I did mine in a day when I bought my new house. When viewing it before I made the offer, it was so green with mold & mildew, I actually considered the cost of replacing the entire deck into my offer. Then I saw this man's video & figured why not. The deck cleaner & brightener is a MUST step. It removed all of the green gunk and immediately made a 85% difference. I then used his method of a big brush to go between all the slats, then used the same method he did using the deck sponge attached to a broom handle. It's a large deck but to do the brightening step & deck surface took about 2 hours combined. The Thomson's waterproof stain in the color cedar was not cheap. It cost about $50 a can here in Iowa. It went one easy & is the consistency of watered down paint. But when it dries you can still see the wood grain which I like since I've always detested "painted" decks. But coming to the handrail & ballasts, ugggg that took a couple more hours & you constantly fight drips that get onto your newly stained deck surface. However I was able to finish this all on a Saturday. Started at 10 a.m. done by 4 p.m. and the transformation was amazing. The old owner even stopped to chat once and said she loved the new deck, so when I told her this was not new but her old deck simply refreshed, she couldn't believe it. CON TO THIS PRODUCT: If you live in any state that gets a lot of winter snow, you'll be highly disappointed come spring. I did this my first year at this house in July 2018, but in March of 2019 the deck was completely destroyed again!!!! Back was the green crap and that new stain from summer was chipped, withered, green, and ugly. That was just with ONE winter. So plan on doing this once every year. Total costs are $45-$60 for the waterproof deck stain, $25-$30 for a decent cleaner/brightener, and about $20 in sponge type applicators, gloves, etc. So this gentleman was spot on when he says you can transform a tired looking deck in 1 day. Just be prepared to do that yearly!!

You are correct, this product just lays on the surface of the wood (which is why it can be applied to moist wood) and it will peel and come loose after a winter. Consider using PPG ProLuxe which is a True Stain, just follow the prep work on can before applying (available at Home Depot if you have one near you)

I just use outdoor bleach and it removes all of the algae/mold/dirt and etc. that the cleaner would do, so not only is it much much cheaper but it also brightens ie. bleaches the wood so when the stain application is applied the color is much more prevalent and looks better imo. And I say this because I actually bought both wood cleaner and outdoor bleach and tested them side by side

Used Thompson Waterseal when we rebuilt our wooden deck. New sanded wood, didn't last a full year. We live , near the beach in southern CA so no freezing weather, not a lot of rain. Not a product I will ever purchase again. Now I have to remove and reseal with a Cabot product this time. Lesson learned the hard way.

Like seeing your updated videos, Ron. I just did my back deck July 4th weekend & used Thompson's WaterSeal Semi-Transparent (Honey tan). (Shows the wood grain, makes it look 'new' and it was 10% off at Lowes!) I was very surprised at how far the 5 gallon can went! I treated a 10 x 60 deck area and have well over 1/2 the can left! (I did NOT do the rails or stiles... those come later.) After fussing with one of those stain pads to apply it... I started using a garden sprayer to apply the WaterSeal itself & THEN used a deck stain pad to "brush" it into the wood. Less aggravation, the stain pad lasts much longer and the results will be great! You can get a 'stain mitt' which you can use to 'grasp' the stiles and apply stain that way - quick & easy! After doing the back deck it poured down rain the next day; watching the water bead up & roll off the new looking deck was great! Don't wait too long to maintain your deck, folks. It's easy (and actually fun!) plus greatly extends the useful life of your deck.

This is not a day job. Take your time and do it right. Have patience. Here's how I did it and it was way more simple. 1. Leaf blower to blow off debris and sweep 2. Punch for loose nails 3. Use hose to rinse off light dirt dust 4. Use a hose with just water and murphy's oil soap/nylon brush to scrub and dry 5. Use 30 second outdoor cleaner with pressure washer let dry 6. Sand/prep where applicable 7. Used Behr Deckover enamel based paint with angle brush to coat in between planks. 8. 2 coats of same paint using a roller with a pole. Came out incredible. Deck looked new. It probably hadn't been treated/painted in at least 4 years.

Nice video Ron. Great work. I would also recommend keeping the pressure washer fan/water continuously moving to the end of each board. If you stop your stroke midway through the board it leaves teeth mark lines that can't be smoothed over. Walk with the gun/wand all the way down the deck. If you have to stop flare out the fan. No stopping on the wood. Cheers.

Here is my train of thought after watching a few youtube videos. 1. Knock down any nails. 2. Rent a deck sander and sand the entire deck? It's not rough but I want my stain to bind good. 3. Pressure wash it. 4. Stain it. I'll start with the spindles and hand rails then use a wide roller & brushes. What are your thoughts? Im open to change my plan. Thanks
@travismccormick2233
@travismccormick2233 4 жыл бұрын
If sanding is meant to remove old stain coat, skip it. Depending on type of stain and how badly weathered, it may come mostly or all off with pressure washing after applying a bleach based cleaning solution. If that is not sufficient, you can apply a water based stripper to break down stain which can then be cleaned away with pressure washer. Works great but very messy and must wear proper PPE! Sanding is difficult to get all surfaces properly and prone to damage wood if you are not proficient with equipment.

Modern construction practice is to screw in the two anchoring points on either end of the board, so each plank would have four screws. Then the Manuel labor comes along with a power nailer and nails the rest of the plank to the cross beams. That's for a GOOD construction job. Most of the time it's just some nimrod with a power nailer and you spend every summer thereafter pounding nails in your deck.

One thing I never do when pressure washing and staining a deck is wear my good dress cloths and shoes. Second I use a 3,400 psi commercial pressure washer and a 25° tip and also use a green biodegradable cleaner along with the pressure washing like Krud Kutter or Simple Green. I normally always use Olympic Maximum deck stain and always do my railings first with a brush and then my deck surface with a 3/4 inch nap roller. The brush will help you get the stain in all the tight areas and spread better and the 3/4inch nap roller will hold and spread a lot more stain into those tight areas and cracks better, especially when doing old weathered deck boards. The flat sponge type doesn't hold and spread much and gets caught up on all the splinters really easy. They may be good for super smooth board applications though.

Ive done many jobs like that in a day, but like i said, 15 years practice with all the right tools and knowledge. For a DIY’er its a long weekend job, possibly for 2 ppl. Even though he said it i also would NEVER recommend applying stain over damp wood, EVER. Everything i saw is correct, just spread it out a bit. Take your time and do it over a couple dry weekends and you’ll be much happier. P.S. video also didnt make it crystal clear. That was an acrylic stain(waterbase). You do that with oil base and its a 100% failure rate with damp/wet wood.

Unfortunately the easier it looks the worse the result. We've pretty much become "the guys" to call for deck staining in our area over the last 3 yrs. and I've never done one in one day. I generally pressure wash/clean 3 or 4 decks during a rainy stretch then go back and stain them 2-4 days later. I'd have replaced many of those floor boards, spent a couple hours sanding and we get on our kneepads and brush the stain in. Lapmarks are unacceptable as well as drips from staining the spindles. I make guys sand them out if they drip on the deck.

Buyer beware! If you pressure wash a deck, you need to let all the water that has been forced into the wood dry out. Otherwise you'll be sealing the moisture in the wood which will cause the sealer/stain to fail. We let our decks dry at least 1 full day after pressure washing before sealing or staining. So, at a minimum, you would need 3 good days in a row to complete any deck. Or at least 2. You could technically clean it on a rainy day.

cloudbuster77 : it's actually 60 days after installing wet pressure treated wood. Usually 2 to 3 days after pressure washing according on the Temps and humidity in that area before staining. I usually always use Olympic Maximum deck stain and when using their semi transparent stain a few weeks ago on a deck I read on the label that you can pressure wash/clean and stain in the same day though I really would never do that. I want completely dry wood so as to soak up as much stain as possible.

Should always give a good 24-48hr dry time period to ensure all the wood is fully dry before painting/staining. Unless of course when using a product that can be applied when wet. Even then still better to dry first. Wood wet expands.

Perfect example of a click-bait "headline" distorting the project. With any normal dry-times between steps, we figure anyone else would take most of a week--weather permitting--maybe more. Also, pressure-washers can be death on wood decks, ripping the top fibers, depending on the wood species age, condition, etc. Further it's Essential to wipe off stain after applying--not mentioned--or inevitable pooling will not set up. Especially if you start with trying to get in the cracks. The slop on the top surface has to be wiped immediately. and even then you get slop you have to remove or cover somehow. Finished deck looked like brown paint, anyway. Love Ron, but this was just foolish.
