Hi! I'm Ty Rykse, owner of Washed Away. We specialize in exterior cleaning for homes, patios, decks, driveways, and more. At Washed Away, we believe in doing the job right the first time and standing behind our work. Our top priority is making sure every customer is happy and that their property looks exactly how they envision it. A little about me — I’m a 21-year-old college student and college basketball player. I’ve been in the pressure washing business for over three years, during which I’ve gained hands-on experience and developed the skills to tackle a wide range of cleaning challenges. I’ve learned what works — and just as importantly, what doesn’t — to deliver high-quality results. I’d be honored to earn your business and help bring new life to your property!

"Ty communicated well, was on time, he was very personable, worked diligently, and our home looks amazing! We highly recommend him! "

"I had pocket doors in my ranch. They were literally the bane of my existence! They may or may not close they may or may not open! They came in and they removed three pocket doors and my bath door. In their stud, they put in new Oak doors, their encasement and moldings. And they did a superb job at that."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Wood stain is usually dry to the touch within 6 to 8 hours, but you should let each coat sit for 24 hours before applying another coat or applying a protective coat over it. If you applied your stain in high humidity or cold temperatures, you may need to wait up to 48 hours for the stain to dry completely.

The best paint for an older deck depends on the material and whether or not your deck already has a coat of paint. Generally, if your deck already has paint on it, you should choose the same type of paint when repainting the deck. For example, if an old deck has oil-based paint on it, stick with oil; if your deck has water-based paint, choose water-based paint. 

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

Apply a wood stain or sealant to properly maintain a wood deck railing and keep it looking new. Sealants protect wood from moisture and weathering. Regularly inspect the railing for loose screws, damaged balusters, and other signs of wear to make timely repairs. Routinely clean the railing using mild soap, water, and a soft bristle brush.
