Protect Your Outdoor Space

There's no better way to protect, revitalize, and enhance your backyard than by hiring professional services and services like deck staining. Our full-service deck cleaning and staining program goes way beyond a superficial fix - it's a meticulous process that's designed to bring back the beauty and functionality of your outdoor space, and ensure a stunning finish that will last.

Over time, even the toughest, weathered deck will begin to show signs of wear and tear from the elements. UV damage, cracking, and decay will begin to set in, and without regular maintenance, your wood deck will start to lose its natural colour and become waterlogged. Without consistent deck maintenance, the wood will rot and become unsightly. Our expert deck-staining team uses the best tools and top-grade stains and sealants to deliver results that not only look great but also provide the highest level of protection.

Before we start staining, we meticulously inspect your existing boards for any hidden fees, damage, or rot and fix it. We make sure the entire surface is spick and span, and that all the wood is clean and ready for stain. And then we get to work, using all our expertise to bring back the beauty of your deck.

The key to an excellent, long lasting finish lies in preparation. We start by clearing the deck of all furniture and debris, then give it a thorough power wash to remove dirt, grime, mildew, and old stains that've built up. If there are any tough stains our cleaners can't remove, we will use a stiff-bristle brush to scrub the boards by hand until they are spotless. Once the deck is squeaky clean, we rinse it to remove all cleaner residue, then let it dry completely before we start staining. If we don't do it this way, you'll end up with a finish that peels off after a couple of months.

We also know that safety is a top priority, so our professionals wear all the right gear - including eye protection - while we're working on your deck.

Deck Refinishing - More than just a coat of paint

Our exterior deck refinishing service is comprehensive, covering everything from repairs to sealing. We know that decks in our climate require more than a quick coat of paint or stain to maintain their best appearance.

Our project process starts with a full inspection of the deck, checking for loose fasteners, loose boards, and protruding nails, before we gather all necessary supplies. We repair any damage we find and then sand the deck using our specialized tools to smooth out rough spots. Only then do we apply our top-grade stain to deliver a finish that will last for years to come.

Our deck refinishing service includes:

• A full inspection of the deck to check for any damage or rot

• Repairing or replacing any damaged boards

• Sanding the deck to smooth out any rough spots

• Sealing the deck to protect it from the elements

We handle everything to ensure your deck is safe and secure and looks its absolute best.

Our Top-notch Deck Staining Team:

We're here to help you pick a stain that's just right for your unique situation - wood type, amount of sun exposure, and the look you want. We can choose from all sorts of options - from transparent stain that lets the natural beauty of the wood show, to semi-transparent stain that adds a bit of color without covering up the texture, to solid stain that covers up imperfections and makes your deck look like new, almost like painting it.

We take a super professional approach to ensure that the stain we choose is durable and gives you the best protection from the sun and water absorption, and makes your deck last for years to come - a real family backyard that you'll love.

Our Staining Services

Our deck staining project always adheres to the strictest specifications to ensure top-notch quality and durability. We schedule the job during a dry spell so the wood can dry thoroughly before and after cleaning and staining, and we check the moisture level before we start to ensure it's not too wet. We use specialized cleaning agents to remove dirt and old wood fibers without damaging the deck. After power washing and a thorough rinse, we allowed it to dry completely before proceeding with the stain. We'll repair any damaged boards and make any necessary repairs to ensure the surface is smooth and even for the stain. And once we're done, you can be sure your deck is looking its best.

The Stain Itself

For the actual stain, we first ensure that any solid stain or paint is primed correctly on the wood to maximize adhesion. When we apply the stain, we use a brush to work it deep into the wood grain and between the deck boards. This not only gives better protection but also helps prevent the stain from flaking off from a surface application.

Where possible, we use a roller and applicators for larger areas and brushes for finer details around the edges and railings. If a second coat of stain is required for proper coverage or longevity, we adhere to the manufacturer's recommended dry time between coats.

We use only high-end supplies and equipment designed for exterior deck refinishing to ensure a top-notch job that withstands foot traffic and the elements. Hiring pros for a job like this means you can be sure your deck will get the level of protection it needs against mildew and UV damage, which is valued in our community, and you'll end up with a remarkable transformation. Our pro services are designed to keep your outdoor space looking and feeling great for years to come.

• Moisture Level Control: We apply stain only after the wood has thoroughly dried, and the moisture level is within the manufacturer's specifications. That way, we can ensure the stain penetrates deeply and lasts a long time.

• Comprehensive Sanding: Our team will sand the entire deck surface to ensure it's smooth and even, paying extra attention to areas with leftover paint or splintered wood. This guarantees a clean base for the deck stain to stick to.

• Picking the Right Stain: We'll help you choose the right stain for your deck boards, explaining the pros of solid stain vs. semi-transparent stain so you can bring out the wood grain or cover up tough stains.

• Two-Coat Application (if needed): We'll apply a thin, even second coat of deck stain only after the first coat has dried completely, to ensure the best possible colour and protection against water and wear.

• Perimeter Protection: We'll go around and make sure any adjacent siding, house trim, lights and patios are clean and protected from overspray or drips before we do the stain.

• Fastener Repair: We inspect all boards for loose nails or screws and make any necessary repairs to keep your deck safe and secure.

• Final Walkthrough: We do a thorough final check to make sure the finish is uniform and there are no missed spots or hidden costs before we say we're done with the project.

Installation and Reliability: A Step-by-Step Guide

Our deck staining services are reliable because we use a detailed, multi-step process that maximizes stain performance. First, we perform any necessary repairs and replace any damaged boards. We then clean the entire deck with commercial-grade cleaners and a stiff-bristle brush to remove mildew, dirt, and old stains. We rinse it all off and wait for the best dry-weather window to let the wood fully dry before we start sealing. That's the key to sealing a wood deck. The next step in this deck refinishing process is going to be sand, sand, sand - to give the deck boards a nice smooth finish that can actually accept the deck stain properly.

The sander helps remove residual fuzz after we power-wash, and we also need to perform one more cleanup to remove any dirt and debris that accumulated during sanding. Only when the deck is spotless and bone-dry do we begin applying the deck stain. We use only the best quality stain and tools - a combo of brush and roller - to ensure we get an even coat. When applying stain, we work with the grain of the boards and pay special attention to the ends to prevent water from getting in and causing damage.

If we need a second coat for full coverage, we apply it after the required drying time has passed. Safety is our top priority; we ensure your house and siding are protected from overspray. Once the job is complete and the deck has thoroughly dried, we conduct a final inspection to ensure the structural integrity and finish we've applied is top-notch and will last a long time. With the expertise and care we bring to this process, you can be confident your exterior deck will be protected and look great for years to come. And that's why hiring us is the smart move for maintaining your wood deck - we're the go-to pros in the community for deck maintenance services.
