The Importance of Deck Staining
Protection Against Wear and Tear
Over time, your deck is exposed to harsh weather, UV rays, and everyday wear. A new stain acts as a protective shield, preventing moisture from infiltrating and reducing the risk of warping, cracking, and fading.
Extended Lifespan for Your Deck
Regularly restaining your deck significantly contributes to its longevity. By investing in this maintenance task, you can ensure your deck remains structurally sound and visually appealing for many years.
Enhanced Beauty
Restaining your deck not only revitalizes its color but also brings out the natural beauty of the wood. This enhances the overall aesthetic of your property and increases the deck’s actual usability and appearance.
Increased Property Value
Potential buyers are often drawn to homes with attractive outdoor spaces; if your deck looks unattractive or neglected, they may overlook your property entirely. A freshly stained deck is an appealing feature that can lead to higher offers and quicker sales.
What Can Happen If You Don’t Maintain Your Wood Deck?
Wood Rot and Decay
Without regular sealing and staining, moisture can infiltrate into the wood, causing rot and decay that could ruin your deck.
Discoloration
Strong UV rays from the sun can fade your deck’s beautiful wood color, leaving it looking dull and uninviting over time.
Increased Repair Costs
Skipping maintenance might save you money and time now, but it can lead to bigger problems later, resulting in higher repair or replacement bills.
Decreased Property Value
A deck that looks neglected can bring down the overall appearance and value of your home, making it less appealing to potential buyers.

Types of Deck Stains
When selecting deck stains, you have three options: transparent, semi-transparent, and solid. Our contractors are here to help you choose the best stain based on your aesthetic preferences and maintenance needs.
Transparent Deck Stain
Transparent deck stains enhance the natural beauty of your wood while keeping the grain visible. This type of stain works best on decks that aren’t too worn or damaged, however, they only offer limited protection against moisture and UV rays.
Semi-Transparent Deck Stain
Semi-transparent deck stains strike a balance between transparency and solid coverage. They provide better protection than transparent stains but still allow some of the wood grain to show through. While they come in many colors, keep in mind that they require more maintenance than solid stains.
Solid Deck Stain
Solid deck stains are your go-to choice for durability and protection. They effectively cover imperfections and come in a variety of colors and finishes, making them great for giving your deck a fresh look.

Frequently Asked Questions About Deck Staining
What is the best time of year to stain my decks?
The ideal time to stain your deck is during mild weather, typically between late spring and summer. This ensures optimal temperature and humidity levels, ensuring the stain adheres and dries properly. We avoid staining during extreme heat or cold and steer clear of rainy days.
How often should I stain my decks?
Staining your deck every 1 to 3 years is generally recommended, depending on several factors, including the type of stain used (transparent, solid, or semi-transparent), exposure to the elements, and overall wear and tear. In our rainy Washington climate, more frequent staining may be necessary due to increased moisture and water exposure. Regular inspections can help you identify when it’s time for a refresh - which we provide, just give us a call.
What types of deck stains do you offer?
We offer three types: transparent, semi-transparent, and solid stains, each offering different levels of protection and aesthetics. Our deck staining contractors will help you identify which type is best for your unique project.
How do I know when my deck needs to be stained?
One of the primary signs that your deck needs attention is if its vibrant color begins to look dull or washed out. This indicates that the stain is wearing off. Additionally, look for signs of cracking, peeling, rough texture, or any signs of rotting. If you notice any of these issues, we encourage you to reach out to us. We can help you with deck staining to restore your deck to its former glory.
How much does deck staining cost?
The cost of deck staining can vary widely based on factors such as the size of your deck, the type of stain used, and labor costs. On average, you can expect to pay between 1,500 and 3,000 for our staining service here at Legacy Painting.
Can I stain my deck myself?
While it’s certainly possible to tackle this project on your own, there are several reasons to consider hiring professionals, such as proper preparation and application, specialized equipment, and experience. Hiring a pro can ultimately save you time, effort, and potential headaches in the long run.
What areas do you provide deck staining services for?
We proudly offer deck staining services for property owners and homeowners throughout King and Snohomish County, including Lynnwood, Edmonds, Bothell, Bellevue, Snohomish, Everett, Kirkland, Woodinville, and the surrounding areas.
How long does deck staining take?
The duration for staining a deck typically ranges from 1-3 days depending on the size of the deck, the weather, and the extent of preparation required. Additional drying time after staining is also necessary, usually around 24 to 48 hours before use.
What is the preparation like for deck staining?
Preparing your deck for staining involves several key steps to ensure the best results. It typically starts with cleaning and power washing, followed by inspections for damages, such as cracked or loose boards, which will need repairs before staining. Depending on the condition of the wood or previous stain, we may need to sand into the wood to create an even appearance. Lastly, you must allow adequate drying time after cleaning and repairs to ensure the stain adheres properly.
How long do I need to stay off the deck?
After staining, staying off your deck for at least 24 to 48 hours is typically best to allow the stain to cure properly. For optimal results, avoid heavy use for about a week, including moving furniture, running on it, or placing heavy items on the surface. This will ensure the finish sets well and provides maximum protection.
