The Process

When it comes to home maintenance, deck staining is an important and necessary task that should be done on a regular basis. Decks that are exposed to the elements can become faded, stained, and rotted over time.

 

Cleaning the deck:

The first step in deck staining and restoration is to clean the deck. This should be done with a power washer or a scrub brush and water. This will remove all dirt, debris, and mildew from the surface. After this, it is important to let the deck completely dry before beginning to stain it.

​

Types of Stain:

When it comes to deck staining and restoration, there are a few different types of stains that can be used. These include oil-based stains, water-based stains, and semi-transparent stains. Oil-based stains are the most durable, but they take the longest to dry. Water-based stains provide a more uniform color but don’t last as long. Semi-transparent stains provide a more natural look and last longer. Once the correct type of stain has been chosen, it’s time to apply it to the deck. 

 

Maintaining the Finish:

Deck staining and restoration can be a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. However, with regular maintenance, your deck will continue to look great for years to come. The key is to make sure that the initial cleaning and staining is done properly. This will ensure that the deck looks great and lasts as long as possible. It’s also important to remember that deck staining and restoration is an ongoing process. Depending on the climate and other factors, it may be necessary to repeat the process every couple of years. This will help to keep the deck looking its best and ensure that it will last for years to come.
