Common questions

Fence & deck staining in Travelers Rest

How much does it cost to stain a fence or deck in Greenville?

Price depends on size (linear feet of fence or square feet of deck), the current condition of the wood, how many sides we stain, and the product you choose. New, clean wood costs less than weathered wood that needs stripping. We give a free, exact written estimate after a quick look — no guessing and no obligation.

How long does fence and deck stain last in South Carolina?

In the Upstate’s sun and humidity, a quality finish typically lasts 2–5 years before a maintenance coat. Semi-transparent and solid stains last longer than clear sealers, and proper prep (washing + brightening) is the single biggest factor in how long it holds up.

Do you stain both sides of the fence?

Yes — staining both sides is our standard. Both sides are exposed to weather, and finishing both protects the wood and looks far better from your neighbor’s side too. If you only want one side, just let us know and we’ll price it that way.

Do you pressure wash and prep the wood first?

Only when the wood needs it. Brand-new fences and decks are often clean enough to stain after a light rinse — no heavy prep required. Older, weathered, or previously-finished wood gets a proper soft wash, brightener, and dry time so the new stain bonds. We assess the surface during the estimate and only do (and charge for) the prep your wood actually needs.

Should I choose oil-based or water-based stain?

We recommend oil-based stain for most fences and decks. Oil penetrates into the wood instead of forming a surface film, so it’s far less likely to peel or chip as it ages — it fades gracefully and is easy to recoat. Water-based stains are available and offer a wide color range, but film-forming finishes are more prone to peeling over time. We’ll walk through the trade-offs for your project during the estimate.
