Some decks require sealing/ staining every 4 to 5 years. Some decks with full exposure to the sun may need to be resealed/ re-stained every 18 months. How long do I have to wait after power washing my deck to be able to stain/ seal it? Around 48 hours of dry weather is needed for the deck to properly dry out correctly. The last time I had my deck done, they sprayed sealer all over my vinyl siding and sliding door.
3. Let the deck dry for at least 72 hours before applying stain. At this point, check the wood of the deck to see if you want to apply a new coat of stain directly on top of the old stain for color touch-up, or if it is excessively blotchy and you need to sand it down to put on a new coat of sealer.
