BHE Management – Monticello Irvine
Location: Irvine, California 92602
Project Type: Teak Furniture Maintenance
Products Used: Dark Semco


Project Overview
Nestled in the quiet, tree-lined pathways of the Monticello Irvine community, this teak bench restoration project was initiated to bring new life to several outdoor seating areas managed by BHE Management. The benches, though structurally sound, had lost their natural luster due to constant exposure to sun, moisture, and daily wear.
Cleaning and Surface Preparation
Before applying any protective treatments, our team performed a deep clean to remove surface contaminants including dirt, mold, and environmental buildup. This step is essential to reveal the original grain of the wood and ensure optimal absorption of the finish.
Product Application: Dark Semco Sealer
After the cleaning process, we applied Dark Semco, a high-quality teak sealer that enhances the wood’s grain with a rich, dark hue while providing superior protection from UV rays, rain, and daily exposure. The sealer brings out the teak’s natural contrast and ensures long-lasting results with minimal maintenance.
Final Results
The benches now boast a renewed elegance that elevates the community’s walkways and gardens. The deep tone of the Dark Semco complements the landscaping beautifully, offering both residents and visitors a welcoming, well-maintained place to sit and enjoy the surroundings. More importantly, the treatment ensures the longevity of the teak wood, reducing future repair needs.
