Deck Staining in Orchard Lake Village, MI

At Legends Painting LLC, we take a careful approach to Deck Staining, starting with preparing the wood. We use commercial-grade deck wash specifically formulated to remove embedded dirt, algae, and old, loose stain without harming the underlying wood fibers. Sometimes, a light sanding with a floor sander or orbital sander using appropriate grit paper is necessary to smooth rough areas and open up the wood for better stain absorption. This preparation is key for a uniform, long-lasting result.

For applying Deck Staining products, we use professional sprayers for large areas and brushes or pads for railings and detail work. We prefer penetrating oil-based stains when appropriate for deep wood protection in MI’s climate or high-quality water-based acrylics offering strong UV resistance and a wider color palette. The choice depends on the wood type and desired outcome, always aiming for an even application that highlights the wood’s texture or provides solid coverage as requested. Serving Oakland County, Legends Painting LLC focuses on treatments that perform well locally.
