Deck and fence staining that protects the wood, not just colors it
Decks, fences, pergolas, and porches cleaned, brightened, and stained to hold up to sun and rain.
Outdoor wood on the Gulf Coast goes gray, then soft, faster than almost anywhere. A good stain job slows that down for years: the wood is cleaned to remove mildew and gray fibers, brightened to open the grain, allowed to dry, and then stained with a penetrating or semi-transparent finish that sheds water and blocks UV.
We stain and seal decks, privacy fences, pergolas, porch floors, and outdoor structures, in clear, semi-transparent, or solid finishes depending on how much of the wood grain you want to see and how much sun the surface takes. A pressure-treated fence that has weathered a season or two is a good candidate; brand-new wood usually needs time to dry out first, and we'll tell you if yours isn't ready.

Often paired with: exterior painting. Ask about doing them in one visit, since the prep and the setup overlap.
Questions about deck & fence staining
My fence is brand new. Can you stain it right away?
Usually not. New pressure-treated wood holds a lot of moisture and needs to dry out, often a few weeks to a few months depending on the weather, before stain will soak in properly. We'll check it and tell you when it's ready.
Stain or paint for a deck?
Stain, almost always. Paint sits on top of the wood and peels where feet and water hit it; a penetrating stain soaks in and wears gradually, so maintenance is a simple re-coat rather than scraping.
How often will it need to be re-done?
Horizontal surfaces like deck boards take the most sun and water and typically need a refresh sooner than a fence or railing. We'll give you a realistic maintenance timeline for your finish and exposure.
