It is imperative that a new deck has been allowed to dry out for a good 30 days before any stain can be applied to its surface. However, the climate will also play a role in when you should have your new deck stained as well. This is why we recommend working with our staining professionals at CertaPro Painters\u00ae of Rochester Southeast on your next staining service.<\/p>\n<h2>What to Know About Staining an Older Deck<\/h2>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Color Fading<\/li>\n<li>Mold or Mildew Buildup<\/li>\n<li>Moisture Damage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When a deck needs to be stained, it can\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n<h2>Schedule Your Next Deck Staining Project Today<\/h2>\n<p>Deck staining and painting services take a lot of dedication and hard work.
