Sanding is not a requirement for staining a deck. The sanding process enhances the feel of the deck and can improve the appearance, but sanding is not always required. When preparing your estimate, your local painting team will discuss the best preparation techniques they can do based on the needs of your unique project.

What's the best wat to pick a color for my deck?

If your deck previously stained with a solid color stain, we recommend sticking with a solid shade. If it had a semi-transparent stain, you’re free to select a hue. For solid colors, we suggest procuring a few samples from a Sherwin-Williams store and testing them on your deck for an accurate shade representation, as real-life colors often appear lighter than in catalogs. For semi-transparent choices, an online pick will suffice.

Can I provide a my own stain?

Absolutely! While we value customer preferences, please note that if you provide your own stain, our work will not come with a warranty.
