Why should I stain my fence, deck, or other wooden structure?

Staining protects against UV, rain, and snow while maintaining appearance and value.

How long does a stain application typically last?

Usually three to five years depending on exposure and maintenance.

What types of products do you use for staining?

We primarily use high-quality oil-based stains. Water-based solid stains are available for a more opaque finish.

Do I need to apply a sealant over the stain?

No. The stains we use function as both stain and sealant.

How long should I wait before staining a new deck?

Wait until the moisture content is under seven percent. Cedar typically needs three to six months, while treated pine often needs about a year.
