Highlight the Natural Beauty

Deck Staining

Your deck plays an important role in your outdoor space. It gives you a unique place to host guests, cook delicious meals on the grill, and enjoy a quiet evening taking in the majestic views.

If youโ€™re lucky enough to have a wooden deck, we can help you preserve it with our professional deck staining expertise and ensure it remains in good condition for years to come.

Maximum Coverage and Protection

Fence Staining

A wooden fence is not only a crucial part of your homeโ€™s safety and security, but it can also enhance your homeโ€™s exterior aesthetic and complement your landscaping.

Wind, snow, rain, sun, and dirt all contribute to wear and tear over time, and without the proper maintenance, your wooden fence can easily become dull and damaged. Our fence staining services are an excellent way to brighten up your outdoor space and extend your wooden fenceโ€™s lifespan.

Balance Between Beauty and Protection

Siding Staining

Wooden siding can add a touch of elegance to any home, but it requires periodic maintenance to keep it in good condition. Staining and sealing the wood protects your home from damage, improves its appearance, and ensures its longevity.

Our Professional Painting FAQs

Staining applies penetrating protection that enhances wood grain while shielding against moisture, UV damage, and mildew. Unlike paint that sits on the surface, quality stain penetrates wood fibers to provide protection from within. We use Sherwin-Williams stain products that are formulated for our climate’s temperature swings and humidity levels. Our process includes cleaning, necessary repairs, and proper application techniques developed over 30,000+ completed projects.

Unstained wood deteriorates rapidly in our climate, and moisture penetration leads to rot, warping, and splitting within 2-3 years of exposure. Staining extends wood life by 10-15 years when maintained properly, preventing expensive replacement costs. UV protection prevents the gray weathering that makes wood look neglected. Our crews have applied approximately 300,000 gallons across all project types and consistently see that proper staining is far more cost-effective than premature replacement.

Most horizontal surfaces (deck floors, railings) require re-staining every 2-3 years, while vertical surfaces (fences) typically last 3-5 years between applications. Exposure level matters; southern-facing surfaces degrade faster from UV exposure. We use Sherwin-Williams stain products that include UV inhibitors and mildew resistance, which extends lifespan compared to budget products. After 25 years of combined experience, we can assess your specific wood condition during the estimate and recommend an appropriate maintenance schedule.

Quality stain requires 24-48 hours before light foot traffic and 72 hours for full cure. Rushing this process causes tracking, uneven appearance, and premature wear. Weather significantly impacts drying time; we won’t apply stain if rain is forecast within 48 hours or if humidity exceeds 85%. Our experienced crews know that proper application and curing time determine how long the stain performs, which is why we schedule projects conservatively rather than rushing between jobs.

Stain outperforms paint for horizontal wood surfaces because it penetrates rather than forming a surface film that traps moisture and peels. For decks specifically, stain allows wood to breathe while providing protection, and paint creates a moisture trap that leads to rot. Fences can be painted successfully if you prefer solid color coverage, but expect a 5-7 year maintenance cycle versus 3-5 years for stain. After 30,000+ projects, we’ve learned that matching the product to the application prevents premature failures.

Satisfaction guaranteed!

Our Staining Process

With every staining project, we ensure thorough preparation, careful stain application, and proper finishing techniques. For example, when we embark on a deck staining job, we first carefully clean and prep the surface by pressure cleaning the wood to remove any dirt or debris. This helps the stain penetrate the wood more consistently, giving it an even finish without splotches or uneven areas. Plus, pressure cleaning can help remove old stain or paint, getting the deck ready for a fresh coat.

We are experts in all aspects of pressure cleaning and utilize professional tools and techniques to prevent accidental damage. Furthermore, we prioritize sustainability and use biodegradable, eco-friendly cleaning products, so you donโ€™t have to worry about harsh chemicals harming your landscape or polluting the environment.

After the wood is prepared, we use professional tools to apply the stain and sealant, ensuring a smooth finish. Once weโ€™re finished, we clean up the area and dispose of any trash, so you arenโ€™t left with a big mess and can enjoy your newly-refinished deck.
