Deck refinishing in Lexington, SC

On this deck in Lexington, SC, White Elephant Painting completed a full deck staining project to restore the surface and protect it for years to come. The homeowner wanted a clean, even finish and lasting protection, so our crew followed a straightforward three-step process to get the best results.

First, we washed the deck thoroughly. This step removes dirt, mildew, and loose particles that prevent the stain from adhering properly. A clean surface also makes sanding more effective and helps the final coat look uniform across all boards.

Next, we sanded the deck to smooth rough spots and remove any remaining old finish. Sanding opens the wood grain slightly and gives the stain a better surface to grip. It also evens out small imperfections so the stain lays down consistently and the finished color looks even across the entire deck.

After preparing the surface, we applied two coats of Sherwin Williams SuperDeck solid stain. The two-coat application ensures full coverage and a consistent, solid finish. Applying two coats also builds protection, which helps the deck resist weathering and wear over time.

Using Sherwin Williams SuperDeck solid stain gave the deck a durable, attractive finish. Because this is a solid stain, it provides strong color and good hiding of previous stains or minor wood variations. The homeowner chose a finish that revitalized the deck while helping to protect the wood from sun and moisture.

The combination of washing, sanding, and applying two coats produced a clean, beautiful result. The deck now has an even appearance and a durable finish that was applied with care. This approach helps the deck look better immediately and helps extend the time before future maintenance is needed.

White Elephant Painting completed the job in Lexington, SC with attention to the preparation steps that matter most for a long-lasting stain job. Homeowners in the area can expect the same straightforward process: thorough cleaning, careful sanding, and a complete two-coat application to achieve both appearance and protection.
