Deck Staining Questions — Whitmore Lake, MI
How often should a deck be stained?
In Michigan, most decks need re-staining every 2–3 years. Decks with heavy sun exposure or no overhead cover may need annual maintenance.
Can you stain a new deck?
New pressure-treated lumber needs 3–6 months of weathering before staining. New cedar or redwood can be stained immediately after installation.
What's better: solid stain or semi-transparent?
Semi-transparent stains show wood grain and are easier to maintain. Solid stains hide imperfections and last longer but require more prep for recoating.
