Most residential deck refinishing projects in the Seattle area run between $800 and $2,800, depending on square footage, the condition of the wood, and the stain you choose. Every estimate is free and itemized.

With a quality penetrating stain and proper prep, most decks hold up two to four years before needing a maintenance coat. Sun-and-rain-exposed surfaces wear faster than shaded railings.
Refinishing strips, cleans, sands, and re-coats a structurally sound deck. Restoration goes further, adding board replacement and repairs when a deck has rot, soft spots, or loose fasteners.
Yes. Board and railing replacement is part of our restoration service. We'll flag anything unsafe during the estimate and give you repair options — almost always cheaper than a full rebuild.
Late spring through early fall gives us the dry windows stain needs to cure properly. We book up fast in summer, so reaching out early in the season is smart.
We always prep. Cleaning, stripping, and sanding come first — staining over an unprepped deck is the number one reason finishes fail early. Prep is included in what we do.
We use professional-grade penetrating stains and sealers chosen specifically for our wet, variable climate. We'll walk you through transparent, semi-transparent, and solid options.
In most cases, yes. We bring samples and help you choose a tone — whether you want to stay close to the original or go warmer, darker, or more natural.
Most residential decks are a one-to-three day project depending on size, condition, and drying time. We'll give you a realistic timeline with your estimate.
Not the way we do it. We match pressure and technique to each surface — softer approaches on wood and siding, more power where it's safe. Careful method is the whole point.
Yes — a clean surface is essential for stain to bond and last. We often pair washing with refinishing so your deck or fence is prepped correctly in one visit.
We treat and significantly reduce most oil stains with targeted pre-treatment and washing. Very old, deeply penetrated stains may not lift completely, and we'll set honest expectations first.
Absolutely. Fence staining and restoration are core services. We coat cedar and pressure-treated fencing evenly for a uniform, long-lasting finish that protects the wood.
If the posts and framework are sound, restoration is usually the better value — cleaning, minor repairs, and sealing for a fraction of replacement cost. We'll assess it honestly.
We move or shield plants and cover delicate features before we start, and we clean up thoroughly when we're done. Respecting your property is part of the job.
We'll go over payment details with your written estimate. There's no charge for the estimate itself, and you'll know the full price before any work begins.
