How often should I restain my deck?
The 1990s-2020s (heritage core from 1800s) homes in Richmond Hill make this question especially relevant. most Toronto decks need restaining every 2 to 3 years depending on sun exposure, foot traffic, and the type of stain used. Transparent stains need refreshing sooner than solid stains. We can assess your deck's current condition.
