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. Freeze/thaw cycles throughout the seasons cause expansion and contraction, which can lead to cracking, splitting, and warping, while high humidity promotes mold growth. However, 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, ice, 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.

He did an excellent job and we were extremely pleased. Their rates are higher than a lot of other companies that provide this service, but considering the quality of work, it is well worth it.

"I have used them twice and will always use them whenever I need something painted. Vicki came and did my site review and estimate, she was able to tell me right then how much it would cost to complete the job. She was so helpful with recommending different things that she noticed and making sure the job was completed and I was totally happy with everything. They sent Elvin and his team and they are so meticulous and thorough. They take their time to make it look perfect. He really takes pride in the job that he and his team does. You can't go wrong with using them."

Common Questions About Deck Staining Projects
How often should I paint or stain my deck?
Deck staining should be done once every two to three years, depending on the severity of environmental elements it is exposed to. Over time, due to sun exposure, rain, and foot traffic, the stain wears off and water comes into contact with the wood, increasing the chances of cracking, warping, mold growth, and rotting.
Can CertaPro Painters® replace broken or rotted sections of wood on a deck?
Yes, as long as the damage is non-structural, we can make light carpentry repairs as needed. Most homeowners prefer a more opaque stain or paint coating after wood replacement to create a more uniform finish.
Do I need to be home while the painters are working on my deck?
No, it is not required that you be home while the crew is working, although it is ideal to have someone there for the start of the project.
Do I need to sand my deck prior to painting or staining?
Sanding is not a requirement for staining a deck. The sanding process enhances the feel of the deck and can improve the appearance, but sanding is not always required. When preparing your estimate, our representative will discuss the best preparation techniques for you based on the needs of your property.
