Brighten
Neutralize the surface, improve appearance, and help reopen the wood pores.
Sand
Smooth the surface where needed to improve finish quality and stain performance.
Stain

How to prep a deck before you stain it?
Proper deck preparation, cleaning, drying, and sanding create the foundation for a long-lasting deck stain and beautiful results.

When is the best time to stain my new deck or fence in the CSRA?
Staining your new deck or fence at the right time and proper wood protection can help prevent cracking, splitting, warping, and premature graying. Professional deck and fence staining throughout Augusta and the CSRA.

When Should You Stain a New Deck in Augusta, GA? (Why Waiting 1 Year Ruins Wood)
In the Augusta, GA climate, you should stain a new pressure-treated deck or fence within 6 to 8 weeks of installation—not 12 months. Waiting a full year under the Southern sun causes rapid moisture loss, resulting in warped, split, and graying Southern Yellow Pine. Using professional penetrating oil-based products like Expert Stain, your deck can be protected in almost any temperature as long as the wood is dry.

The Central Savannah River Area (CSRA) is notoriously tough on exterior wood! Between Augusta’s intense summer UV rays, high humidity, frequent rain, and heavy seasonal pollen, untreated wood deteriorates fast.
Without protection, our local climate causes wood fibers to dry out, warp, crack, and split. Plus, high humidity creates a breeding ground for mold, algae, and mildew that turns your wood an ugly gray. Applying a high-quality, penetrating oil-based stain acts as a shield against moisture and sun damage, saving you from expensive repairs down the road.
Longevity varies based on the stain, wood species, sun exposure, water, sprinklers, foot traffic, and pool chemicals. A maintenance plan and timely maintenance coats help extend protection.
We generally use Expert Professional Wood Care oil-based stains and Sherwin-Williams SuperDeck 9600 Series solid stain. Product selection depends on the condition of the wood, the existing coating, and the desired finish.
Yes. Customizable maintenance plans are available to help keep the property cleaned and protected year-round. Eligible plans may include lifetime protection warranty options.
Before work begins, we inspect the property and identify surfaces that need protection. We use plastic, drop cloths, controlled application methods, and water masking where appropriate to help protect siding, concrete, brick, landscaping, pools, and neighboring property.
Stain helps protect exterior wood from ultraviolet exposure, moisture, graying, warping, cracking, splitting, and premature deterioration. It also enhances the natural appearance of the wood.
Because our office is centrally located on Columbia Road in Martinez, our crews are out in these local neighborhoods every day. We can typically schedule an on-site evaluation or provide an accurate digital quote within 24 to 48 hours of your request!
The best time is once the wood reaches the moisture content required by the stain being used. There is no universal waiting period. Weather, humidity, pressure treatment, and recent washing can affect timing, but many new fences and decks can be stained within roughly four to eight weeks.
