Gather Your Materials

Before you begin, you should gather all of the necessary materials to stain your deck. This will include your chosen deck stain, paint brushes, painter's tape, a paint tray, and a drop cloth. You can also invest in a paint pad and pole if you like.

Clean Your Deck & Wait for It to Dry

Your deck needs to be completely free from any type of material or debris on its surface, so a good cleaning is in order. A pressure washing is recommended, as it will remove all of the grime, bird droppings, sap, and other hard-to-remove substances. Wait for your deck to be completely dry before staining. DJ's Painting offers pressure washing services. Learn more today.
