Deck Staining FAQs
How often does my wood deck need to be cleaned and sealed?
Most wood decks require professional cleaning every year, and re-sealing or re-staining every 2 to 4 years, depending on the product used and the amount of sun and rain exposure.
Is it better to use a transparent or solid stain?
Transparent and semi-transparent stains highlight the natural wood grain and look better on new wood. Solid stains cover the wood entirely, provide maximum UV protection, and are best for older, weathered decks.
