Thinking about painting or staining that brand-new deck? Hold off before you break out the brushes!
New pressure-treated lumber needs time to dry out before it should be painted or stained. Applying a coating too soon can prevent proper absorption and adhesion, leading to peeling, flaking, and a finish that won't last.
Give that new wood time to dry, and you'll get much better results when it's time to protect and beautify your deck!
Don't let a rushed deck project turn into a Halloween nightmare! 🕸️
At Crawshaw Decorating, we believe in doing the job right the first time!
