Deck staining. Mauldin, SC
Mauldin decks often need sanding in the traffic lanes and a wash on the greyed boards. We stain the floor, stairs, and rails as one so the whole deck ages together.
5.0 on Google from 33 reviews. Licensed RBS 66117. Insured.
Established Mauldin yards are where we spend a lot of time. The deck has been through a few Upstate summers. Traffic lanes are rough. Shaded sides have mildew. We wash what needs washing, sand the high-wear boards, then wait for the moisture to drop under 13% before any oil goes on.
Rails and stairs count. A quote that only prices the floor is not a real quote. We stain the whole system one color so you are not looking at two ages of wood on the same house.
Flat-rate quote in writing, 12-month workmanship warranty, licensed RBS 66117 and insured. If you also want the fence or a couple of rooms painted, we quote that on the same visit.

How we stain a deck in Mauldin
Moisture, worn traffic lanes, and any old coating. That tells us how much prep the deck needs and whether the new stain will bond.
Wash the deck, sand where the wood is rough or the old finish is failing. Skipping this is why decks peel.
Deck boards get sun, rain, and feet. We use a penetrating stain that wears down slowly instead of peeling in sheets.
What sets the price in Mauldin
One flat number. In writing, before we start.
Boards, stairs, and rails all count. Prep is the big lever: a wash and a fresh coat is the easy end, stripping an old film finish is the hard end. We look at your job and write one price. No hourly billing, no add-ons at the end.

Superior Stain Solutions did a fabulous job including pressure washing our 2 covered porches days before applying the stain several days later. They completed both porches in one day that included removing the gutters in the process. I love the color I selected as shown with the before and after photos. I highly recommend them if you have a fence, deck or a porch project needing professionals!
Adrian, Preston, and the team had by far exceeding my expectation. My wooden deck and stair need restoration and stain. It was definitely the right decision to hired this team. The quote was very fast, detail, and professional. Communication was the best I have ever experienced. Will definitely hire Superior Stain Solutions again for any future painting or staining project.
Great work, constant communication throughout the whole project. Have also heard great things from other clients they have done work for. Punctual, fair, responsive, honest. Will use again!
Adrian and Preston did a great job. I usually do my own painting because it is difficult to find painters that can paint to my standards. I was in a time crunch and needed help preparing my father-in-law’s house to sale. So happy I chose Superior Stain Solutions.
Adrian did an excellent job painting the inside of my condo. They painted all of the walls, ceilings, and trim. I wanted to add some color in the dining room, so they referred a local mural artist. They were polite, showed up on time, and worked efficiently. I definitely recommend them!
Superior Stain Solutions is a fantastic company that keeps their word and did an amazing job staining our wooden fence. An exceptional company that could not have pleased us more. Highly recommended!
Adrian was super responsive, sent the quote fast, and Mike’s staining work looked amazing. Excellent prices and easy to work with!
Superior Stain Solutions did a fantastic job staining my fence out by Greenville SC. Adrian was on time and reliable. I would highly recommend them for any staining or painting projects.
We got our fence and deck stained. They were able to do it in one day. Adrian was able to give us a great affordable quote. The stain looks great! Highly recommend them.
Adrian visited our property several times before staining our new privacy fence, making sure the moisture content was appropriate for staining. He provided us with a professional assessment and quote.

Yes. We are based in Duncan and Mauldin is in our regular service area. Free flat-rate estimates, typically within one business day.
Square footage, rails, stairs, and how much prep the wood needs set the price. A wash and a fresh coat is the easy end. Stripping an old film finish is the hard end. We look at the deck, then give you one flat number in writing. No hourly billing, no add-ons once we start. Estimates in Mauldin are free.
Oil-based penetrating stain is usually the better call in Upstate heat and humidity. It soaks in instead of sitting as a film that peels. We use Expert Stain and Seal and Sherwin-Williams stains, and we check moisture before we open a can.
Usually every 3 to 4 years. Opacity, sun, and maintenance can push that to 2 to 6 years. Decks often need attention a little sooner than fences.
You can DIY if you have the time, a washer, and patience for the weather window. Most Mauldin jobs fail because the wood was not washed or was still wet, not because of the stain. A pro quote is free. Compare that to doing it twice.
Usually 1 to 3 days. One-day jobs include standard fences under 400 linear feet and small decks. Weather can move the calendar.
If the wood has greyed, weathered, or molded, yes. We soft-wash aged wood before stain so the finish lasts.
Spring and fall, with moderate temperatures (about 50 to 85°F) and lower humidity. We follow the stain maker’s temperature range. We also stain in cooler weather with oil-based products when the wood is ready.
In the Upstate, most stains dry and cure in 24 to 48 hours. Oil-based takes longer than water-based. Leave it alone while it cures.
For most wood fences and decks here, oil-based stain is the better call. It soaks in instead of sitting as a film, so it is less likely to peel and crack in our sun and humidity.
Stain as soon as the moisture is right. After mill oils dry out, wood starts to crack, twist, grey, and mold. We check with a moisture meter. Below 13% is ready for oil-based stain.
