Prep & Products
Clean, dry wood and the right SuperDeck stain.
Exterior wood moves with the weather. Stain that goes on dirty or damp wood peels and fades early, so cleaning and a full dry-down come before any coating. Then we apply Sherwin-Williams SuperDeck, choosing solid or semi-transparent (including oil semi-solid) to match the wood and the look you want.

Common Questions
Deck and fence staining questions from Gainesville homeowners.
Should I stain or paint my deck?
For most wood decks and fences we recommend stain, not house paint. Stain moves with the wood and lets you choose solid coverage or a semi-transparent look that shows the grain. We pick the system after looking at the wood’s condition.
Do you clean the deck before staining?
Yes. Cleaning and letting the wood dry thoroughly is part of the prep. Stain applied over dirt, mildew or wet wood fails early, so we don’t skip that step.
What stain do you use?
We use Sherwin-Williams SuperDeck stains, including oil semi-solid options that suit North Georgia decks and fences. Your proposal lists the product and the number of coats for floors, railings and fence boards.
Can you stain a privacy fence on both sides?
Yes. We stain privacy fences on one or both sides, including HOA and property fences, after cleaning and confirming the wood is ready. Access, gates and neighbor sides are planned at the walkthrough.
When is the best time to stain a deck in North Georgia?
Dry stretches in spring and fall are usually easiest, but work can be done whenever temperature, humidity and the rain forecast stay within the stain’s label limits. We won’t coat wet wood.
