The team at James River Remodeling often gets phone calls to finish deck staining projects that went wrong. We've seen it all!
Common problems to watch for when staining a deck include:
- Not cleaning the deck thoroughly before staining can lead to uneven coverage.
- Not allowing the deck to dry completely before applying the stain, which can cause it to bubble or blister.
- Applying the stain too thickly can cause it to peel or crack.
- Not applying a second coat of stain, which can lead to uneven color and fading.
