"Colorful Designs was my last quote. From the moment I met Ismael, I knew I was going to choose him for the job. He was professional, personable, and completely informative with the entire process. Ismael took the time. Within 10 minutes of taking time, taking notes and, answering questions, he had a formalized quote for me. He was quick to respond prior to picking out a color, and picking a start date. He always based the schedule on me and how he would proceed with the job. His attention to detail was impeccable. I cannot recommend this Bussiness, Ismael, or his hard working employee more!"

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.
Yes, it is important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.
You can refresh a painted deck by either giving it a thorough cleaning or refinishing the deck altogether. Chipped or faded paint, as well as extensive damage, often calls for a new finish.
