Is this The Kind of Contractor You Want Working on YOUR HOUSE?

What happens here

Apply Sherwin Williams SuperDeck 9600 series solid stain in 'Fawn' color to the deck's railings, balusters, and support structures. Use an airless sprayer for efficient and even coverage. The technique of 'cutting in' (spraying the detailed edges and vertical pieces first) is crucial to ensure thorough coverage before tackling the larger, flat deck surface. The stain transforms the appearance of the old wood almost instantly.

Goal: Apply solid stain to all vertical and intricate deck components.

Tools and materials

  • Airless Sprayer Graco/Titan — Applying stain quickly and evenly to the railings and balusters
