
Not always. Dover's high humidity and heavy rainfall mean most wood decks need resealing periodically, but the right interval depends on your wood type, sun exposure, and how the current sealer is holding up. A simple water-bead test tells you when the wood is ready for a fresh coat.
Yes. We clean the surface first, removing mold, mildew, and dirt before any sealer goes down. Sealing over a dirty or moldy deck in Dover traps the problem under the coating and leads to a poor finish.
Water no longer beading on the surface is the clearest sign. You may also notice graying wood, surface cracks, splinters, or visible mold, all of which mean the wood is absorbing moisture and needs protection.
Yes. We inspect for loose boards, protruding nails, and soft or rotted wood before we seal. Sealing over damaged boards in Dover does not fix the underlying problem and shortens the life of the new coat.
Yes. A clean, sealed deck signals to buyers that the home has been maintained. A weathered or rotting deck in Dover can raise concerns and reduce perceived property value before a buyer ever steps inside.
Yes. We work on decks of all ages across Dover, DE. Older decks often need more prep work, including sanding and board repair, before sealing, and we assess that during our initial inspection.
