Deck Washing & Staining FAQs
Do you wash the deck before staining?
Yes. Proper deck cleaning is one of the most important steps before staining because it removes dirt, mildew, algae, and buildup.
Can you stain over peeling stain?
Usually not without prep. Peeling or flaking stain should be scraped or sanded where needed so the new finish has a better surface.
How long does a deck need to dry before staining?
Dry time depends on weather, shade, humidity, and the deck surface. We explain the timing during your estimate so the stain is applied under better conditions.

Yes. We can stain deck boards, railings, spindles, steps, privacy walls, and other exterior wood surfaces.
