About This Project
This Natick homeowner had a 400 square foot pressure-treated deck that had not been stained in several years. The wood was weathered and gray but structurally sound. We power washed, applied a wood brightener, and applied two coats of Defy Extreme penetrating stain.
What Made This Project Successful
Wood brightener restores color
A wood brightener neutralizes the gray oxidation that forms on weathered wood and opens the grain to accept stain evenly. We never skip this step on weathered decks.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long after power washing can you stain a deck?
We wait at least 48–72 hours after power washing before applying stain. The wood must be completely dry for the stain to penetrate and adhere properly.
