A beautiful finish starts with careful preparation. We cleaned the deck and fence to remove dirt and buildup, then brightened the wood to prepare it for staining. Once dry, we applied semi-transparent Chestnut stain from Expert Stain & Seal. The deck was stained entirely by hand brushing, while the fence was sprayed and back brushed to work the stain into the wood and even out coverage. From deck boards and railings to individual fence pickets, each surface received careful attention for a refreshed finish and protection from the elements.
