Staining a deck in Orleans

Orleans is where the Lower Cape meets the Outer Cape, with water on the bay, on Pleasant Bay, and on the ocean at Nauset Beach.

Decks close to the bay, Pleasant Bay, and the ocean lose their finish faster: sun grays the wood, and salt air rusts the fasteners. Before we stain a deck in Orleans, we clean it, replace damaged boards and fasteners, and check the framing underneath.

Many homes in East Orleans and South Orleans are second homes. Late spring, before the house opens, and early fall, after it closes, are good times to clean and stain the deck: the weather is mild and nobody is using it.
