Deck Paint AND oUTdoor Stain
The best way to protect your deck is to have it stained/ painted on a regular basis. Stain and paint wears off over time allowing water to make contact with the wood causing mold and possible rotting to occur.
Our 5⭐ Process to Restain/ Paint a Deck
Preparation
Clear the deck of furniture, plants, and any other items.
Cover nearby plants and surfaces with drop cloths.
Pressure Washing
Use a pressure washer to clean the deck thoroughly, removing dirt, mildew, and old finishes.
Allow the deck to dry completely.
Scraping
Inspect the deck for any peeling or flaking paint/stain.
Use a putty knife or scraper to remove any loose paint or stain.
Sanding
Sand the deck boards to smooth rough areas and prepare the surface for staining/painting.
Use a power sander for large areas and hand sanding for corners and edges.
Applying Primer (if painting)
Apply a high-quality exterior primer suitable for wood surfaces to all exposed wood.
Allow the primer to dry completely.
Apply First Coat of Paint/Stain
Use a brush, roller, or sprayer to apply the first coat of stain or paint evenly.
Work in small sections, and maintain a wet edge to avoid lap marks.
Allow the first coat to dry completely.
Apply Second Coat of Paint/Stain
Apply a second coat for added protection and a richer color.
Again, work in sections and ensure even application.
By following these steps, you'll ensure a fresh, long-lasting finish for your deck!
