Planning the work
Prepare agreed sound surfaces and apply a compatible stain system according to product requirements and practical weather conditions. Identify any additional items separately so the scope and preparation are understood by everyone arranging the work.
Unexpected conditions can alter the available options. Any additional work, different components or separate specialist requirement should be discussed before extending the agreed task, rather than treated as automatically included.
Allow the stain to cure as directed and maintain the deck using compatible products rather than layering an unknown finish. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
Clear the immediate working area where safe and explain heavy furniture or restricted entry. For rentals or managed properties, agree the appropriate permission and identify the person who can provide access.
