The work

The before and after record

Kurt has been photographing jobs across Olney, Bethesda, North Bethesda, Silver Spring and Gaithersburg for years. This is a real record of decks, walls and walks he has restored, not staged photography, the wash line straight down the middle of every one of them.

Decks

A deck shown in three stages: gray weathered boards, stripped bare cedar, and freshly stained red-orange boards

After: freshly sealed boards, still wet, the finish that follows the strip and wash.

Cedar and hardwood

Restoring Ipé wood. Cedar and Ipé don't get the pine treatment, they need a gentler hand.
