I recently purchased a home that has deck that looks like was painted. I say that because it is not a clear stain - I cannot see the fibers of the wood. What is the best/easiest/most efficient way to strip this paint and stain the deck?

you might try a paint stripper that is water base so no fumes
or sand and scrapped :wall:

I would apply paint stripper, let it work and then spray with pressure washer.
Can make alot of mess to clean up though.

Go to Lowe's and buy the Flood Stain Stripper. I used it and it works great.
