8 Reasons Late Spring is the Best Season to Stain your Deck or Fence

By choosing to stain your deck or fence, it creates a more clean and complete look to your backyard. Staining with a darkened look will help keep the wood looking brand new! After investing money and time on adding a deck or fence to your home, you want to treat it right, with regular maintenance and investment to ensure it does not deteriorate.

You don’t want to leave untreated wood on it’s own, as it’s subjected to many problems. Issues will quickly arise with mildew, fading, cracking, sun damage, splinters, and mis-colouring leaving you with a deck or fence you will have to re-do again in a few short years. With proper protection, your deck will be able to withstand any weathering, staining, or structural damages. By choosing to stain your deck or fence, you can protect yourself from future damages and make it easier to clean and maintain for the future!

Deck staining and fence staining can be done yourself, if you have the tools and skills for it. Like most of us, it’s best to contact a professional like us as Seal Tech to revitalize your fence, deck, or any other wood surface! The next question is when should you stain your deck or fence?

It can be hard to set time aside to work on your backyard design when multitasking work and the family. At Seal Tech, we recommend scheduling your staining service for late spring, and here are the 8 reasons why:

1. Start the project now so it’ll be done by summer.
2. Staining takes time. There is a unique process as each step cannot be completed right after one another. Leave enough time for the process to be completed before summer.
3. It is the best time as the rainy season is coming to an end and the summer heat hasn’t begun.
4. With your new deck/fence you’ll be ready to host your friends and family over for summer activities.
5. Staining can be done by our professionals during the day, while you’re at work. This way, you don’t have to come home to construction.
6. The weather isn’t as hot, so it’s not as labouring to work in outdoor conditions.
7. You will have enough use out of our deck before the seasons change.
8. Staining needs time to set. Once dry it is ready to protect your deck or fence from the colder weather and elements of rain and snow.

Our professionals will help make this process go along faster and easier, so you won’t have to worry! We can help restore the pride and beauty back into your backyard. We have clear, semi-transparent, and semi-solid stain options for you to choose from for your deck staining or fence staining.
