"I just moved to a new home, and I knew my deck needed maintenance but wasn't exactly sure what needed to be done. The railing seemed a little loose, and the wood was really dry and cracked. I had a couple bids to get my deck stained, but I also wanted to know what to do to correct the loose rail. The other bidders specialized in just painting and staining, so they didn't have input on the railing. The team from superpainters recommended some board replacement, which was what I thought needed to be done. I decided to go that route with a stain and replacement of rotten boards. We replaced all floorboards, and the 4x4's holding the rail, and sanded and stained the deck. When they started taking off the rail I stuck my finger into one of the rail boards and it was basically mush, then I went down and peeked at the floor boards that were removed, which were beginning to weaken to the point that the ends disintegrated just by flicking my finger at the wood. It was an accident waiting to happen, and my deck is up 1 story so I am so thankful that I went the route of replacing boards, and not just a stain. I asked them to find a stain that matches the natural wood color, and they sent me pictures from the store and recommended this clear honey-tinted color, which resulted in a gorgeous 2 tone deck due to the older wood being a darker hue and the newer replacement wood being lighter. Everybody that comes to my place compliments my deck. I just went to a neighborhood gathering and the new neighbors I haven't met asked me...are you the one with the deck that just got refinished because it is gorgeous. My goal was to be safe, but I am so happy with how beautiful it turned out."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is generally a very good idea to seal your deck after pressure washing. Power washing removes not only dirt and debris but also a thin layer of wood, leaving the surface exposed and more susceptible to weathering. Sealing is almost always needed after this process. After a general cleaning, sealing isn't automatically necessary if the existing sealant is still intact. You can test the surface by placing a few drops of water on it. If the water beads up, the sealant is working. If it soaks into the wood, it's time to apply a new sealant. If it has been a few years, it's wise to remove the old sealant, wash the deck, and reseal for maximum protection.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

Staining pressure-treated wood is a recommended practice. While inherently resilient, it's not impervious to moisture and UV exposure. Staining treated wood is feasible and recommended for enhanced protection and longevity. Applying stain and sealant safeguards against degradation, prolonging its life span. These measures shield the wood from environmental threats while augmenting its aesthetic appeal, ensuring your investment endures the test of time.

When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.

DIY staining or painting is manageable with proper preparation, including safety measures, necessary tools, and adherence to safe weather conditions for application.
