Deck Questions, Answered

How often should a deck be restained?

Every 2–4 years for most horizontal surfaces in our freeze-thaw climate, depending on sun exposure and the product used. Verticals like railings and fences go longer.

When's the best time to stain?

Late spring through early fall, in a dry stretch with moderate temps. We track the weather window so the stain cures properly β€” it matters more than people think.

Can you match new boards to my old deck?

New boards start lighter, but with the right stain choice they blend well β€” and after a season of weathering, most people can't pick out the replacements.

Solid, semi-transparent, or clear?

Depends on your wood's age and how much grain you want to see. Older, patched decks usually look best in semi-solid or solid; newer wood can carry a transparent look. We'll show you options at the quote.
