Project scope

What we did

Sweep, clean and let the deck dry fully
Set and sand any raised fasteners
Mask railing posts and adjacent siding
Apply penetrating stain and sealer board by board
Back-brush edges and detail the railing

The job

Bare, graying boards on a covered deck with nothing protecting them from Colorado sun, blowing snow and spilled drinks. We cleaned the surface, let it dry completely, set proud fasteners, then stained board by board so each run finishes at a natural break and there are no lap marks across the floor.

The problem

Bare, graying deck boards on a covered porch with no protection against Colorado sun, snowmelt and spilled water.

Our recommendation

A penetrating stain and sealer applied board-by-board on a fully dry deck — the only reliable way to get even color and real absorption on weathered wood.

The result

An evenly sealed deck with warm, uniform color and protection that sheds water instead of soaking it up.
