Always clean first, then stain or seal. Pressure washing (or a proper soft wash + scrubbing) removes the gray, mildew, and old finish so the new stain can actually penetrate and protect the wood.

Most decks in our area should be cleaned and re-stained or sealed every 2–3 years depending on sun exposure and traffic. We offer packages that include both the cleaning and the staining in one visit for best results and pricing.
