Deck staining — sand, stain (oil), protect

When people say “deck staining,” they want colour and protection. We achieve that with penetrating oils that give a stained look without the peeling of film finishes. Oils must soak into bare timber, so older decks usually start with a full sand. If your boards still have old paint or stain, begin with Deck Restoration, then oil for a rich, lasting result. The finish fades naturally and is easy to refresh – no stripping.

Deck Staining FAQs

Is deck staining different from oiling?

They overlap. Our pigmented penetrating oils act like a stain — adding colour as they protect. Unlike surface stains or paints, they soak into the timber and won’t peel.

Can you stain over old coatings?

No — penetrating oils need bare timber. If your deck has paint, stain, or film finishes, we first sand it back through a full restoration so the new stain can bond properly.

Why use penetrating oils instead of film stains?

Film stains sit on the surface and often peel or crack. Penetrating oils give the same stained look but are easier to maintain — they simply fade and can be refreshed with a simple recoat.
