“It’s not just about color, it’s about care.”
Protect. Preserve. Bring out the beauty.
There’s nothing like stepping outside into a space that feels like your own, where the sun warms the wood beneath your feet, and the stress of the day fades into evening light. That’s the power of a well-built deck.

For over 16 years, we’ve been Austin’s go-to deck installation experts, building structures that last, styles that inspire, and relationships that endure.
Texas sun. Sudden downpours. Long dry spells. Your deck faces it all. Staining isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s about survival.
Sun Protection
Our UV-rated stains shield wood from harsh rays that cause fading, drying, and splintering.
Rain Resistance
Stains act like a raincoat, sealing out moisture to prevent mold, rot, and warping.
Natural Beauty, Amplified
Staining brings out the grain, warmth, and character of your deck, in the tone that fits your home.
Longer Life, Fewer Repairs
Routine staining can double the life of your deck and help avoid costly damage down the line.
This isn’t a quick DIY brush-over. We follow a proven, professional process designed for long-term results.
We inspect your deck to understand its condition and recommend the right stain type. Then we power wash and clean it thoroughly, removing dirt, mildew, and any lingering old finish.
For older or previously stained decks, we sand rough areas to smooth the surface and help the new stain absorb evenly.
We apply stain using expert brush and spray techniques for deep, even coverage. No blotches. No missed spots.
Once applied, we let the stain cure and settle in. You’ll get care tips so your deck stays beautiful for seasons to come.
Whether you’re going for bold or natural, modern or classic, we’ve got the right tone for your space. Popular Options:
We work with premium brands like Ready Seal, Behr, TWP, and Cabot, so you’re getting stains that last, not fade

Our clients often combine deck staining with other upgrades:
Deck staining might seem simple, until it starts peeling or fading a few months later. We go deeper.
Our goal? A beautiful finish that protects your deck, and keeps it looking great for years.
Not every deck is the same, and we don’t treat them like they are. We’ll inspect your wood, test moisture levels, and assess past treatments to recommend exactly what it needs and nothing it doesn’t.
Your deck faces sun, rain, wind, and fluctuating temperatures all year long. Our stains act as a barrier to prevent cracking, fading, and water damage.
Preparation is key to a long-lasting stain. We clean, power wash, and sand your deck to create the perfect canvas.
