Overview on How to Re-Stain a Deck

Our porch has been looking pretty worn lately. In that, I mean it has turned grey and looked like there was no life left. However, it is structurally totally in great shape. We've needed to do a total makeover on our entire porch situation, so we decided that re-staining the deck surface would be the perfect way to start! In this post, we're going to share with you the proper way to re-stain a deck using the Wagner Control Spray 250, which will save you time and effort.

If your old deck needs a facelift, follow these steps to give it a whole new look!

Prepare for Staining

Remove everything from the deck.

Use a paint scraper to get everything out from between the gaps of the boards, then sweep or blow it away.

Use an orbital sander to get off grime on the boards and freshen them up.

Tape edges and surfaces you don’t want to spray.
