From the free quote to the final rinse, deck restoration & staining for pressure-treated wood in your area follows a simple process: inspect, protect, clean, rinse and check. On pressure-treated wood, the method we use is low-pressure wash.

How we clean it

Low-pressure washCleaning method
Usually 500-1,200 PSI with a wide fan tipPressure

Cleaning solution: An oxygen-based or sodium percarbonate wood cleaner, then an oxalic acid brightener.

What to know about cleaning pressure-treated wood

Pressure-treated pine is the most common deck and fence wood. It grays, mildews and gets slippery when wet. A wood cleaner does most of the work, and a brightener afterward restores the wood's color and helps new stain soak in.

Avoid: High pressure and narrow tips, which leave furry, gouged boards and lap marks.

How often: Clean yearly; restain every 2-3 years.

Is it time for deck restoration & staining for pressure-treated wood?

  • Stain peeling, flaking or worn through in traffic areas
  • Gray wood that soaks up water
  • Cracking, splitting or splinters
  • Black spots that come back after washing

Where the grime comes from

  • UV breaking down the stain and wood surface
  • Film-forming stains that peel instead of wearing
  • Water standing on boards
  • Mildew feeding on old finish

Safe steps for homeowners

  • Do the 'water drop test': if water soaks in instead of beading, the wood needs sealing
  • Replace or fasten loose boards and popped nails first
  • Keep the deck clean between finishes

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Stain over dirty or damp wood, which peels quickly
  • Stripping with too much pressure
  • Mixing incompatible old and new stains
  • Staining in direct hot sun, which leaves lap marks

Is deck restoration & staining for pressure-treated wood safe for my plants and pets?

We pre-wet plants and lawns, keep cleaning solutions diluted to what the surface needs, and rinse landscaping again when we finish. Keep pets and children inside until surfaces are rinsed and dry.

How often should I schedule deck restoration & staining for pressure-treated wood?

Clean yearly; restain every 2-3 years. Shade, nearby trees, humidity and heavy traffic mean more frequent cleaning; sunny, dry spots can go longer. Our free cleaning frequency tool gives a recommendation for your climate.

What if it rains on the day?

Light rain doesn't stop most washing, but heavy rain, high wind, lightning and freezing temperatures do, and sealers and stains need dry weather to cure. If the weather isn't right, we reschedule at no charge. Our work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee.
