Deck & fence staining
Deck & fence staining that protects the wood
Cleaning, sanding, and sealing that protects the boards you already have and brings the color back to life. The right stain extends the life of a deck or fence through Minnesota’s seasons.
What we do
We clean, sand, and seal decks and fences. Staining penetrates and protects the wood, guarding against moisture, sun, and the freeze-thaw cycle that wears boards down here.
We’ll talk through transparent, semi-transparent, and solid stains so the look and protection fit your wood.
How a project goes
- Free estimate. We look at the space, talk through colors and finishes, and give you a clear written price.
- Prep. We clean the wood, let it dry, and sand rough or weathered spots so the stain takes evenly.
- Paint. Two coats by default, even color, crisp edges, with check-ins so the color is right.
- Walkthrough. We walk the finished room with you and fix anything before we call it done.
Clean & sand first
We clean and sand so the stain soaks in evenly instead of sitting on grime.

Deck & fence questions
Should I stain or paint my deck?
For most decks, stain is the better choice, it soaks in, protects the wood, and wears more gracefully than paint. We’ll recommend what fits your boards during the free estimate.
When is the best time to stain a deck?
Dry, mild weather is best so the stain can penetrate and cure, generally late spring through early fall in Minnesota.
How long does deck stain last?
It depends on the stain, the wood, and sun exposure, but a good stain typically protects for a few seasons before a refresh. We’ll set expectations for your deck.
