Decks, porches, and stairs. We clean the wood, sand the rough spots, and use stains that hold up to Upstate sun, rain, and foot traffic. Rails and stairs get the same care as the floor.

Deck boards take the most abuse of any wood on the property: sun, standing water, and feet. We use a penetrating stain that wears down slowly rather than a film that peels in sheets, and we stain boards, stairs, and rails as one color so the deck ages together. Greyed or peeling decks are restoration first: wash, sand what needs it, then stain. That is still a deck staining job, not a rebuild.

  • Cleaning and sanding matched to the condition of the wood
  • Stains built for moisture and UV

How it goes

Three steps. None skipped.

  1. 01

    We check the condition

    Moisture, worn traffic lanes, and any old coating. That tells us how much prep the deck needs and whether the new stain will bond.

  2. 02

    We clean and sand

    Wash the deck, sand where the wood is rough or the old finish is failing. Skipping this is why decks peel.

  3. 03

    We stain for traffic

    Deck boards get sun, rain, and feet. We use a penetrating stain that wears down slowly instead of peeling in sheets.

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.

Matt B.

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!

Amy K.

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.

Questions

Before you book.

Anything not covered here, call or text 864-800-8275.

How much does deck staining cost?

Square footage, rails, stairs, and how much prep the wood needs are what move the number. A deck that just needs a wash and a maintenance coat is a smaller job than one with a peeling old finish that has to come off. We quote after we see it, and the number is flat-rate and in writing.

Do you stain stairs and rails with the deck?

Yes. Boards, stairs, and rails get stained as one job so the color matches everywhere. Deck boards take the most sun, rain, and foot traffic, so they get the most prep.

Do you check moisture before staining a deck?

Yes. Oil-based stain wants wood under 13% moisture. We check with a meter at the estimate so the finish actually bonds.

How long does a deck staining job take?

Small decks are often a one-day job. Larger decks with heavy prep can take 1 to 3 days. Weather can move the calendar.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. We are SC licensed and carry liability insurance. A certificate of insurance is available on request. License RBS 66117.
