Deck Staining

If you haven't had your deck stained at all or since it was first installed, the surface is likely absorbing more damage with every season. Sun exposure, moisture, and foot traffic all break down untreated wood, leaving it vulnerable to cracking, fading, and early deterioration.

Bailey's Deck Refinishing brings back the protection and depth your deck needs with professional staining tailored to your wood type and how you use the space.

Call (707) 528-7148 to schedule your deck staining today and extend its life.

How Does Deck Stain Impact Longevity?

Wood that’s never been stained—or hasn’t been treated again in years—gradually breaks down under constant outside exposure. Moisture sinks into the grain, UV rays dry it out, and the natural movement of the wood over time leads to cracks, splintering, and surface erosion.

Deck stain creates a protective layer that slows this process by repelling water and shielding the wood from sun damage. Consistent upkeep helps your deck retain its strength and shape and finish far longer than untreated or neglected wood. If the treatment is delayed, you’re looking at a potential replacement or at least a handful of repairs, which are often more involved and expensive than routine staining.

When Should You Book a Deck Staining Service?

Deck stain needs to penetrate the wood to be effective. As a general rule, most decks should be restained every two to three years, but usage and the original finish can shorten that timeline. For example, if your deck gets full sun all day and hasn’t been treated in two summers, the surface may already be accumulating damage.

You can call our deck staining service if you notice:

• Water no longer beads on the surface.
• Wood appears dry, gray, or sun-bleached.
• You can see flaking, peeling, or worn areas.

• Boards feel rough or splintered.
• The stain has visibly faded or turned patchy.

Bailey's Deck Refinishing: Custom Deck Staining Services

Get that dark, rich-toned look for your deck with our custom deck staining services. We match the right finish to your wood type, layout, and long-term use.

Here's our custom process for achieving a refreshed deck that looks great and performs even better:

• Inspect the deck surface for wear and damage.
• Clean the wood using pressure washing.
• Remove any remaining loose stain.

• Choose a stain based on wood type and preference.
• Apply the stain evenly to ensure deep penetration.
• Allow proper drying time between coats if necessary.

Why You Need To Pressure Wash Before Staining

We pressure wash every deck before applying stain. This removes dirt, mildew, and any leftover coatings that would otherwise block the finish from penetrating the surface.

Once the wood is clean and exposed, the stain can soak in evenly and bond as intended. If this step were skipped, the finish wouldn’t last as long, and it could compromise the look of the final result.
