Why Deck Staining is Essential for Every Wooden Deck

Staining your deck is not just about aesthetics; it’s a protective measure for the wood. A properly stained deck repels water, resists mold, and stands up to the harshness of changing seasons. Deck staining is an essential part of deck maintenance for several reasons:
Protection
Preservation
Enhancement
Safety

Routine Deck Maintenance

Your deck is the center point to family barbecues, relaxing Sundays, a play area for kids and pets, and time spent with good friends. Nevertheless, decks are exposed to the elements year-round, so establishing an upkeep routine that will protect your deck and prevent the need for future repairs is critical. Keep your deck looking its very best with Henry's Painting & Contracting.
1. Pressure Washing
Dirt and debris cause mold and mildew, which can lead to rot. Remove dirt and other debris with a power washer. If you don't have one, you can rent one from most local hardware stores. Be sure to keep the pressure stream moving to avoid a gouge in the wood of the deck. Once you are finished, simply let it dry overnight.
2. Deck Cleaning
Before applying new paint or stain to your deck, you’ll have to make sure that it is clean and smooth so that the finish will soak in and provide a clean finish.
3. Fix and Repair
Remove any unevenness in your deck by replacing loose or broken boards. Pay special attention to areas where the boards cross joists, particularly underneath the deck. Also, fix any loose nails and screws. Simple but important!
