Deck Staining in Needham, MA

Penetrating stain soaks into the grain and fades instead of peeling. Solid film finishes peel and then need stripping.

On Needham properties

Decks, porches and exterior stairs in Needham take the full freeze-thaw cycle. Driveways and side yards mean a crew can stage properly on all four elevations, and exteriors here move faster than anything in the city. Structure gets checked before any finish goes down.

How we do it

Penetrating stain soaks into the grain and fades instead of peeling. Solid film finishes peel and then need stripping.

Penetrating semi-transparent or semi-solid stain, not a film-forming finish. Penetrating stain fades and recoats cleanly; film finishes peel and then need stripping before you can do anything at all.

Where these jobs go wrong

Solid stain on a horizontal deck surface. It looks great for two years and then peels in sheets, and stripping a peeling deck costs more than the original job.
