Deck Staining
We stain cedar and pine decks once a wash has cleared the gray and the wood has dried out. The deck boards and railings come back to an even color.

Fence staining brings color back to wood that the sun has faded to gray. We stain cedar and pine privacy fences, the standard backyard fence around San Antonio, plus wood decks. Each job starts with deck and fence cleaning to strip off the gray and any growth. The stain goes on after the wood has dried all the way through.

San Antonio averages 18 days a year of 100-plus degree heat. Strong summer sun fades bare wood to gray, and the heat dries the boards out. Dry boards shrink, and over time they crack and split along the grain.
Stain sinks into the wood and adds UV protection to the boards. It does that best on a clean fence, where it can soak in evenly. The wood also has to dry out completely, since most stains will not stick to damp wood.
Fence stains range from transparent to solid, and all of them keep the wood's natural texture. Stain that goes on right fades over time instead of chipping or peeling. That leaves less prep work when the fence needs its next coat.
Wood fence restoration brings a gray, weathered fence back to an even color. The wash comes first and takes off the gray layer, along with any green or black growth. Once the wood has dried through, the stain goes on.
Restoration has limits, and it helps to know them before the work starts. Stain brings color back to old pickets, but it does not close cracks or smooth out split boards. Rough wood takes the color and stays rough. We point out boards like that at the estimate.
A weathered fence often takes more stain than newer wood. That is one reason the wood's condition is part of the price. You can have both sides stained, or only the side that faces your yard.
Deck staining follows the same order as a fence. The deck gets cleaned first, and the boards dry out fully before any stain goes on. Deck boards in shade hold water longer, so they get extra drying time.
We stain the boards and railings of wood decks. Composite decking is cleaned, never stained. If your deck pairs composite boards with wood stairs or railings, the wood parts can take stain after the wash.
When the deck and the fence both need stain, one estimate can cover the whole job. Financing is available for larger projects like that.

I did roof and gutter package and they took off 10 years of black water streaks or algae but looks new now - highly recommend them
