A proven approach that delivers consistent, beautiful results
Wood Assessment
We inspect all wood surfaces for rot, mildew, splitting, and previous finish condition. Damaged boards are flagged for replacement before staining.
Power Washing
All surfaces are power washed to remove dirt, graying, mildew, and old stain residue. Wood brightener is applied if needed to restore the natural color.
Sanding & Repairs
Rough spots are sanded smooth, loose nails are secured, and small repairs are made. The goal is a clean, sound surface ready to absorb stain evenly.
Stain Application
One or two coats of premium stain (Benjamin Moore Arborcoat or Cabot) applied by brush and back-rolled for deep, even penetration into the wood grain.
Plant Protection & Cleanup
Surrounding plants and landscaping are protected throughout. Drop cloths are removed, the area is cleaned, and we do a final quality walkthrough.

Deck & Fence Staining FAQ for King West Homeowners
Answers to the questions we hear most often
When is the best time to stain a deck in King West?
Late spring through early fall when temperatures are consistently above 10 degrees Celsius and rain is not expected for 48 hours after application. May through September is the sweet spot for King West deck projects.
How often should I restain my deck?
Most Toronto decks need restaining every 2 to 3 years depending on sun exposure, foot traffic, and the type of stain used. Transparent stains need refreshing sooner than solid stains. We can assess your deck's current condition.
Do you power wash before staining?
Always. Power washing removes dirt, graying, mildew, and old stain residue. It opens the wood pores for maximum stain penetration. We also apply wood brightener when needed to restore the natural wood tone.
What stain brands do you recommend?
Benjamin Moore Arborcoat for most applications and Cabot Australian Timber Oil for hardwoods like ipe and mahogany. Both offer excellent UV protection, water resistance, and penetrating performance for Toronto's climate.
Can you stain a new deck?
Yes, but new pressure-treated wood needs to dry for 3 to 6 months before staining. We can assess your new deck's moisture level and recommend the best timing. Staining too early prevents proper penetration and adhesion.
Do you stain fences too?
Yes. We stain fences, pergolas, gazebos, railings, and all outdoor wood structures. Fence staining is often combined with deck work for a cohesive look and better pricing.
How much does deck staining cost in King West?
Deck staining in King West typically ranges from $3 to $6 per square foot depending on deck size, condition, and stain type. A standard 200 square foot deck runs $600 to $1,200. Free estimates available.
What warranty do you offer on deck staining?
Our 2-year warranty covers stain adhesion and application quality. Combined with the manufacturer's product warranty, your deck is protected. We also provide maintenance recommendations to extend the life of your stain.
