"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

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. 

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

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.

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.

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.
