🧱 Our Complete Deck & Fence Staining Process
1. Prep & Protection
We start by power washing and cleaning all wood surfaces to remove dirt, mildew, and old coatings. Once dry, we sand rough areas, tighten loose boards, and mask surrounding surfaces for protection.
2. Stain Application
We apply professional-grade stains evenly by brush, roller, or sprayer, depending on the surface type. Every project receives two coats for maximum UV and moisture resistance. Choose from transparent, semi-transparent, or solid finishes to match your home’s style.
3. Clean Finish
After the stain dries, we remove coverings, check for even colour and absorption, and perform a full walk-through to ensure every board looks consistent and protected.
Questions From Homeowners
Q: Why stain my deck or fence?
A: Staining protects your wood from sun, rain, and everyday wear while enhancing its natural beauty. It helps prevent cracking, splitting, and rot, and keeps your deck or fence looking fresh and well-maintained for years.
Q: How often should I stain?
A: Most decks and fences need staining every 2–3 years. Factors like direct sunlight, heavy rainfall, and foot traffic can affect how quickly the stain fades, so some areas may need touch-ups sooner to maintain protection and appearance.
Q: Can I DIY it?
A: While staining yourself is possible, achieving an even, durable finish requires proper surface prep, the right stain, and correct application techniques. Our professional team ensures a high-quality result that lasts longer and looks flawless.
Q: How long does it take?
A: Staining typically takes 1–3 days for most residential decks or fences. This includes cleaning, preparation, application, and drying time. Larger projects or wood that needs extra prep may take a bit longer to ensure a perfect finish.
Q: Do you clean before staining?
A: Yes! We always clean your deck or fence before staining. Removing dirt, mildew, and old finishes ensures the new stain adheres properly and provides a smooth, long-lasting protective coat.
Q: Can you match my current stain?
A: Absolutely! We can match or complement your existing wood color, whether you want a uniform look across your property or a fresh update that highlights your deck or fence’s natural grain.
