What's Included

Every deck, start to seal

Strip old finish

Failing stain and sealer stripped off. New stain can't soak into wood that's still coated - that's why re-stains peel.

Sand & clean

Sand rough, gray boards back to fresh wood, then wash and brighten. This is what makes a tired deck look new again.

Repair & set fasteners

Pop and re-set proud nails, flag rotted or split boards, and note anything unsafe before we coat.

Premium stain or sealer

Penetrating oil or hybrid stain rated for foot traffic and sun. Transparent, semi-transparent, or solid - your call.

Even, full coverage

Boards, railings, spindles, steps, and fascia. Back-brushed so it soaks in evenly instead of sitting on top.

Cleanup & walk

Furniture moved and replaced, plants protected, deck swept. We walk it with you before we collect a dime.

What We Stain

Decks, railings, and everything wood outside

Deck floors & steps

Pressure-treated pine, cedar, and hardwood decks. Traffic-rated finishes so it doesn't wear through in the walking paths.

Railings & spindles

The detailed part most crews rush. We brush railings, balusters, and post caps by hand for clean, even color.

Pergolas & porches

Covered porches, pergolas, gazebos, and screened decks. Matched to your deck or your trim, whichever you want.

FAQs

Deck staining questions

Should I stain or paint my deck?

For most Knoxville decks we recommend stain. It soaks in, shows the wood grain, and wears without peeling. Paint sits on top and tends to peel underfoot. If your deck was already painted, we can talk through options on the walkthrough.

How often does a deck need re-staining?

Horizontal deck boards take the most sun and foot traffic, so they typically need a refresh every 2–3 years. Railings and covered areas last longer. Prep is what makes each coat last.

Transparent, semi-transparent, or solid stain?

More pigment means more UV protection and longer life, but less visible grain. Semi-transparent is the common sweet spot in Knoxville. We'll show you samples on your actual wood before you decide.

When can decks be stained here?

Spring through fall, on dry wood with a dry window to cure. We don't stain in active rain, right after rain, or when rain is forecast before the finish sets. We watch the forecast and schedule around it.

Do you replace rotted boards?

Minor board and fastener fixes are usually included. Larger rot or structural replacement is quoted up front separately so there are no surprises.
