It can vary a great deal depending on the amount of wear-and-tear (usually foot traffic, or pets). Generally if you start to see signs of peeling, bubbling, rot, or flaking, you should be thinking about a getting a staining or painting job done. Older wooden decks should get stained around once every 2-3 years. If water is soaking into the deck, and not beading up on the surface it’s time.
