Deck Staining, Sealing & Painting

Why Your Wood Deck Needs Protection

Wood is a beautiful natural material, but it needs protection from the elements. Without proper sealing and staining, wood decks quickly deteriorate from sun damage, moisture, and temperature changes. Texas weather is especially hard on exposed wood, with intense UV rays, heavy rain, and high humidity all working to break down the fibers and cause rot.

Professional staining and sealing creates a protective barrier that blocks moisture, prevents UV damage, and resists mold and mildew growth. This not only keeps your deck looking beautiful but also extends its lifespan by many years.

Our Professional Finishing Process

Proper deck finishing requires more than just slapping on some stain. We follow a proven process that ensures beautiful, long-lasting results. First, we thoroughly clean your deck using professional cleaners and techniques that remove all dirt, mildew, and old finish without damaging the wood. Then we allow the deck to dry completely, which usually takes one to two days depending on weather conditions.

Next, we inspect every board and sand any rough areas or splinters. This creates a smooth surface that accepts stain or sealer evenly. We also check for any boards that need repair before finishing. If we find damage during this inspection, we can handle deck repairs before applying the finish.

Finally, we apply your chosen stain or sealer using professional equipment that ensures even coverage. We pay special attention to end cuts, railings, and stairs where moisture tends to penetrate. The result is a beautifully finished deck that is protected from the elements and ready to enjoy. Many clients also ask about our wood deck installation services when they see the quality of our finishing work.

How Often Should You Restain or Reseal Your Deck

Most wood decks need to be resealed or restained every two to three years to maintain proper protection. However, the exact timing depends on several factors including your wood type, sun exposure, weather conditions, and foot traffic. Decks in full sun may need refinishing more often than those in shaded areas.

You can tell it is time for refinishing when you notice water no longer beads up on the surface, the color has faded significantly, or the wood feels rough and dry. Do not wait until you see serious damage like cracking, splintering, or rot. By then, you may need repairs in addition to refinishing.

We offer maintenance reminders and can set up a regular schedule so you never have to worry about when your deck needs attention. Regular maintenance is always cheaper and easier than waiting until major repairs are necessary.
