Benefits of Deck & Fence Staining
Outdoor wood surfaces like decks and fences face year-round exposure to the elements, causing serious damage over time if left unprotected. Intense UV rays can dry out wood, causing premature aging and fading, while high humidity can promote mildew and mold growth. Professional staining has a variety of benefits that protect your wood surfaces while improving the appearance of your home:
- Seals the wood from moisture and the elements: A quality stain penetrates the wood and forms a protective barrier against rain, humidity, and direct sun. This helps prevent water intrusion, rot, mold growth, and premature aging.
- Extends the life of your deck or fence: Periodic staining significantly increases the lifespan of your wood surfaces, reducing costs in the long term.
- Enhances curb appeal: A beautiful deck improves the look of your property’s exterior, increasing your property value.
- Expresses your unique vision: We offer a variety of paint and stain colors to choose from to achieve the desired look for your home.

"CertaPro just completed powerwashing our home and painting our outside trim, wraparound porch, and deck. They also repaired and painted four inside ceilings, two of which had water damage. Everything looks great! After receiving a speedy, very detailed estimate from Brett, we scheduled the job. Francisco and his team were efficient and skilled. They were careful to cover our shrubs, concrete and stone patio. They went above and beyond to ensure we were completely satisfied. The job was completed in fewer days than quoted. We would definitely use them again!"

Common Questions About Deck Staining Projects
How long will the stain last before needing reapplication?
Depends on stains! A semi-transparent can last between 1-2 years, and a solid stain can last between 3-4 years.
What kind of maintenance is required after staining?
Periodic gentle cleaning once a year.
How does the stain withstand sun exposure?
Over time, your deck will fade due to sun exposure. You can extend the life of the stain by using outdoor umbrellas or awnings, but depending on the stain, reapplication will be necessary after a few years.
When is the best time of the year to stain a deck or fence?
The best time to stain a deck or fence in Georgia is anytime the weather is above 40 degrees and below 100 degrees. What is most important is that the weather is dry.
Are the stains low-VOC or environmentally safe? How will nearby plants, pets, or outdoor furniture be protected during service?
The majority of stains are water-based, non-toxic VOCs. Our team will protect plants where necessary. We ask you to keep your pets inside while our team is working and move furniture before we arrive.
