Deck Staining in Waltham, MA
Penetrating stain soaks into the grain and fades instead of peeling. Solid film finishes peel and then need stripping.
What this looks like in Waltham
Decks, porches and exterior stairs in Waltham take the full freeze-thaw cycle. The hill neighbourhoods sit on real slope. Ladder footing on a graded lot changes staging and adds time. Structure gets checked before any finish goes down.
Our process
Penetrating stain soaks into the grain and fades instead of peeling. Solid film finishes peel and then need stripping.
Penetrating semi-transparent or semi-solid stain, not a film-forming finish. Penetrating stain fades and recoats cleanly; film finishes peel and then need stripping before you can do anything at all.
Where these jobs go wrong
Solid stain on a horizontal deck surface. It looks great for two years and then peels in sheets, and stripping a peeling deck costs more than the original job.
