Complete Your Deck Stain System
The best results don’t come from the stain alone; they come from using the right products in the right order. Every deck job I do follows the same basic system: clean or strip the wood, brighten it to restore the natural color, then apply a quality stain with the proper tools.
Deck cleaner – Remove dirt, gray wood, mold, and mildew so the stain can soak in properly.
Deck Stain Strippers – Take off failed or peeling coatings when a cleaner alone isn’t enough.
Wood Brighteners – Neutralize the cleaner or stripper, open the grain, and bring the wood back to life.
Stain Application Tools – Brushes, pads, and sprayers that help you get an even coat without fighting the job.
Then choose the stain type that fits your deck:
Semi-Transparent Deck Stains color and UV protection.
Semi-Solid Deck Stains – Richer color and more hiding power for older or weathered decks.
Solid Color Deck Stains – Maximum coverage when you need to hide repairs, patch boards, or heavy sun damage.
Ipe & Exotic Hardwood Stains – Penetrating formulas made for dense woods like Ipe, Mahogany, and Cumaru.
Add everything you need to your cart before you check out so your complete deck restoration system ships together, and you’re ready to roll the moment your products arrive.
