Why should you hire a professional for deck staining?
We're glad you asked!
We hear all the time from people who attempted stain their own deck, only to wish they would have hired a professional to handle their deck staining needs. Not only is it a fairly intensive task, it also requires proper preparation.
Here are a few reasons you should work with Pro-Tech instead of trying to take on the task yourself!
Preparation
Preparation is key to the deck staining process. Before anything, your deck needs to be power-washed from any old stains and well cleaned.
For a clean surface, thorough power washing must be done before any stain is applied. Power washing will remove any loose stain, mold, algae and oxidation to return the wood back to its natural state. Along with cleaning, Pro-Tech Exterior Home Solutions will check for any wood rot your deck may be experiencing. We also offer wood rot repair and replacement services.

Cost
There is more to deck staining than merely painting your wood. Pro-Tech has the necessary equipment, like a power washer, paint brushes, drop cloths and the highest quality stains and staining material to ensure a long-lasting job.
Think about it, by the time you purchase and/or rent all the right equipment and application materials, you’re already spending a huge chunk of what it would be by hiring a professional. They you actually have to do the work, which will likely take you far longer that it would for the professional.
Time
Deck staining is an intensive process and should you choose to do it yourself, it would require quite a bit of time on your part. From research to prepping, to staining and clean up, deck staining demands a high level of knowledge and experience to carry out the project in the highest degree.
