Solid Stain
While the look of solid stains obscures wood grains, any pitting, scarring and other indicators of age can be hidden.
Apply Stain
Plan to stain once the deck is completely dry and no rain is in the immediate forecast. Tape off edges as needed and make sure no debris is present. A paint pad or roller can be used to apply stain to the deck, but care should be taken to apply evenly. Solid stains are more forgiving, but an uneven application or “touch up” spots will stand out when using semi-transparent stains. westchesterpainters.net
Leave an Escape Route
Apply stain from corner or wall to deck edge to allow an egress when finishing up.
Continued Maintenance
A yearly cleaning and inspection will keep the deck looking good, but expect to re-stain in anywhere from three to 6 years, depending on the type of stain used. Proper care and maintenance of your deck can drastically increase its lifespan with minimal expense. TESTIMONIALS
