Benefits of Deck & Fence Staining
Wooden decks, fences, and other outdoor structures are constantly exposed to the elements, which can lead to significant wear and tear over time. Without proper care, UV rays can dry out wood causing it to fade and age quickly, while damp conditions may lead to mold and mildew. Professional staining offers long lasting protection and aesthetic benefits, helping to preserve and enhance your outdoor spaces:
• Shields Against Weather and Moisture: High quality stains soak into the wood and create a durable barrier that defends against sun, rain, and humidity. This protects the deck from rotting, molding, and water damage, which keeps your wood in excellent condition.
• Increased Longevity: Regular staining treatments can dramatically extend the life of your deck or fence, minimizing the need for costly repairs or replacement.
• Boosts visual appeal: A freshly stained deck or fence adds charm and sophistication to your home’s exterior, enhancing curb appeal and overall property value.
• Reflects Your Personal Style: Choose from a wide selection of stains and paint colours to complement your home’s look and bring your design to life.

Common Questions About Deck Staining Projects
How long does deck or fence stain typically last?
It depends on the type of stain used. Semi-transparent stains generally last 1–2 years, while solid stains offer longer protection, lasting around 3–4 years before needing a refresh.
What upkeep is needed after staining?
Just a light cleaning once a year is usually enough to keep the surface looking its best.
How does the stain hold up under sun exposure?
Sunlight will gradually fade the stain over time. Using shade options like umbrellas or awnings can help slow the fading process, but most stains will still require reapplication after a few years.
What’s the ideal time of year to stain a deck or fence?
The best time to stain a deck or fence in Okanagan is anytime the weather is between 50 degrees and 90 degrees. What is most important is that the weather is dry.
Are the stains eco-friendly? How are plants, pets, and outdoor items protected?
Most of the stains we use are water-based and low in VOCs, making them safer for people, pets, and the environment. We take care to shield nearby plants, and we kindly ask that pets remain indoors and outdoor furniture be moved before we arrive.
