ProfessionalDeck & Fence Staining

An unprotected wooden deck or fence weathers and grays fast. We power wash the surface to remove dirt and mildew, let it dry, and apply a penetrating stain that soaks into the wood grain to protect it from moisture and UV damage for years.

How it works

Wash and dry

We pressure wash the surface to strip dirt and organic growth and let it dry for at least a day or two before applying stain.

Sand and treat

We sand rough patches smooth and apply a wood brightener if the wood has grayed significantly to open the grain for better stain absorption.

Apply stain

We apply penetrating stain by brush or roller, working in the direction of the grain and keeping a wet edge to avoid lap marks.

We can help

Problems we fix

Blotchy absorption from power washing and staining the same day without allowing dry time

Deck & Fence Staining — FAQ

How often should a deck or fence be restained?

Penetrating stains typically last two to four years depending on sun and weather exposure. Decks in very sunny spots or humid climates may need attention on the lower end of that range.

Should I use a solid stain or a semi-transparent one?

Semi-transparent stains let the natural grain show and tend to peel less over time. Solid stains cover more color variation but behave more like paint and can peel from the surface.

Do you have to remove the old stain before applying new stain?

If the old stain is peeling or flaking, yes — it needs to come off for the new coat to bond well. If it's just faded, a fresh coat over a clean, dry surface is usually enough.
