Looks great. I read that I need to use wood brightener after I strip the wood. I noticed that you didn't. Any idea on when it is necessary or unnecessary to do so?
Looks nice! Although a key step you missed (it seems) is penetrating stain now matter how applied has to be back brushed for a better uniform finish. Just CC.
Great video thanks! What nozzle did you use when rinsing off the cleaner? I think my cedar is bit older and concerned about tearing up the wood with the pressure washer.
I used the "turbo" nozzle, the most powerful one, but places that might get damaged I would just move the nozzle away and some that were tougher to clean I would put it closer, as needed.
Looks great! Considering trying to do something like this soon. Was your home originally stained when you bought it? I ask b/c ours has a stain that’s fading and I’m wondering if that cleaner you used will take it off.
Sorry I just now seen your comment/question. Did you give it a try already? I don't know for sure if ours was stained before, but I assume it was and it had mostly just been work off. I don't think anything had been done to it since it was built around 1985 or 1986. I think the cleaner along with the pressure washer would likely take it off.
@@TheHooliganOutdoors Thanks for replying. We haven’t gotten around to it yet, but planning to next spring hopefully. Hope the cleaner and power washing works. Thanks for the video and reply!
House looks amazing, im about to stain mine also. Kinda in the same situation do I pay a crazy amount or do it myself. Looks like I’ll be doing it myself, great video.
If you had to take a guess how many hours did you have into this project? How many square feet? Thanks for the great video, planning to do this to my parents home.
I have been doing some researh on this, becasue I have a friend who wants me to do his house. I have seen guys talk about backrolling the stain on after a spray. What is your take on that? Did you consider backrolling? What was are your sources before taking on project? Thanks for posting this regardless.
I don't think I had any sources before I started, I just kind of went at it lol. I didn't know anything about backrolling when I took on this project, but I would assume it would help the stain to soak in more probably. It's been about 3.5 years since I sprayed mine and it still looks good.
Looks amazing!! Do you know what it was treated with originally? I am in the same situation with my house having been treated with Sikkens in 1988 when it was first built.
No I'm not sure what was used originally, but whatever it was, I think it had mostly worn off. This house was built around 1985 and I'm not sure it was ever re-stained or sealed.
Beautiful! Also it looks like you only did a single layer of stain. Is this true? I’m planning to do a similar job on my house as well and want to plan how much stain I will be needed. Also how long did the house and garage take?
Thanks! Yea I only did one coat and after one year it still looks great. It probably took about 3 days, but I can't remember exactly. There were times I had to wait due to rain or wind.
Well done! Your house looks beautiful. My husband and I are going to restain our house and this is so helpful! It looks like you covered some of your windows when staining. What did you use? Also - how close did you get to the house when pressure washing?
Thanks I appreciate it! I think I just used some cardboard to cover windows. Or it was a roll of paper you can get at lowes pretty cheap, I think it's actually to put on the floor. I'd say I was about a foot away maybe, just depending on how good or bad it was cleaning. Maybe sometimes closer if needed, but you can tell when you start spraying how close or far you need to be.
Nope, just sprayed it with soap, let it sit 5 or 10 minutes, power washed it off, let it dry, then sprayed the stain. I think I might spray it with some thompsons water seal or something like that sometime soon though just to make it last even longer.
Thanks for sharing the video. I have a 40 year old house with cedar siding that needs to be stained. Watching your instructional video is step one.
Awesome man, it takes a little time, but it's definitely worth it in the end!
Before restaining my cedar house, I decided to check out TH-cam, and I'm glad I did. Thanks for sharing!
No problem, hope it helps!👍
It turned out great! Love the time lapse video.
Thank you, I appreciate that! 👍
Looks great. I read that I need to use wood brightener after I strip the wood. I noticed that you didn't. Any idea on when it is necessary or unnecessary to do so?
That's an awesome transformation dude! In the process of cleaning my cedar up and it's amazing the transformation already.
Thanks man, I appreciate that!

How do you back brush?
WOW, amazing transformation!! Your house looks beautiful!
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Stunning transformation! Great job!!!
Thank you! 👍

I'm in Alaska I'm going to have to do this also but answer me this why didn't you lacquer the home after you stained it ?
Great job. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Looks awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! It was a good amount of work, but definitely worth it.
What did you use to patch holes and cracks prior to applying stain?
House looks amazing, im about to stain mine also. Kinda in the same situation do I pay a crazy amount or do it myself. Looks like I’ll be doing it myself, great video.
Thanks man, I appreciate it! Just takes a little time and effort, but can save you a lot of money as well. 👍

Looks great, im doing my house this summer as well
Awesome, good luck!
Super nice job…
Just got quote for my house for 17000. It cost 7500 in 2018…

Yep, I believe this house was built around 85 or 86 and I'm pretty sure it's the original cedar siding.

@@TheHooliganOutdoors thank you! I’ll be starting my project Friday so I hope it comes out as good as yours!
@@TheHooliganOutdoors finally finished my house. It came out awesome!! Thank you again for the video definitely gave me confidence in the project!
That's awesome man! Glad it helped!
You did a excellent job

Just wanted to thank you again for this video. My husband followed your suggestions and our siding came out great!!
Awesome job 👏
Thanks!🙂👍
Hi. Did you apply any other thing beside the stain? Like wood conditioner , sealant etc. Thank you
Nope, just sprayed it with soap, let it sit 5 or 10 minutes, power washed it off, let it dry, then sprayed the stain. I think I might spray it with some thompsons water seal or something like that sometime soon though just to make it last even longer.
@@TheHooliganOutdoors thank you very much. It looks 👍
@@TheHooliganOutdoors thank you mate
How many sqft?
feels like you just did this. guess it's been a few years.
Yea I did it about 6 or 7 months ago and it just now got flagged for copyright, so I changed the music and re-uploaded it 🤦♂️
@@TheHooliganOutdoors Damn copyright nazis! This is great man exactly what I was looking for.
lol thanks man! 😆👍
Son! How about wearing a mask next time you spray or power wash? 😊
That probably would have been the smart thing to do. Unfortunately I r not that smart! lol
