Our Deck Staining & Sealing Process

1
Cleaning & Stripping

The deck is cleaned with a wood brightener or deck stripper to remove old stain, gray oxidation, and biological growth.

2
Sanding & Prep

Rough boards are sanded smooth, popped nails are countersunk, and any split or cracked boards are replaced.

3
Stain Application

Premium penetrating stain or solid color stain is applied by brush and roller for even, thorough coverage in all the wood grain.

4
Sealing

A UV-resistant sealer is applied as a final coat to lock in the stain and provide maximum weather protection.

Our local pros understand the unique conditions of your city — climate, home types, and seasonal challenges.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I stain my deck?
Penetrating stains typically last 2–3 years; solid stains can last 4–5 years. Horizontal surfaces like decking wear faster than vertical fence boards.
Should I use a solid stain or transparent stain?
Transparent and semi-transparent stains showcase wood grain and work best on newer wood in good condition. Solid stains cover grain but provide maximum protection and color — better for older or weathered wood.
Can you stain a pressure-treated deck?
Yes, but new pressure-treated wood should dry for 6–12 months before staining. We'll check moisture levels to confirm the wood is ready.
How long before I can use my deck after staining?
Light foot traffic is usually safe in 24–48 hours. We recommend waiting 72 hours before moving furniture back and a full week before heavy use.
