Deck Staining & Sealing in Nashville, TN

Sealed wood lasts. Bare wood doesn't.

An unsealed deck in Middle Tennessee takes UV and moisture year round, and the surface fibers break down within a couple of seasons.

Deck Staining & Sealing questions we get asked

How often should a deck be re-stained?

Semi-transparent every 2 to 3 years, solid stain every 3 to 5. Sun exposure drives the interval more than anything else.

Can a new deck be stained right away?

Pressure-treated lumber usually needs a few weeks to months to dry out enough. We test moisture rather than going by a calendar.

Stain or paint?

Stain on decking, always. Paint on a walking surface peels because it sits on top of the wood instead of soaking in.
