Why Prep Matters More Than the Stain Itself

The Biggest Mistake in Fence & Deck Staining

Most staining failures are caused by poor preparation, not product choice.

What Proper Preparation Includes

Preparation includes cleaning, drying, sanding high-wear areas, and addressing peeling or damaged sections.

Why Spray-Only Applications Fail Early

Without proper prep, spray-only applications fail to penetrate wood and often fade or peel prematurely.

Prep and Longevity Go Hand in Hand

Proper preparation improves absorption, color consistency, and lifespan.

When to Re-Prep Instead of Re-Stain

If surfaces show peeling or uneven wear, re-prepping is essential before applying new stain.
