Deck & Fence Staining

Gray wood is not dead wood

Snow sits on a Tahoe deck for five months, then the sun works on it for four more. Left alone, boards go silver, then splinter, then rot. Almost always the wood underneath is fine, and stripping, sanding, and staining costs a small fraction of rebuilding the deck.

What's included

  • Strip old failed finish and sand to clean, receptive wood
  • Popped nails and screws reset before any stain goes down
  • Penetrating stain matched to your wood species and exposure
  • Rails, stairs, skirting, and fences, not just the deck floor
  • Scheduled for the dry window so the stain actually penetrates

What most bids leave out

Staining over a failing finish traps moisture and guarantees you'll do it again next year. The prep is the product.

“Our deck was silver and splintering and I assumed we'd be rebuilding it. They brought it back for a tenth of the price.”
