Paint financing detailsStraight answers
As a rule of thumb, a deck needs a fresh coat of stain every 2 to 4 years. Sun, moisture and the type of stain decide where you land in that range.
Decks take a beating from sun, rain and freeze-thaw swings, and the deck floor wears out first. Fading, a dry or gray look, water that soaks in instead of beading, and peeling are signs it is time.
At your free estimate we look at the finish and tell you honestly what can wait and what should not.
Semi-transparent stain lets the wood grain show through, and solid stain gives you an opaque color that covers it. We use Sherwin-Williams Woodscapes in either one.
Semi-transparent stain suits wood in good shape where you want the natural look. Solid stain hides weathering and imperfections, which makes it the choice for an older deck.
We apply Sherwin-Williams Woodscapes Rain Refresh in a solid color, and Sherwin-Williams Woodscapes in solid or semi-transparent. We help you choose the color too.
Deck staining in Branson averages $5 to $9 per square foot, depending on how much prep work and repair the surface needs.
For example, a 300-square-foot deck works out to roughly $1,500 to $2,700 at those averages. The low end is a deck in good shape that needs cleaning and light prep. The high end is a deck that needs scraping, sanding or repairs first.
These are averages, so your fixed price comes after a free estimate. Projects of any size are welcome, with several payment options: monthly payments, or do the project now and pay later. Cleaning, scraping, sanding and spot-priming are part of the price, not extras.
Yes. A peeling deck needs the old finish scraped and sanded off first, because new stain will not hold on top of a failing coat.
Peeling usually points to a prep problem the last time around, so we clean the wood, scrape and sand the loose finish, and brighten the wood before the new stain goes on. If boards are rotted, we tell you before we start.
If your deck is past saving, a new composite deck may make more sense, and we tell you honestly which one does.
In the Ozarks, spring and fall are the best times to stain a deck, when temperatures are mild and there are several dry days in a row.
Stain needs to cure without rain, heavy dew or freezing temperatures, and the wood has to be dry before it is coated. Mid-summer heat can make stain dry too fast in direct sun. Every Sherwin-Williams product has its own temperature range, and we follow it.
Booking ahead for spring and fall gets you on the schedule.
