Why Staining & Sealing Matters for Richmond Decks & Fences
The Richmond area sees hot summers, heavy humidity, and seasonal pollen, all of which can damage wood over time. If left untreated, your deck or fence will eventually suffer from:
- Warping and cracking
- Rot from moisture and mildew
- Discoloration from sun exposure
- Splinters and surface degradation
A fresh coat of high-quality stain and sealant not only restores the beauty of wood, it acts as a vital protective barrier against the elements.

Our Richmond Deck & Fence Staining & Sealing Process
1. Inspection & Prep
We start with a detailed evaluation of your wood structure, checking for mildew, old paint, water damage, and structural issues. Power washing is then used to remove dirt, algae, and grime and create a clean surface ready for stain.
2. Sanding & Repairs
If needed, we’ll sand down rough patches, address splinters, and make small repairs to ensure your surface is smooth, safe, and ready to absorb the stain evenly.
3. Professional Staining
We apply premium, contractor-grade stains using brushes, rollers, or sprayers based on the wood type and surface condition. Choose from transparent, semi-transparent, or solid stains in a range of tones to match your style.
4. Sealing for Long-Term Protection
We finish the job with a high-performance wood sealant that provides maximum protection against moisture, UV rays, and mildew, helping your fence or deck stay stronger for longer.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I stain my deck in Richmond’s climate?
We recommend re-staining your deck every 2 to 3 years due to the area’s humidity and temperature shifts.
What’s the best time of year to stain or seal a deck or fence in Virginia?
Late spring to early fall is ideal for dry, warm, pollen-free weather that promotes proper stain adhesion.
Can you stain a fence or deck that’s already weathered or gray?
Yes! We restore older Richmond decks and fences with thorough power washing, sanding, and conditioning.
Do I need to be home while the work is being done?
No, as long as we have access to the project area. Many clients in Short Pump, Midlothian, and the Fan schedule while away.
Will staining my deck or fence help protect against Richmond’s pollen and mold issues?
Yes. Our sealants repel moisture, helping prevent mold, mildew, and pollen buildup.
How long does the stain and sealant take to dry in RVA conditions?
Usually 24–48 hours, depending on humidity. Avoid foot traffic during this window.
Do you offer both oil-based and water-based options?
Yes. We offer both based on the wood, project needs, and local factors. Homes in shaded areas like Bon Air or Glen Allen often benefit from quicker-drying water-based options.
Do you provide free estimates in Richmond and surrounding areas?
Yes! We provide no-obligation estimates across Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield, and Hanover.
