Can you stain over a peeling stain?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

How much does a five-gallon bucket of stain cover?

• <div><p>A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.</p></div>

Q: Can you stain over a peeling stain?

• <div><p>You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it&rsquo;s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you&rsquo;re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application.

Q: Can liquid rubber damage my deck?

• <div><p>Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it&rsquo;s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn&rsquo;t completely dry before application. Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to paint over old deck paint?

• <div><p>Yes, you can paint over old deck paint, but only if it&rsquo;s in good condition and still adheres well to the deck. If the paint is flaking, cracking, or peeling, you need to sand it smooth before painting or your new paint will not adhere properly to the surface.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to pressure wash a deck before staining?

• <div><p>Yes, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-power-wash-deck.htm">pressure washing your deck</a> before staining is a great idea because it clears the wood from any dirt, dust, and debris that could get in the way of solid stain coverage. Washing makes it easier to stain your deck and helps the stain grip the wood so it lasts longer. Pressure washers are faster and easier on your body than scrubbing your deck by hand. </p></div>

These guys were fantastic! On time and on point. We had one deck that needed a complete overhaul, and another that we wanted extended. Start to finish, no issues. Took 6 days, with Eric doing most of the heavy lifting. We could not be happier with the result.
