Deck & Fence Staining

Protect your outdoor wood from sun, rain, and everyday wear — with stains that penetrate deep and look great year-round.

Untreated wood outdoors has 2–3 years before it starts to gray, crack, and rot. The right stain, applied the right way, stops that cold. We clean, brighten, and sand your deck or fence, then apply a penetrating stain that bonds to the wood — not just sits on top. The result looks freshly finished and shrugs off weather for years.

What's Included

  • Deep cleaning and brightening
  • Light sanding
  • Board repair or replacement

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will the stain last?

Decks: 2–4 years on horizontal surfaces; longer on rails. Fences: 4–6 years.

Solid vs semi-transparent vs transparent?

Solid hides grain and lasts longest. Semi-transparent shows grain. Transparent is lowest maintenance but shortest life.

Do I need to stain pressure-treated wood?

Yes — pressure treatment resists rot, not UV. Stain extends its appearance and life.

When can I use my deck again?

24–48 hours for foot traffic; 72 hours before placing furniture.
