Deck Staining in Apple Valley, MN
Deck Staining Process
We follow a meticulous, step-by-step process to ensure your deck is protected, revitalized, and visually appealing for years to come.
- Thorough Cleaning & Surface Preparation
We begin by power washing the deck to remove dirt, mold, mildew, and all gray, weathered wood. This crucial step restores the surface and prepares it for proper product adhesion. Great care is taken to ensure all areas are cleaned evenly and without damage to the wood.
- Detailed Inspection & Repairs
Once cleaned, we inspect the entire structure for any loose boards, popped nails, or surface damage. We work with the homeowner to ensure any necessary minor repairs are addressed to ensure the deck is structurally sound and ready for finishing.
- Proper Drying Time
After cleaning, the wood is allowed to dry completely—typically 24 to 48 hours, depending on weather conditions—to ensure optimal product penetration and a long-lasting finish.
- Stain Selection & Application
We help you choose the right type and shade of stain based on your wood type and aesthetic preferences. Using professional-grade tools and techniques, we apply the stain evenly and efficiently, ensuring a uniform appearance and consistent coverage.
- Final Inspection & Clean-Up
After staining, we perform a final inspection to confirm the finish meets our standards of quality and your expectations. We then clean up the work area thoroughly, leaving your property in excellent condition.
