How much does fence and deck staining Cost?
How much it will cost to cover or maintain your fence or deck depends largely on the condition it is in. While painting and staining cost about the same at $2-$5 per square foot, if your property in need of staining is in weathered condition it may take more work to prepare the area for a fresh coat. Painting an old deck or fence with existing paint may only require a good pressure wash. Applying stain, however, requires a surface to be clean and sanded well to achieve best results. Repairing and refinishing a deck can add more to a project but is also another reason to prioritize regular upkeep of your fence or deck to minimize expensive repairs down the road. Railings on your deck ranges between $4 per linear foot and $12.50 per linear foot of railing that needs coverage. That includes power washing or power sanding, as well as spindles included on the railing. If you're project needs it, stripping the wood can cost around $50 per hour for a professional and can take between 10 and 20 hours. Stripping the wood includes applying a specialized cleaner before sanding to remove old paint and finish before you can apply new stain. While it is no small task, if done right, a professional team can turn any deck into the dream oasis or backyard barbecue you’ve always dreamed of.

How to choose an fence and deck refinishing contractor
Hiring a deck restoration contractor does not have to be difficult but you certainly want to do some research prior to making a decision. Many painters do not have the knowledge or experience of the necessary preparation and application of a wood stain. And the best thing to remember is usually you get what you pay for. This means the cheapest contractor may not give you the results you expect. If a deck cleaning estimate is unusually low they may not have sufficient insurance, use sub-par products, or might cut corners to turn a profit. Once a company gives you an estimate, ask if it is final. Be sure all labor and materials are included and that you are paying for the entire project. Lastly, check to see how long the deck restoration contractor has been in business. Ask for references, testimonials, and any information or pictures of past deck restoration jobs. We are raising the bar in the painting industry through integrity and professionalism one home at a time! Call us and we'll take care of the rest.
