Wood Deck Staining

Wood deck staining protects your outdoor space from the rain and sun while bringing out the natural character of the wood. I begin by cleaning the deck thoroughly, removing mildew, dirt, and old surface contaminants so the stain can soak in evenly instead of sitting on top and peeling.

Depending on your goals, I can use transparent, semi-transparent, or solid stains. Transparent and semi-transparent options highlight the grain, while solid stains give more color change and added UV protection. I use proven exterior products designed for Northwest conditions to guard against moisture, graying, and surface cracking.

Railing, steps, and tight areas are brushed carefully to avoid drips and lap marks, while wider sections are worked so the finish looks uniform from every angle. The end result is a deck that looks refreshed, feels better underfoot, and is much better equipped to handle another cycle of seasons in Kent, WA, delaying costly repairs or replacement.
