Deck staining and sealing in Redwood City

Rich red-brown stained wood deck on a balcony with white walls and navy trim
A balcony deck stained, with the surrounding walls and trim painted.

A deck that has gone gray is not ruined. Most of the time the wood underneath is fine, and cleaning, sanding and a good stain bring it back.

Staining on a schedule is what keeps it from splitting and rotting. Abel can tell you how often your deck needs it based on how much sun it gets.

Questions people ask

How often should a deck be stained?

It depends on sun and foot traffic. Decks in full sun usually need it more often than shaded ones. Abel will look at yours and give you an honest answer.

Stain or paint for a deck?

Stain soaks into the wood and wears gradually. Paint sits on top and can peel on walking surfaces. Most decks do better with stain, while railings and trim can be painted.

Can you stain fences too?

Yes. Fences, pergolas and other outdoor wood can be added to a deck job.
