Deck and fence staining

Nashville summers and Murfreesboro winters both take a toll on exterior wood, and an unstained deck or fence weathers fast. We clean, repair, and stain decks and fences so they hold up and still look like wood, not paint.

We start by clearing the area and setting drop cloths over patios, plants, and anything nearby that stain can drip on. The wood gets cleaned to remove mildew, dirt, and old finish, then we check boards, rails, and posts for loose nails, splinters, or rot and make small repairs before staining begins. Sanding smooths rough spots so the stain goes on even and soaks in properly.

For the finish, we use a stain or sealant suited to the wood and the amount of sun and moisture it gets, applying it evenly across boards, rails, and fence pickets. Two coats are common on decks that see heavy foot traffic or direct sun. We keep lines clean around posts, stairs, and gates, and we plan the work around weather so it cures properly and stays on schedule.

• Cleaning and mildew removal before any stain goes on
• Minor wood repairs such as loose boards or nails
• Stain or sealant matched to sun and moisture exposure
• Clean lines around posts, rails, and gates, finished on schedule
