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.
