These are pretty unique pictures I thought. Just different angles with different sun producing different colors and consequently different looks. Aaahhh..the beauty of transparents. The darker portions of the deck have already been stained and that stain has fully cured. The rails looked fine from last year and didn’t need new stain.(except the top piece of course!!) This is 100% redwood tone on approx. ten year old boards. This is about the fifth time I’ve stained this particular deck. Better than new……

Before the pressure washing occurs on any wood deck, it’s crucial to clear out the spaces between the boards.  Here’s a look at a 15 year old wood deck in the Scotts Valley area.  After the spaces have been cleaned, the pressure washing can begin.

I can’t stress enough how important this part of the deck maintenance process is.  Don’t expect this type of AAA service from just any pressure washing firm you happen to dial out of the yellow pages or the like.  It just doesn’t work like that.  This my friends is how the Pros do it!
