DECK RESTORATION Using Deck and Dock Stain

What happens here

Walk across the entire deck surface to identify any loose or protruding deck boards. Using a drill with deck screws, drive the screws into the loose boards to secure them firmly to the underlying joists. This prevents any boards from sticking up or becoming dislodged, ensuring a smooth and safe foundation for the coating application. This step is an important part of maintaining the structural integrity of the deck and preparing it for a new finish.

Goal: Tighten any loose deck boards using deck screws to create a stable and safe surface before applying the coating.
