Deck & Fence Staining Services

Water Resistance
Help the wood shed water instead of absorbing it.
UV Protection
Reduce graying and fading caused by sun exposure.
Surface Life
Help slow weathering with regular, properly applied maintenance coats.

- 3.Allow proper drying time.
- 4.Sand or prep problem areas where required.
- 5.Apply the selected stain or sealer.
- 6.Review coverage and finish before completion.

Deck & Fence Staining FAQs
As a general Decker planning range, deck staining averages about $2.20–$2.50 per square foot, while fence staining averages about $1.10–$1.45 per square foot. Final pricing depends on surface condition, pressure washing, sanding or prep, repairs, access, stain selection, and whether an existing coating requires additional removal or preparation.
The interval depends on the stain product, sun exposure, moisture, traffic, wood condition, and how the previous finish is wearing. Decker evaluates the existing surface rather than applying one fixed maintenance schedule to every deck.
Yes, when pressure washing is appropriate for the surface and existing condition. The goal is to remove dirt, organic growth, and loose material without damaging the wood. Additional preparation may still be needed after washing.
Sanding is used where needed based on the condition of the wood, previous coatings, rough areas, splinters, or other surface problems. Not every project requires full sanding of every board.
Product selection depends on the wood, existing finish, color goals, and project conditions. Decker has experience with a range of exterior wood stains and sealers, including Armstrong Clark products where appropriate.
Yes. Damaged or deteriorated boards and related deck components can be repaired or replaced before staining when included in the project scope.
Drying time depends on weather, shade, humidity, wood condition, and the amount of moisture introduced during preparation. Decker allows the surface to dry sufficiently for the selected product rather than relying on one fixed number of hours for every project.
Yes. Decker stains and seals decks, fences, pergolas, railings, stairs, and other exterior wood surfaces when they are part of the project scope.
