Deck Staining, Sealing & Painting

Keep Your Deck Looking Amazing

A fresh coat of stain or sealant does more than make your deck look good. It protects the wood from moisture, sun damage, and everyday wear. Without proper protection, your deck will fade, crack, and deteriorate much faster. Regular staining and sealing extends the life of your deck by years.

We provide professional deck finishing services for homeowners throughout Santa Barbara. Whether you need to refresh an old deck or protect a new one, we use high-quality products that stand up to California's coastal climate. Your deck will look better and last longer.

Our Deck Finishing Services

We offer three main services to protect and beautify your wood deck:

• •Deck Staining: Enhances the natural beauty of wood while protecting it from UV rays and moisture. Available in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid colors.
• •Deck Sealing: Creates a protective barrier against water and prevents mold, mildew, and rot. Clear sealers maintain the natural wood color.
• •Deck Painting: Provides maximum protection and allows for custom colors. Great for older decks that need a fresh new look.

We help you choose the right product based on your deck's age, wood type, and how much maintenance you want to do. Most wood decks benefit from staining or sealing every two to three years.

Our Professional Process

Deep Cleaning

We start by thoroughly cleaning your deck. We remove dirt, mildew, and old finish using professional cleaners and pressure washing. This step ensures the new stain or sealant bonds properly to the wood.

Repairs and Prep

We inspect your deck for any damage and make necessary repairs before finishing. We sand rough spots, replace damaged boards, and tighten loose fasteners. If your deck needs more extensive work, we also offer deck repair services.

Application

We apply stain, sealant, or paint using professional techniques. We work carefully to ensure even coverage with no drips or missed spots. We typically apply two coats for maximum protection and beauty. Your deck will be ready to use in 24 to 48 hours depending on the product and weather.

Why Regular Maintenance Matters

Santa Barbara's sun and coastal air are tough on wood decks. UV rays break down wood fibers and cause fading. Moisture leads to rot and mildew. Regular staining and sealing protects against all of this. A well-maintained deck can last 20 years or more, while a neglected deck may need replacing in just 10 years.

The best time to stain or seal your deck is during dry weather when temperatures are moderate. Spring and fall are ideal in Santa Barbara. We can set up a maintenance schedule so you never have to worry about when your deck needs attention.
