As someone watching this to learn how to power wash for the first time, I'm actually really appreciative that you left in the part where you were careless with the pressure/direction. I hear lots of people *mention* the start/stop lines, going against the wood grain, etc. but to actually see it gives me a great impression of what to avoid. Thanks so much for keeping the footage!
I took a big surface sander to my deck (one on wheels you can use while standing behind. Can rent from Home Depot). This smooths the surface (no mor splinters), levels it a bit, and gets rid of the dirt you miss with the pressure washer. Works wonderfully
I think this is the best idea.
Love it when a guy can say, this is something that I would do differently next time. (Power washer strokes) Great result! You have a fan in me.
The stain sprayer impressed me, I have been dreading this as my painful disease does not allow me to stand very long. I cannot wait to buy one as we have paint projects inside too.
This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
Just the result of the power washer alone is satisfying
I have that same shade on my patio. I love it and it really adds to the look of your deck. You did a great job turning that into a beautiful hang out spot.
This is awesome, especially since I work for Lowe's as well. I was looking for a video on how to clean and stain my deck and you showed me perfectly.
Nice job, I just finished my deck, it had been stain before about 12 years ago in bad shape, so I cleaned it with 30-seconds cleaner and pressured washed the dark spots let it dry for 1 week then hand brushed it with a paintbrush ( I see the sprayer would have been better), it took about 3 days to fully dry. The results are amazing looks like a new deck and I am in my late 60's and a woman!!!! I also cleaned the house with 30-second cleaner it had that green algae on it and the gutters, I have a pump sprayer and on full force sprayed the gutters with it and the house. By the time I got the hose to rinse it all off it was clean no brushing no scrubbing, unbelievable looks like a new house.
Which 30-Second cleaner did you use?
I just used 30 second cleaner on the sides of my house. I'm now painting my doors and trim, then I'm going to use the 30 second cleaner on my deck. After that I'm going to stain it.
I do not like to use power washer on deck, I find that what the power washer is doing in this case is actually peeling a layer of wood when wand is held this close to surface. Then when deck dries the wood is all frayed/ fuzzy and than needs to be sanded before one can apply a sealer or stain. I use a bucket of hot water with dawn dish soap and a brush, rinsing with garden hose as I go along. I even tried a old floor polisher to scrub deck with great cleaning results but it to frayed the pressure treated deck boards. So the brush on a long handle is what I found to work the best. And I do my deck at least every second year, scrub let dry a few days then apply Thompson wood sealer.
This is the most easy way I have ever watched recently. I used to frustrated about doing that . Thank you for your sharing
With stains, oils, and oil based paints wood that has been outside for more than a few months will just soak up the coating. Any wood you should wet slightly and then let dry to the touch before applying an oil based product. It opens up the pores of the wood and will allow deeper penetration and protection by the coating. You can also do a light sanding right after you wet the wood to take the raised grain down so that it won't be raised after you apply the coating.
How long to wait after a wash before re-stain with oil based semi transparent stains please?
@@icedteamama176 Until it feels dry to the touch. It varies by the wood, the humidity, and how much you wet it down. The wetting can also raise the grain up, so you might have to sand the surface down before moving on to the coating or staining.
The volume, explanation were clear and comparison were great
I'm with you on the spraying. The Wagner sprayer was a game changer for me and I won't use a brush or roller again either, except in rare cases for those areas where I can't spray near the house. I cringed when I saw you using the 15* tip though.
I power washed 800 square foot of deck ,plus railings and posts,what a difference,,,to also used rusticana,,,love the color
This is so helpful for when me and my friend are doing our decking in the spring. Not sure what good it will do as the landlord really needs to probably replace it 😂 but it will spruce it up
Great video, it looks amazing after what you did, I would only change the wood stain to keep more natural wood colour
Wow you made a really solid pitch for a power sprayer. That was quite the transformation, I can see that deck getting a lot of use now. Cheers.
I finished this project a couple weeks ago and have been enjoying the heck out of it
I went out to Lowe's amd bought the dame sprayer last night based on your words. I used it today to prime and paint 6 shelves that I build for our cats. It worked amazingly, and was so fast and easy! This is the first time I've made a purchase based on 1 recommendation like that, but so far I agree, it is far worth the money! Thanks!
Yea man, I love it too!
Hi Chris, great job. Have you use the power washer to remove paint stain. I have deck that need work . what's ur help on this.
Nice overall deck refresh and thanks for the explaining the processes.
It’s really amazing job, I’m planning to paint my deck but I don’t know how to do it.
After washing this video I’m sure that I can did a good job
You're impressed? I'M SUPER IMPRESSED!!! That looks good as new.
Exactly what we started doing today. Great video
I do deck repair, wash and stain in the GTA. I drive every nail on an old deck when replacing bad ones. I use a the fat end of a Japanese nail set. It is much faster than you might think and reseating the nails noticeably stiffens the structure.
Getting products for this now
Can’t wait to see how it turns out
It’s actually satisfying to watch him paint the deck
Thank you very much! Literally at this very moment, someone else is in my backyard doing the powerwashing of my fence but I will be doing the staining. This video was enlightening and encouraging! Thank you.
I'm in this exact situation right now, trying to figure out the staining now!
I work for Stanley Steemer. I spend a lot of time in the summers cleaning decks all over Michigan. If anyone ever needs a good even cleaning, definitely consider giving your local company a call and at least have them come look at it for free. Our process is fairly similar, but much quicker, and avoids all of the stop/start marks
15 degree (yellow) or a "turbo nozzle" if included does a lot better job than the 40 degree (white) as the loss of psi is substantial. Glad to see you figured that out for yourself before you got too far. That deck came so clean, very nice.
Very nice job, great video.
I bought that same sprayer today to do my deck. I am using Thomson's Advanced Sealer, this is 3rd time I am using it but first time spraying it with sprayer instead of brush. I used my foam cannon to cover the deck in foam, used liquid soap, a d then powerwashed it, did that today, hope to paint tomorrow if dry. I noticed some of the stain from last application is holding strong in some spots so I didn't piwerwash to bare wood. Hope it will work well.
Beautiful GWP. They are great gun dogs.
I used Olympic deck cleaner, let it sit, then power washed. The results were beautiful! In some parts I have only power washed. But it is gorgeous. Now it’s staining time!
I use the same product, instead of using spray tips I use my ball valve only. 0 cuts marks using the ball valce
Did you have to wait 120 to stain
Great job! There is a "turbo tip" available for pressure washers. It spins and is quite aggressive but it absolutely will clean anything like nothing other.
My dad just bought the same power washer ( for cleaning wedding chairs and trailers) and I can’t recommend it enough!
Craftsman power washers suck... Worst thing they make tbh. Their pumps go out way too soon! Ryobi Honda from homedepot are WAY better and last way longer!
Looks great, nice footwork too 👍
Thanks for this great video. You really helped me out with my deck.
You did a great job! This is the first video in a long time I didn't skip through and actually watched until the end. Good editing and clear speech.
I know this isn't ur kind of project but watching this helped me
Loving my blue Estwing hammer too!!
Thanks, great job! The result looks satisfying af
Good result. Impressive.
I truly don't understand why people are so miserable that they can see an AMAZING job like this with PHENOMENAL results and hit the dislike button. You deserve everything coming to you in life.
Many reasons I can point out of how this was done incorrectly.
You did such a great job on this deck transformation. Awesome work with your FLEXiO 4000 sprayer!
Looks like power wash is best a lot safer for environment. Excellent job 👍.
Great efforts, i recommend to put a pic before and after.
Good luck pro 🤝
Looks great! I'll be starting on mine this weekend.
Just my two cents back brush the stain if using a sprayer to work the stain into the wood. I use a deck brush on a pole and works the stain in real well and probably uses less stain. Then do a second coat before within the time frame of what it says on the can.
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks. I may have to use some of them!
Great informative video thanks & I love seeing your beautiful doggy! 🐕
PS: the furniture looks really awesome including the carpet piece! Great ideas, thanks!
PPS: I love shopping at Lowe’s!
They give me a 10% veterans discount & I’m so glad they purchased the Craftsman line from Sears too!
Caught yourself on your power washing technique, before the comments did. Good for you
that came up fantastic
Recently picked up an oscillating attachment for my power washer. There are no streaks and the stain comes off twice as fast. Can't recommend enough!
Thanks for the recommendation!
Great job mate. And thanks for the tips.
Nice video man. I like when he says he went to Lowes and picked up some stuff. You mean Lowes and a Valspar hooked you up with free stuff for making the video. 😂
Wow that came out so nice and seen some of the wall prep that you did with a plastic covers actually helps a lot. I was just going to use tape, Thanks again!
Thanks for the video, very informative.
i left marks on mine but i used solid cedar stain and it turned out great
I’m power washing first to get the stuff off, then following up with stripper for stubborn spots. Let’s hope for the best
Great job! 👍🏽
Hitting my deck tomorrow!
Great result! Thanks for sharing the experience. I agree, a lighter color would have been ideal but the finished product still looks nice and makes the deck look like new.
The part about starting and stopping ~4:30 made me laugh. I did my own deck for the first time maybe five years ago. A friend who does it for a painting company came over and was checking out my work. He saw my amateurish stop-and-start lines and said that where he works, that was a "dismissable offense." 🤣
This is a great video and exactly what I needed. Thanks!
Okympic is good stuff too. Great video. With olympic you dont even need to scrub unless you have actual dirt or something
Nice job. Looks great.
That looks amazing.
The guy who sold our house used house paint to paint our deck. I can't wait to strip it and get it looking nice this spring
Great job! Now it's time to find a wooden picket fence that has never been treated and show us how to refresh it with stain.
We have one that is three feet high, 3 1/2 inch pickets spaced 3 inches. It's only 3 years old. Not mossy or anything, but weathered to a nice grey.
Thanks in advance for any help!!
Sam,
Sounds good. All but the antique part. Our fence looks fine to us, weathered naturally. But HOA says it looks like it belongs in ghost town. Don't know how they'd react to "antique". Scudders. But I thank you just the same!
@@williamlenoch1526 use professional grade "Restore A Deck" cleaner & brightener kit.
You mix each pack in warm water a 5 gallon bucket and use a garden sprayer to apply the cleaner let it set 10-15 minutes hose It Off come back immediately and then spray the brightener on which restores the woods pH balance from the cleaner and it will look like you just built the fence and it's ready to receive and hold stain.
It's a powder product that looks like laundry detergent sodium percarbonate.
It foams when it activates and starts cleaning once it's sprayed on the fence or deck.
Love it and I like the color too!
Awesome project congrats
Respect for doing it right 👍. Real men do quality work
Thanks bud!
Gotta say, I was definitely surprised by the cleaner. I have used a narrow tip on my pressure washer and gotten extremely good results with no chemicals at all. On a particularly mouldy deck I used Sunlight Liquid Dish soap and got even better results. I appreciate your UA-cams! Much Appreciated.
Nice job and great tips!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. How did the chemicals effect the grass.
excellent, great job
Beautiful work good job
I love your dog ❣️
Great Video! Question - the boards you replaced, did you wait to let them dry (from the chemicals, not the pressure wash) or did you stain right away? If so, how did the boards take to the stain? Thanks,
Early and nice video! This will help my dad alot thank you
That turned out so nice.
I can see why you like the power washer. It looks like it makes things much easier.
Dude! THANKS! BIG HELP.
Great video ! Can you post a quick update on how the Valspar stain & sealer looks now (2 years later) ?
Nice man looks good
looks great. we about to tackle our deck but its newly built....get a grill mat for your grill..thank you
slc crayzis thanks for the grill mat idea
Looks amazing dude!
Looks great!
I have just spent the last 2 days power washing my deck.
I have used cleaners before power washing and cleaners after.
I have concluded that if your deck is as bad as his old section, that cleaners by themselves aren't strong enough to get 100% of the mold growth off.
I tried lightly power washing an area, then using a cleaner, scrubbing the cleaner in with a heavy scrub brush. After the soaking period was done, I again power washed it. This method got 90% of the growth gone.
I also heavily power washed it [how he used the 10-degree nozzle] and that got about 95% of the growth off. I could have even used a stronger pressure to eliminate more growth, but that would have sacrificed the wood surface.
In my case, I found that that heavy power washing before using a cleaner, and again a normal power washing to remove the cleaner worked best. Around 99% of the growth was eliminated.
Thanks for the video!
Thanks for this great tutorial! We have the same grill at our house and it's amazing!
Hi Chris, just wondering if you (or anyone else) has had experience using the Valspar deck cleaner (via pump sprayer) and then rinsing/washing it off with a power washer (as opposed to a hose)? Trying to figure if I should go this route or use Krud Kutter in my power washer like you did.
Wow!! Thanks for sharing.👍
We have to power wash every 3 months. We live in sunny Florida. Where it rains have the time.
Not sure but can you add mineral spirits to the first stain coat? It would soak in without using up so much stain. I think you can go 25% on the mineral spirits.
looks amazing, could you do a video updating the metal railing to a wood railing?
musiq002003 Metal....no staining. Thinking of getting rid of my wood!!
Great work man. Love your projects. Hey, any word on those prints you made?
OMG your grass!!!!!! Thanks for the video!
DECKorations. Nice
Awesome video!! Thanks!
Thank you for the video. You have some great tips. Your sedated partner in crime Fido was a bonus!
Great vid. Nice work!
Great video. Do you have any details on the pergola at the end of the video?
Great job, your deck looks awesome.
