Order of repairs
I’m about to start a deck repair. About a fourth of the boards are in bad shape, and I’m hoping to simply replace those without doing a complete overhaul.
Is this the correct order:
- Remove all bad boards.
- Power wash remaining boards.
- Install new boards.
- Sand old stain off the old boards with belt sander, and lightly sand the new boards.
- Apply new stain.
Would you recommend doing things in a different order? Anything else I need to consider?
