What is General cost per square foot to stain a deck?
The average is between 2.00 and 2.50 a square foot. This includes powerwashing, detergent, and stain. Also, this is for your basic spindles on the railing. David Depends on how professionally you want it done. My company PressurePros, inc specializes in deck restoration. We apply a cleaning agent that emulsifies old stain, kills mold and softens grayed wood to allow us to use very low pressure to wash. After the deck is completely washed we follow with a pH balancing neutralizing agent. That gives the stain better bond and gives you an even finish. We then sand all handrails before applying two coats of tinted oil based, VOC compliant sealer. Handrails will account for 6 s.f per linear foot of measurement. A 10x10 deck would be 100 s.f on the floor plus 210 s.f of rail. That does not include stairs or add-ons like trellises, planter boxes and benches. Our price is $1.60-$2.00 per s.f.
Can you stain a vinyl deck?
Yes, you could stain vinyl, but I wouldn't. Actually, you could stain nearly anything it just wouldn't always come out the way you hoped. Vinyl would not take a semi-transparent stain the same way wood does. There are no pores or grain patterns to absorb the stain. The results would be a little odd looking. Every nick, scratch, blemish or other imperfection would stand out 100 fold. Your best bet, if you just want to change the color of your deck, would be to apply a solid, non transparent exterior stain or a quality exterior paint. The trick in doing either of those is in the prep. Because the vinyl will oxidize over time it must be removed or sealed out completely before applying a finish. If you take your finger and rub it on an area that gets a lot of sun, you will see the oxidization on your finger. First thing to do is power wash the deck. After it dries you apply a coat of exterior primer/sealer and let that dry. Then you can apply the color of paint you desire and you shouldn't have any problems. Remember, if you want your new deck color to last don't take short cuts in the preparation. Good luck!

Can you use latex stain over polyurethane enforced oil based stain?
Yes, but only if the stain is a few years old and really dry. You have to wash the stain thoroughly to remove the chalked pigments and then prime it to seal the checks in the wood. One disadvantage of stain is that it will not keep the wood from checking as it dries. Either a latex of alkyd primer will work well. You can then paint it with your latex top coat.
