Q: Do I need to clean my deck before staining?

• <div><p>Yes, you need to thoroughly clean the deck surface before <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-stain-a-deck.htm">staining your deck</a>. Dirt, debris, and mildew can settle on the surface of your wood. If you do not properly clean it, these stains will get trapped between the wood and the stain. Not only does this present an unsightly surface, but your wood will only partially be protected by the stain, meaning you'll need to stain again sooner.</p></div>

Q: Do deck stringers need hangers?

• <div><p>Hangers are one way of attaching stair stringers to a deck. These metal hangers are usually adjustable, allowing you to find the ideal angle for a secure installation. They&rsquo;re the best choice for installing longer staircases, such as one on a two-story deck, to reduce the load on the deck frame while keeping the stairs stable.</p></div>

Q: Does stain get darker after it dries?

• <div><p>The opposite is actually true: Wood stains tend to appear lighter when they&rsquo;re fully dry. However, stains may darken as they weather and oxidize with age. Stains might also darken on surfaces left in direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down pigment particles and cause them to darken over time.</p></div>

Q: How do you keep pressure-treated wood from rotting?

• <div><p>Various kinds of substances and deck preservatives act as protective coatings for wood to prevent rot, which is caused by water getting into the wood and creating cracks and splits. Stains, paints, and sealants are the three best options to protect your wood, but there are also oils, varnishes, and waxes available. You&rsquo;ll need to reapply sealant at least once per year, and you should <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-often-should-i-inspect-my-deck.htm">inspect your wood deck</a> regularly to look for signs of damage or general wear and tear.</p></div>

Q: Should you hire someone to stain a deck?

• <div><p>Hiring a contractor or professional deck refinisher is the best way to ensure your deck is properly stained. They have the expertise, tools, and supplies to do the job quickly and efficiently. However, staining a deck is a manageable task for most homeowners, and doing the job yourself can save money. Just keep in mind that DIY staining is a long process requiring physical strain, so it may not be the best option for everyone. </p></div>

They kept everything clean. They did a good job. I did have to clean a little after them. They did the job as I had asked them to. I can't remember for sure, but I think they were a little late showing up.
