Before & After
Before
Rotted boards replaced, deck cleaned and brightened, solid stain applied.
About This Project
This Hopkinton deck had several rotted boards near the ledger and around the post bases that needed to be replaced before staining. We identified and replaced all rotted material, then cleaned, brightened, and applied a solid stain throughout.
What Made This Project Successful
Address rot before staining
Staining over rotted wood is a short-term fix. We identify and replace all rotted material before applying any finish — it is the only way to ensure the stain job lasts.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you identify rotted deck boards?
We probe all boards with a screwdriver — rotted wood is soft and will compress or break under light pressure. We also inspect all post bases, ledger boards, and rim joists, which are the most common areas for rot.
