Why Staining Your Deck Is Worth Every Dollar
An unprotected wood deck in Portland lasts 5–8 years before rotting. A properly stained and sealed deck lasts 15–20 years. That's one treatment protecting thousands of dollars of investment.
Repels Rain & Moisture
Portland averages 36+ inches of rain per year. Untreated wood absorbs moisture, leading to rot, warping, and structural damage in just a few wet seasons.
Blocks UV Damage
Sunlight turns raw wood gray and brittle within one season. Quality stain creates a UV barrier that preserves the wood's color and structural integrity for years.
Stops Rot & Insects
Professional stain penetrates deep into the wood grain, creating a protective layer that wood-boring insects and the fungal rot that follows moisture can't easily break through.
Doubles Your Deck's Lifespan
The math is straightforward: one staining job every 2–3 years costs far less than deck board replacement or a full rebuild. Protection is always cheaper than repair.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I stain my deck?
In Portland, most decks need restaining every 2–3 years due to rain and humidity. Solid stains last longer than transparent ones.
Do you pressure wash the deck first?
Yes. We clean the deck thoroughly before staining. A clean surface is essential for the stain to bond and last.
How long does deck staining take?
Most standard decks take 1–2 days including prep and drying time between coats. Larger or neglected decks may take longer.
Can you repair damaged boards before staining?
Yes. We replace or repair damaged boards as part of the prep process. We quote any repairs separately upfront.
