Deck & Patio in Granite Hills, CA.

How does Granite Hills's climate affect this service?
Granite-country grit finds its way into every concrete pore. East County decks see hard UV and occasional wildfire ash settle into the grain.
Can I stain the deck the same day?
No — wood needs to hit below about 15% moisture content before stain will bond. That usually means 48 to 72 hours of dry weather after a cleaning. Stain on a wet deck will peel within a year. We'll tell you the moisture reading before you schedule the stainer.
Will pressure washing splinter my deck?
Only if someone misuses the wand. We use 25 or 40-degree tips held back from the surface and rely on the cleaner chemistry to do most of the work. If your deck is already rough, we can run a light sand pass after drying to smooth it out before you stain — or recommend a deck refinisher for bigger jobs.
