Deck Staining, Sealing & Painting

Keep Your Wood Deck Looking Its Best

Wood decks need regular staining and sealing to stay beautiful and protected. Utah's intense sun, temperature swings, and winter moisture all take a toll on unprotected wood. Professional staining and sealing creates a barrier against these elements, preventing fading, cracking, warping, and rot. We provide expert deck finishing services throughout Provo, helping homeowners maintain and restore their wood decks.

Whether your deck is brand new and needs its first protective coat, or weathered and faded from years of neglect, we have the experience to make it look great. Our process includes proper surface preparation, quality products, and careful application techniques that ensure long-lasting results. A properly maintained deck can last 20 years or more, but skip the maintenance and you might need replacement in half that time.

Our Professional Deck Finishing Process

Great results start with thorough preparation. We begin by cleaning your deck to remove dirt, mildew, and old stain or sealer. For weathered decks, we may use gentle power washing to restore the wood surface. Once clean, we let the deck dry completely before moving forward.

Next, we sand rough areas and splinters, creating a smooth surface that accepts stain evenly. We inspect for any repairs needed before staining, addressing loose boards, popped nails, or damaged areas. Trying to stain over problems just hides them temporarily.

Finally, we apply your chosen stain or sealer using professional techniques that ensure even coverage and proper penetration. We protect your home's siding, landscaping, and any adjacent surfaces. The result is a beautifully finished deck that is protected from the elements and ready for years of enjoyment.

Choosing the Right Finish for Your Deck

Different finishes offer different levels of protection and appearance. Here is what you need to know to make the best choice for your Provo deck:

• •Clear sealers: Protect wood while maintaining its natural color. Show off beautiful wood grain. Need reapplication more frequently than stains.
• •Semi-transparent stains: Add color while letting wood grain show through. Provide UV protection and moisture resistance. Popular choice for most homeowners.
• •Semi-solid stains: More pigment hides imperfections while still showing some texture. Excellent UV protection. Great for older decks with weathering.
• •Solid stains: Completely hide wood grain like paint but still allow wood to breathe. Maximum coverage for damaged or mismatched boards.
• •Deck paint: Full coverage in any color. Best for decks with extensive weathering or repairs. Requires proper surface prep for good adhesion.

We help you choose products designed for horizontal surfaces that receive foot traffic. Deck stains and sealers are formulated differently than fence or siding products to handle the unique demands of a walking surface.
