Already Pressure Washing? Learn to Offer Exterior Wood Restoration
If you’re already cleaning houses and decks, you may be working for customers who also need wood restoration. Knowing how to assess, prepare, and stain those surfaces gives you another service to discuss—and another opportunity to grow your business.
Join Everett Abrams, the Wizard of Wood, for a two-day Exterior Wood Restoration Boot Camp November 6–7, 2026, in Shamong, New Jersey.
Go Beyond Cleaning
Cleaning a deck and restoring one require different decisions. Existing coatings, wood species, surface condition, and customer expectations all affect the work.
Through classroom instruction and hands-on demonstrations, Everett will explain how to evaluate those factors and choose an appropriate process. You’ll work directly with professional products and equipment while learning skills that apply to decks, fences, wood-sided homes, log cabins, and more.
Understand the Business Behind the Service
Adding a service only helps when you understand how to perform and price it. This class connects restoration techniques with the estimating and planning needed to make the work worthwhile.
Topics include:
Inspecting wood and identifying existing coatings
Determining when to clean, strip, sand, brighten, or stain
Choosing products and equipment for the job
Accounting for preparation, labor, and materials
Developing pricing and maintenance programs
Avoiding mistakes that lead to extra work and callbacks
Bring your questions about the jobs you currently encounter. This is an opportunity to discuss them directly with an experienced restoration contractor and instructor.
Get Hands-On Before Your Next Customer Project
Our training deck gives you a place to practice with Everett there to explain the steps and answer questions. You can build your understanding before applying those skills on a paying customer’s property.
Registration also includes lunch both days, a FREE Exterior Wood Restoration Manual, professional company documents and logos, Wizard of Wood support, and an invitation to the private Wizard Nation Facebook group.
