Stain. We never recommend using paint on decks. Stain penetrates into the wood and allows it to breathe, while paint lays on top and can trap moisture and eventually peel up.
How do I choose the right transparency and color?
It all depends on the condition of your deck and the look you want to achieve. For example, a solid stain is great for older decks as it helps hide imperfections and looks the most like paint. Semi-transparent or Semi-solid stains are great for newer decks that want the beauty of the natural wood grain to show through.
Does the deck need to be washed?
Yes, we always wash decks before staining. We apply mold and mildew deck cleaner, scrub the deck, then power wash.
How long does deck stain last?
Decks in Michigan receive a beating from the elements, especially being a horizontal surface. That being said it is difficult to guarantee any length of time your deck stain will last before needing another application. We recommend staining your deck every 2 - 3 years for the best protection.
