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.
