Once your deck has been stained, it will need to be freshened up every 2-3 years. Below are a few of the signs that your deck could use a new coat of stain.
Color Fading
Mold or Mildew Buildup
Moisture Damage
When a deck needs to be stained, it can’t be simply patch treated. The entire surface of your deck will need to be stained at the same time to ensure that the color completely matches. An oil-based stain will often be best for protecting your deck from excess moisture.
