Deck Stain Stripping

What This Service Involves

Old deck stain in the Northwest peels and flakes as trapped moisture works underneath the coating. We apply a stripper that breaks the bond of the failing finish so it lifts cleanly from the grain. After stripping, we neutralize and brighten the bare wood so the surface is ready to accept a fresh, even coat. Removing the old finish fully is the only way a new stain will hold up against Washington's weather rather than peeling again.
