Deck Staining
Your deck is a place to relax and entertain your family and friends. However, if your deck is peeling
or faded, it can be an eyesore that keeps you from utilizing this great entertaining space. You should
feel proud to show off the beautiful finishes of your deck and home. Make a commitment to improve
your home and protect your investments.
SWP starts with extensive preparation. This includes deck sanding, and pressure washing. During the
pressure washing process we inject cleaners through our equipment to kill mold and brighten the deck.
These preparation procedures are important to make sure the new stain soaks in and grabs onto the
decks wood fibers.
SWP then waits a couple days for the deck to dry out. The wood on your deck needs to have a moisture
content level less than 12% before staining. If the deck is over 12% moisture level you run the risk of the
moisture working its way out of the wood and prematurely breaking down the new stain.
Before SWP starts staining your deck we protect your plants and patio underneath with drop clothes and
plastic. We first focus on the railings working to make sure all drips are back brushed and the stain is
applied uniformly. After the rails are completed we start on the deck floor.
To be one of the best deck staining companies SWP has to know what products
are successful in our climate. The best policy is to go with a penetrative stain that soaks deep into the wood
and offers UV protection. The alternative is a film-forming stain which sits on the outside of the wood like
a thin sheet of paper. While film-forming products offer a uniform look, the stain will peel when applied
on a horizontal surface.
When choosing a penetrative stain you want a product that will offer UV protection. Clear stains are
appealing to some people because they enhance the look of a new cedar deck by making it look wet but
offer little to no UV protection. Because they offer no UV protection you typically have to re-coat the
deck every year otherwise it will become grey and damaged. SWP deck staining uses a penetrative deck
stain for our customers that looks good with proven results for superior durability and UV protection. Contact SWP for a free estimate. We will perform the highest quality deck staining possible.
