    Ok, this video is BULLSHIT from the title. Not the get go. The title. Never sand again...?? What. Is it going to be in a temp and humidity control indoor space? No? Then expect to be looking sanding a Deck every 5 years or so, sun does a ton of damage. Period. Sanding floors is my career, and Home Depot finish wont last that first full year either. Contact your local flooring professional for advice. Not KZread. Flooring is different all over the country due to climate differences. This video will never explain that. This video tips might work well in California, would suck in Colorado. Much drier. Hotter, then its gets COLD AND WET. Recks havoc on wood. Especially decks!

    I had my boathouse built back in the fall of '21. The wood has already started looking not so new by the spring of '22 so I decided to act quickly because I didn't want it turning gray like so many others had on the lake. I opted for the clear Thompson's proofer/sealer and what a fantastic finish and look. After watching this video it was good to learn that I can pressure wash and reapply over the current finish yearly. BTW; I tried applying it with a pump up garden sprayer but didn't like the way it was going on after the first gallon of application. Seemed like more of the product was dripping into the lake than absorbing into the wood. I applied the next 7 gallons with a paint roller and it was a much better process with just a little more work involved.... Thanks for the great videos!

    I have a 23 year old pine deck. I live in South Florida. The deck is still in decent shape, with only one rotted board, and a couple of small patches of rot I have fixed. There are a couple of others that will probably go in the next 5 years. Its sits on a roof and the framing is also still mostly solid. I try to seal it every two years. My neighbors never seal their decks and they all rotted out long ago. This is my advice. Only very lightly pressure wash your deck, and be careful. If you use high pressure too close to the deck it breaks up the fibers in the wood and damages the deck. No matter what the product you use says about how long it will last cut that down by at least a third. Use a better more expensive sealer. I use Bear from home depot, the higher end sealer and stain. Its water based, which I like better than oil based products, but it may not last as long. Its states its good for at least 3 years, but it does not, every two years I redo the deck with the sealer and I don't strip the old sealer at all, and have had no problems because I did not strip it. At two years the sealer is mostly gone in Florida due to the amount of rain and moisture. Never miss a sealing. I made the mistake of not sealing the deck for 3 years just one time and I found the deck had started to rot in several places. I was lucky because I fixed the small areas of rot easily, but one board was too far gone. Dont skimp on the amount of sealer you use, put it on so you know it covers everything. Double up on knots or depressions because that's where water will pool. Try to seal the sides of the boards to is you can it helps alot. Try not to have shade over a open deck, like shade from trees. This is different than having a covered deck with shade. With open decks you need the sun to dry out the deck after it rains or in the morning when there is a lot of moisture. Shade will keep you deck from drying, especially in hot humid climates and this will cause mold and rot to set in very quickly.

    HI Jeff (and crew), Just wanted to say I've really enjoyed all of your videos and instructions. They are easy to understand and best of yet, they show the entire process, from end to end. Just great instructional videos. Just closed on a house on the end of may, and your video have been so helpful. I'm curious, are there any plans to do a video on tuckpointing? I've got a 70+ y/o home, and some brick that needs it - would love to see your take and technique on it. Regardless, keep up the fantastic work. Cheers

    Hi and thank you so much for sharing you knowledge and expertise! Thanks to you I feel confident that I can restore my deck. Question though, what PSI do you recommend to be used when power washing the deck? I’m About to purchase a 3100psi generac gas pressure washer but not sure if that the right one? Also the pressure washer has a reservoir tank for detergent, should I use a special soap for these deck? The deck is about 20 years old but was well taken care of until about 4 or 5 years ago with not sealing. The wood is all grey and I don’t want to destroy it with the wrong pressure washer.. Thank you so much! Oh and is there a difference btwn a power washer and a pressure washer? Sry, my wife and I just purchased this house 2 weeks ago and are just learning about all of these things :/. Stay well and thanks again.

    This can looks awfully familiar. I think I bought it at a big box store 20 years ago for my new fence and it was great. Glad Jeff finally found it. But I didn't know the pressure washer was good for wood. I once washed an old railing with it and it became all "hairy". I guess I need to try again...

    Thank you for the video! It inspired me that maybe I can maintain my deck after sanding! I'm almost finished sanding. I will have put in about 28 hours at least.' I've seen people say redwood will gray in a few months using only a clear sealer. Will the Olympic Maximum Clear be ok for N. Montana on Redwood? I don't mind reapplying every year after power washing as long as I don't have to sand again. I so need to do the right thing I can't sand this deck again! I already bought the product. Please comment.

    Hi Jeff…well it’s been 3 years since you and your son have completed this deck. How has it held up and would you still recommend the Olympic Maximum? We have cold winters here in North Bay with a lot of snow. Our deck takes a lot of abuse with shoveling in the winter, crazy dirt from our maple trees…. I’ve pressure washed it once but it does tear the crap out of the wood. We have yet to find any product that holds up. Your advise would be greatly appreciated

    Recently found this video and did some research on the Thompson's Waterseal. The reviews were not favorable, but I have been watching your videos for a year now and trust what you say. So I pressure washed my deck, did some sanding where needed, and then applied the Thompsons Waterseal. Boy were the naysayers wrong, what a great product, it did not rain for a few days after the application but when it did the water beaded on top of the decking, wonderful. I do not mind that I might have to reapply later in the year, simple job, but well worth it in my opinion. Thanks for the advice Jeff and keep doing these wonderful videos.

    What is the best way to protect lattice on a deck, especially in high wind area. With no planning I put the Cut-N-Seal on my lattice because sealing the end cut job got messy so I applied to the whole lattice and deck walls with Cut-N-Seal. Is that going to dry and crack the lattice? Thank you.

    As a painter, clears are a great option for weatherproofing the deck, but the reason semi transparent or semi solids solids etc have more popularity is the slight pigment provides better UV protection. With that said most stains are a stain and sealer in one as well. More prep work like sanding or using chemicals such as a stain and sealer remover and wood brightener generally use chemicals or abrasion to open the wood grain, which ensures the wood will be more accepting of that stain. For a quick and easy approach, sure, but you can get more than 1 year of out a deck that’s been properly prepped, cleaned and stained vs an annual quick fix like pressure washing. It’s all contingent on the amount of sunlight and harsh winters you experience in seasonal states for your decking. Often times, for jobs I am hired for, the stain and or sealer was applied unevenly or incorrectly and the deck was either soft washed or pressure washed only by either a DIYer or handyman, and because of this the stain starts failing in areas quicker

    Hey Jeff, I just installed a new deck at my place this week, should I do the stain/sealer before fall?? or wait till the spring as the wood is brand new and moisture content seems to be high, I just figure the sealer won’t absorb right in areas where the brown treated is still soaked in the wood if that makes sense.

    Question: Do you have to use the Thomson water sealer before you can use the Olympic Water Proofing Sealant? Can you apply the Olympic Maximum Clear Sealant (oil base) right over the prepped wood deck? I have an older deck that’s been either painted or stain sealed, and it’s peeling in many areas and is in awful condition.

We are unable to pressure wash as there is nowhere for the water to drain to so pressure washing every year isn't an option; just sanding. I did strip it down to clean wood.
