Deck & Fence Staining Services
Many homeowners choose to invest in a staining service because it allows the natural grain of wood surfaces to show through. This can add a bit more outdoorsy charm to your deck or patio space. Staining your deck will also increase its lifespan by preventing rot and insect infestation. Deck staining will prevent your wood from absorbing excess moisture and prevent costly damages in the future.
When it comes to selecting deck stain colors, there are plenty of options, from natural-looking clear wood stains to bold solid colors. While you’re looking for one to suit your project, you should consider that a clear stain will bring out the wood grain, while a solid color will reveal very little of the wood’s natural color.
Sometimes homeowners will leave their pressure-treated wood as is because they think that you can not apply stain to treatment. This is not the case. There are many different shades of stain that can complement the look of treated wood. You can stain all decks whether they are pressure treated or they have already been stained.

When To Re-Stain Your Deck of Fence
Homeowners should re-stain their decks and fences periodically. The lifespan of your deck stain will depend on several different factors including:
The elements: direct sunlight is the biggest threat to your deck because it can cause the stain to dry out and weather much faster. Rain can also cause damage, especially if your deck is not treated.
Foot traffic: Once you have applied a good deck stain, typical use of your deck will not begin to show signs of wear for several months. Gradually, the stain will begin to wear as the small particles of dirt beneath people’s shoes rub on the deck’s surface like sandpaper.
When is it time to reapply deck stain?
Your deck stain’s full protection will only last for three or four years, but to prolong its effect, you can apply another coat after two years. However, it is better for your deck not to apply too many coats of stain. After four years, you should remove the old stain and apply two fresh coats. This will strengthen and revitalize the wood.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. How often should I paint or stain my deck?
Most decks need to be stained every 2 to 3 years, depending on exposure to sunlight, rain, and daily use. Regular maintenance helps prevent moisture damage, mold, and wood deterioration.
2. Do I need to be home while the crew is working?
No, you do not need to be at home for the entire project. It is helpful for someone to be present at the beginning to review details, but the crew can complete the work while you are away.
3. What preparation does my deck or fence need before staining?
Preparation usually includes cleaning or power washing to remove dirt, mildew, and old coatings. In some cases, sanding may be recommended to smooth rough spots and ensure a uniform finish. Your estimator will determine the best approach for your specific project.
4. Can CertaPro repair damaged areas on my deck or fence?
Yes, light carpentry repairs can be done before staining or painting. This may include replacing damaged or rotted boards and securing loose areas to make sure the surface is ready for finishing.
5. What stain or paint colors are popular?
For decks, lighter natural tones like cedar or oak and richer colors such as redwood and mahogany are common. For fences, homeowners often choose white paint, natural stains, or modern colors like green and gray.
6. What is the difference between painting and staining?
Painting covers the wood with a solid color finish, while staining penetrates the wood and highlights its natural grain. Stains are available in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid options depending on the look you want.
7. What are the benefits of staining or painting my deck or fence?
Both staining and painting improve appearance and protect against weather, UV rays, and daily wear. These finishes extend the life of your wood surfaces and reduce long-term maintenance costs.
8. How long does the process take?
The application itself may take a few hours depending on the size of the deck or fence. Drying usually requires several hours, and it is best to avoid use until the next day to allow for proper curing.
