Greenville Deck Staining FAQs
Q: Is Superior Stain Solutions Licensed and Insured?
A: A: Yes, we are fully licensed and carry liability insurance. For our license number and proof of insurance, please contact us here.
Q: How often should I stain my deck?
A: In Greenville, SC, decks should be stained every 3-4 years to protect against South Carolina’s humidity, heat, and rain. The frequency depends on foot traffic, sun exposure, and the type of stain used.
​
Q: What is the best time of year to stain a deck?
A: The best time to stain a deck in Greenville is during spring or fall, when temperatures range between 50-85°F and humidity is lower. Avoid staining in extreme heat or rainy conditions to ensure proper absorption and longevity.
​
Q: How long does deck stain take to dry?
A: Drying times vary depending on the weather, but most deck stains in Greenville cure within 24-48 hours. Oil-based stains take longer than water-based stains, but both need time to fully set before heavy foot traffic.
​
Q: Should I stain or paint my deck?
A: Staining is the best option for decks in Greenville, as it penetrates the wood for better protection and won’t peel like paint. Oil-based stains provide maximum durability against UV rays and moisture.
​
Q: Do I need to clean my deck before staining?
A: Yes! A clean surface ensures the stain adheres properly. If your deck has greying, mildew, or dirt buildup, we recommend pressure washing and using a wood cleaner before applying stain.
​
Q: How long should I wait to stain a new deck?
A: It’s best to stain a new deck as soon as possible after the wood dries. Check the moisture levels—once they drop below 13%, the deck is ready for staining.
​
Q: What type of stain is best for decks?
A: In Greenville, we recommend:
-
Transparent or Semi-transparent stain for a natural look while protecting against UV rays and moisture.
-
Semi-solid or Solid stain for maximum durability and color coverage, ideal for older decks needing extra protection.
