Deck & Fence Staining
Bring grey, sun-baked wood back to life and keep it protected for years.
Wood outdoors takes a beating. Months of hot sun dry out redwood and cedar, turn them grey and open up splits that let winter rain in. A good cleaning and a quality stain bring the color back and keep water out so boards do not warp, split or rot.
Process
- Clean with a wood-safe brightener to lift grey fibers, dust and mildew
- Sand rough spots and replace damaged boards
- Apply a penetrating oil or semi-transparent stain with UV blockers
What we stain
Decks, patio covers, pergolas, redwood and cedar fences, gates and arbors.
Common questions
- How often should a deck be re-stained?
- In full sun, plan on every two years for decks and horizontal surfaces. Fences and shaded areas usually go three to four years.
- Can you stain a fence that has already gone grey?
- Yes. A wood brightener lifts most of the grey fibers, and a semi-transparent stain evens out the rest. Badly split or rotted boards get replaced first.
