How long does a deck or fence stain last in South Florida?
“In our climate, a properly prepped solid or semi-transparent stain typically holds 3–5 years on horizontal deck surfaces and 5–7 years on vertical fence boards. UV intensity, proximity to salt air, and wood species all affect the timeline. Ask us to confirm coverage for your specific scope in the written estimate.”

“The main cost drivers are total square footage, the current condition of the wood (heavy mildew, old peeling stain, or gray weathering requires more prep), the product selected, and accessibility. Composite decking costs less to prep than bare wood but needs a specific bonding formula. We provide a free written estimate before any work begins so there are no surprises.”
View in the company profileDo you stain composite decking, or only wood?
“We work with both. Composite decking doesn't absorb stain the way wood does, so we use a penetrating, composite-compatible formula from Sherwin-Williams rather than a film-forming stain. The process also skips sanding and uses a gentler low-pressure wash to avoid damaging the surface texture. If you're unsure what you have, we'll identify the material during your free estimate.”
