We will reply to your comment shortly· 07/21/2020Hi there! We haven’t done anything to our deck since we moved in 5 years ago. It’s a 2 level 450 sq feet deck(plus the vertical railing). We don’t know what it was stained or painted with or the type of wood that it is made out of. The pictures are showing the deck after I power washed it and cleaned it with Valspar all in one wood prep cleaner. What are my option to get it cleaned off all the way? Sanding? If I do send it all down what are the products that I need to apply afterwards and how much of it? Thanks

We will reply to your comment shortly· 06/26/2020Good morning, I've seen a lot of good reviews for you products and I am wondering if my deck is a good candidate for your Restore-A-Deck system. My deck is about 700 sq ft, is 20-25 years old and has not had anything done (no stain, protection, sanding, anything) in over 10 years. It is pretty rough and needs some help. It is very structurally sound, but the walking surface and railings are rough. Splinters are a real problem if you go bare foot on the deck.
My goal is to make it a bit smoother and look a bit better so I can get a few more years use out of it until I can replace all the deck boards and rails with a composite product. I don't expect to be able to go barefoot on it even after applying your system, but it should look better (I hope).
My plan is to pressure wash it, lightly sand with 60-80 grit sandpaper (heavy sanding in a few really rough areas), apply your Restore-A-Deck Stripper/Brightener system, and stain with your Dark Walnut stain.
Will your stripper remove most of the old stain (several pics attached)?
Do you think this is worth my time and money?
Your 5 gallon kits says coverage is 500-1000 sq ft? Is there anyway I can determine if this kit will be enough for my 700 sq ft deck? I'd hate to get halfway through staining and run out.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

We will reply to your comment shortly· 05/27/2020Hello, I am curious about this kit. I see that it only comes with a stripper and a brightener. Does the stripper eliminate the need for the cleaner? I am working on a brand new deck that I just recently stained. I stained with another brand semi-transparent gray and I hate it. It looks like dirty wood, not gray. I let my new deck (PTP) weather for 12 months and then I used Wolman's deck cleaner and brightener which both worked well. I stained it after drying for two days and the stain accepted well, but I am very unhappy with the color. So, I am assuming that using a stripper and brightener would be the best bet to get a fresh start. So, to sum this up, does the stripper eliminate the need for a cleaner? And, what is the best forward to restart on my deck that has only had stain for a week? Thanks for your time!

We will reply to your comment shortly· 05/27/2020I used defy semi-transparent stain. It was the highest-rated stain that I could find locally in a store. It's strange because in the picture looking towards the end of the deck, it does look like a dirty gray. When you're on the deck, it definitely does not have that much color. I followed their applications exactly and did a wet on wet application only doing about 5 boards at a time. I would like a true light gray color with some woodgrain coming through. On my computer, that's what your cottage gray looks like. If that is not possible, then I am probably just going to go with a natural color. I also attached their color chart. I suppose their color chart is somewhat accurate when looking at a certain angle, but the photos on their website didn't seem to be representative of the stain. The user photos all were a light gray that was bright.

We will reply to your comment shortly· 05/13/2020My deck is in pretty rough shape. We have not done anything to it in 5 years/since we moved in. I can tell it was years before that when/if anything was done to it. Can I use restore a deck?
From what I read, I would strip. I would brighten. I would stain. Do I need to sand? If so, when? -
We will reply to your comment shortly· 05/13/2020I would like to try your stripper, brightener and stain but am not planning on restaining the spindles. Do you think your cedar stain will match close enough to this product?

We will reply to your comment shortly· 04/24/2020I am looking for a stain to coordinate with a gazebo purchased from Costco, cedar with a "mocha" stain. Pic posted from their website. I need something without too much yellow/orange tones. I am concerned none match.

We will reply to your comment shortly· 05/06/2018What is the difference between RAD stain, TWP stain, and Armstrong Clark stain?
How do you recommend stain be stripped from spindles...brush, broom?-
We will reply to your comment shortly· 05/06/2018All 3 are penetrating semi-transparent stains. The RAD is different though as it is water based and can be stained the same day as the prep. As for removal of the stain on the railings, can you post a picture and do you know the brand?
-
We will reply to your comment shortly· 05/06/2018It may be Thompson's on the deck and railings, but I'm not completely certain. It didn't adhere well and it was a shoddy application done a few years ago.
