Surfaces and Materials We Service for Deck and Fence Restoration
Our wood deck and fence staining in San Antonio, TX covers:
Wood Decking (Pine, Cedar, Redwood)
We start by wetting the surface to prevent chemical absorption, then apply wood-safe detergent or a 1–2% sodium hypochlorite solution. After allowing it to dwell for 5–10 minutes, we gently agitate it if needed and rinse with low pressure (300–500 PSI). After 24–48 hours of drying, we finish with an oil- or water-based stain or sealant, per your preference. We may decline jobs with structural movement, dry rot or unsafe railings.
Composite Decking (Trex and Similar)
For composite decking, we offer deck cleaning services only, without staining. We soft wash using non-corrosive cleaners at safe PSI levels because pressure washing may cause damage.
Cool Decking Around Pools
These epoxy or textured surfaces need soft wash treatment only. In South Texas heat, we protect plants by watering rather than tarping to prevent overheating and foliage burn.

What Our Customers Say
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you stain my deck even if it's been previously sealed?
What if my deck is badly rotted or unsafe?
We’ll always inspect for structural issues. If the deck isn’t safe to walk on or clean, we’ll pause service and provide repair recommendations instead of risking your property or our team.
Can you stain or seal a deck that has already been treated with a different type of product (e.g., oil-based vs. water-based)?
Yes, but the type of previous treatment affects what can be applied next. We’ll assess whether the surface needs sanding or stripping to ensure the new stain adheres properly. Our team adjusts the prep process based on the existing product type and condition.
How do I know if my deck needs sanding before staining or sealing?
If your deck has a previous stain or is heavily weathered, sanding may be necessary. We inspect the surface for peeling, flaking, or uneven absorption before recommending sanding. This step helps the stain soak in evenly and last longer.
What happens if it rains before the deck dries after cleaning?
Rain can delay the staining process if the deck hasn’t fully dried. We recommend a drying period of 24–48 hours after cleaning, and if unexpected weather hits, we’ll reschedule the sealing to ensure proper results.
Can you stain or seal decks in high humidity or extreme heat?
It depends on the product being used and weather conditions that day. We monitor humidity and temperature to ensure ideal application and curing conditions. In South Texas heat, early morning or shaded applications may be scheduled.
What are the signs that my deck or fence needs to be re-sealed or re-stained?
Faded color, graying wood, or water soaking in instead of beading are key signs. If your wood surface looks dull or absorbs moisture quickly, it’s likely time for a refresh.
Will staining or sealing change the color of my deck or fence?
Yes, most stains will alter the wood’s appearance. We offer a range of tones that enhance natural grain or create a deeper, richer finish—depending on the look you want.
Is sealing the same as staining, or are they different services?
Staining adds color and protection, while sealing focuses solely on moisture resistance. We offer both separately or as a combined option based on your needs and goals.
Do you provide stain samples or finish options to choose from?
Yes, we can show you stain tone options before application. Product availability may vary, but we aim to match your aesthetic preferences as closely as possible.
How often should I re-seal or re-stain my wood deck or fence?
Most wood surfaces need sealing every 1–2 years, depending on sun exposure and weather. Regular deck or fence maintenance helps prevent damage and keeps your outdoor areas looking great.
Do you clean or stain decks around pools or hot tubs?
Yes, we regularly treat decks near pools, including cool decking and wood surrounds. We use soft wash methods and pool-safe products to protect nearby surfaces.
Will your cleaning or staining chemicals affect my pool water?
We take precautions to protect pool water during wood deck staining. Areas near pools are rinsed and shielded to avoid chemical runoff into the water.
