  • Is a license required to stain a deck?

    No contractor license or permits are required to stain a deck.  Some cities do requite an occupational license to do gneral business in their city.



  • Which type of stains are best for wood decks?

    Exterior wood stains typically come as follows:

    • clear
    • transparent (you can have a hint of color)
    • semi-transparent
    • solid color

    Stain and sealers help prolong the life of decks by keeping the sun's UV rays from damaging the wood.  Between the UV rays, rain, hail, and snow, fences will slowly start to weather and turn brown or black.


    Eventually they dry out enough where they may start to crack and eventually fall apart.


    Clear stains don't add any color to the deck and their primary funtion is to keep water from pentrating the wood.


    Transparent stains may actually have a hint of color so you get protection and nice looks.  These allow the grain of wood to show.


    Semi-transparents provide more protection than the previous two because the stain itself has some solid particles that allow for more protection.


    Solid color stains provide the maximum protection and tend to last longer than ther other types of stains.  


    The more solid the stain, the less you will have to re-apply over the years.




  • When can you stain a brand new deck?

    A brand new pressure treated deck must dry out for about 60 days before it can be stained.  The reason being is that the wood has been treated with preservatives to keep water or any other liquid from penetrating.  If you do stain a brand new pressure treated deck, the stain will likely peel quickly.


    A brand new cedar or kiln dried wood deck can be stained or sealed immediately.  These materials have no preservatives or have dried out long enough that staining them won't be an issue.


  • How long does it take it take to stain a deck?

    It all depends on the conditions of the existing deck and prep work required along with the obvious size.


    Most decks take from 1 to 3 days including pressure washing.
