Project Overview

This 3,400 sq ft single-family home in Orchard Park, NY, featured a large outdoor deck that needed a full refresh. Our crew was tasked with power washing, prepping, and staining the deck, railings, and stairs to restore its beauty and protect it from the elements.

The Challenge: Removing Every Paint Chip for a Smooth Finish

When prepping a deck, it’s crucial to ensure no chips, peeling paint, or loose stain remain. Our crew took the extra step of feather sanding the entire surface to create a smooth, even base, allowing the new stain to penetrate and bond effectively.

Two-Coat Staining for Long-Term Protection

After prep was complete, we:

  • Applied two coats of premium stain to the deck surface for deep, even color and UV protection
  • Carefully coated all railings and stairs for a uniform appearance
  • Ensured proper drying time between coats for maximum durability

Results

The freshly stained deck now has a rich, vibrant finish that not only looks beautiful but will also stand up to the harsh Western New York weather. The homeowners loved the transformation and appreciated the extra care we took in prep work.
