Deck Staining and Painting
In the Pacific Northwest, decks take a beating. Rain, shade, moss, and constant moisture strip finish fast — even on well-built decks. Leaving a wood deck unsealed accelerates rot, warps boards, and shortens lifespan significantly.
Professional staining and refinishing isn't cosmetic — it's protection. SiA Builds restores decks across Greater Seattle with proper sanding, prep, and premium-grade stain application. The result looks new and lasts.

Why Proper Prep Work Is Everything
Most staining jobs fail not because of bad stain — but because of bad prep.
We sand every surface before applying anything. That means removing old finish, opening the wood grain, and ensuring the stain penetrates properly instead of sitting on top and peeling within a season.
We don't skip steps. And we use professional-grade stains rated for Pacific Northwest weather conditions.
How Much Does Deck Staining Cost?
Deck staining costs in the Greater Seattle area typically range from:
| Basic staining (small deck, good condition) | $400 – $900 |
| Full sanding + staining (average deck) | $800 – $2,000 |
| Large or multi-level deck restoration | $2,000 – $4,500+ |
Price depends on deck size, current condition, and finish type. We provide a free on-site estimate with a clear written quote — no guessing.
Stain vs. Paint — What's Right for Your Deck?
Stain penetrates the wood and allows it to breathe — better for most outdoor decks, especially wood and cedar. It shows natural grain and is easier to re-apply over time.
Paint sits on the surface and provides a solid color. It offers more coverage for weathered or discolored wood, but requires more prep and peels if applied incorrectly.
We'll recommend the right option based on your deck's material, condition, and how much maintenance you want to do going forward.
How Often Should You Restain a Deck in Washington?
In the Pacific Northwest, we recommend restaining wood decks every 2–3 years — sometimes every year for decks in heavy shade or direct rain exposure.
Signs it's time to restain:
- Water no longer beads on the surface
- Color has faded to gray
- Surface feels rough or splintery
- Moss or algae is building up
Regular staining is far cheaper than repairing rot damage from an unprotected deck. Think of it as annual maintenance that saves thousands later.

Common Questions About Deck Staining
-
Can you stain over old stain?
It depends. If the old stain is in good condition and the same type, sometimes yes. If it's peeling, flaking, or a different finish — full sanding is required first. We assess this on-site. -
How long does deck staining take?
Most single-level decks are completed in 1–2 days, including prep and drying time. Larger or more complex decks may take 2–3 days. We'll give you a clear timeline upfront. -
When is the best time to stain a deck in Seattle?
Late spring through early fall — when temps are consistently above 50°F and rain isn't in the immediate forecast. May through September is ideal. We track weather conditions for every job. -
Can you repair damaged boards and stain in the same project?
Yes — this is the most efficient approach. We repair first, sand everything to a uniform surface, then apply stain. One crew, one visit, consistent result.
