"Ryan and Trudy scraped and power washed the deck then returned and scraped the deck again. They then applied by brush two coats of Sherwin-Williams Super Deck. Trudy (Ryan's wife) recommended a different tint to complement the siding. When completed our 30 plus deck looked brand new with a better color. Best paint restoration ever!"

"I couldn't be happier with the work completed by Garcia Painting LLC. As a family-owned company, they truly bring a personal touch to everything they do. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, their team was professional, punctual, and incredibly detail-oriented. They took the time to properly prepare every surface, kept the work area clean, and delivered a finish that completely transformed our space. The quality of the painting exceeded my expectations, with crisp lines, smooth coverage, and outstanding attention to detail. What stood out most was the pride they take in their work and the genuine care they show their customers. The crew was friendly, respectful, and communicative throughout the entire project. I highly recommend them!"

"The owner, Adam, was responsive to our calls and questions. We have an older home and his crew did a good job making it look good. They painted our decks as well. The workers were polite and worked in very hot weather and during smokey conditions from wildfires. His cost was the same as another quote. We would hire them again. Bob"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

Oxygen bleach uses hydrogen peroxide as a base and won’t harm wood when using it as a cleaner. On the other hand, chlorine bleach breaks down wood at the cellular level and causes irreversible harm. Although you may not see immediate damage to wood after exposing it to chlorine bleach, its strength and integrity are now compromised.

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.

It’s often best to spray on deck sealer. Sprayers can apply sealant more quickly and evenly than rolling while still enabling you to reach tight spaces. When using a sprayer, always use a low-pressure setting at a close distance to ensure an even application. Avoid using sprayers on windy days.
