Our Deck Refinishing Process

01

Inspect & Clean

We inspect the deck for rot, damage, and loose fasteners. The surface is cleaned with a deck-specific cleaner to remove dirt, mildew, and old sealant.

02

Strip & Sand

Old stain and sealer is stripped or sanded to bare wood. Splintered or damaged boards are repaired or replaced before finishing.

03

Apply Stain or Sealant

Premium stain or sealant is applied evenly — brushed into cracks and rolled on flat surfaces for complete coverage and proper absorption.

04

Protect & Maintain

We provide care instructions to maximize the life of your finish. Regular cleaning and annual inspection catches small issues early.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I stain or seal my deck in Eugene?+
In Lane County's wet climate, decks need resealing every 1-3 years depending on sun exposure, foot traffic, and the quality of the previous finish. A properly prepared and sealed deck with premium products lasts significantly longer than a rushed job with budget sealants.
Do you strip old stain before applying new stain?+
Yes. For most decks, we strip or sand the old finish to bare wood before applying new stain or sealer. Applying new stain over old, failing finish results in peeling and uneven absorption. Proper prep is the key to a long-lasting deck finish.
What deck stains do you recommend for Oregon weather?+
We use semi-transparent and solid-body stains from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore that are formulated for high-moisture environments. For decks with heavy sun exposure, we select UV-resistant formulations that hold their color longer.
Do you repair deck boards before staining?+
Yes. If your deck has rotted, warped, or damaged boards, we can repair or replace them before staining. We also check for loose fasteners, protruding nails, and splintered surfaces that need attention. See our dry rot repair page for deck-specific rot issues.
