Protect Your Deck from Wear and Tear

Your deck faces year-round exposure to sun, rain, and moisture, which can cause fading, cracking, and even rot. Regular staining not only enhances its appearance but also adds a layer of protection, helping it withstand harsh conditions.

By investing in regular staining, you’re not just making your deck look beautiful—you’re fortifying it against these challenges. A quality stain acts as a barrier, sealing the wood and repelling moisture, UV rays, and other environmental stressors, so your deck remains strong, safe, and inviting for years to come.

Common issues we handle:
  • Faded wood that’s lost its original color due to sun exposure
  • Water damage or mold buildup from poor weatherproofing
  • Splintering wood or peeling old stain in high-traffic areas
  • Mildew or algae growth from moisture
  • Stains caused by furniture, foot traffic, or pets
  • General weathering from year-round exposure
